Lesson – an amount of teaching given at one time; a period of learning or teaching
There are few things as humbling as a first-time hunt. There are also few things that connect you to nature and your soul than spending time in a tree stand with nothing but your weapon, your instinct, and your mind. In these scenarios, there are valuable lessons to be learned.
In this episode of Untaming Masculinity, Dan talks with Brad about his experience of spending a few days at deer camp and the life lessons that he found in a tree stand. During his few days in the woods, braving the elements, he discovered a lot about masculinity and himself.
One of those key lessons, especially on the hunt, is that of failure. Failure is often seen as a debilitating setback that cannot be overcome. This view is shortsighted and destructive. In reality, failure is a valuable lesson. We, as men, fail. We fail regularly. The conscious decision to learn from failure and to fail fast and fail forward is what distinguishes great men from the rest of the pack. By learning to finish your failure, you will ultimately succeed.
He also learned other valuable lessons that he discusses, including integrity and how choosing to obey the laws of the land when no one is watching is what distinguishes great men from mediocre ones. He discusses experiencing life lessons about legacy and rites of passage that are passed from generation to generation. He also spends some time talking about the thrill that comes from being on the precipice of danger and how men crave that in their lives.
