We live in a culture that worships comfort.
Easy wins. Cushy routines. The path of least resistance.
But as Garrett White, founder of Wake Up Warrior, recently told me on the podcast: “You cannot be both comfortable and powerful.”
That one line punched me in the gut.
Because if we’re being honest, most men today are chasing comfort while wondering why they feel so lost, unmotivated, and disconnected.
Garrett calls it what it is: sedation.
Sedation through porn.
Sedation through Netflix.
Sedation through nice-guy behavior.
Sedation through endless scrolling, sipping, and numbing.
Meanwhile, the fire inside, the primal part of a man that was born to hunt, to protect, to lead, has all but gone out.
Garrett’s not talking about aggression or recklessness. He’s talking about integrity, discipline, and presence.
A dangerous man is one who’s:
• Disciplined in his body – not because he wants abs, but because he refuses to
be weak.
• Clear in his mind – able to tell himself the truth, even when it hurts.
• Grounded in his purpose – building something bigger than himself.
• Unshakable in his relationships – a leader who protects and provides, without apology.
But here is the deal:
You don’t become that man by reading about it.
You become him by doing hard things, on purpose, every single day.
Garrett calls it warrior training. Not in a metaphorical sense, but as a way of life.
It’s about declaring war on the lazy, indulgent, weak version of yourself and choosing to kill him off before he kills your dreams, your relationships, or your legacy.
It needs more dangerous men.
Men who can be trusted.
Men who can protect.
Men who stay steady when things get messy.
If you’re feeling stuck, soft, or spiritually bored, this conversation is your sign.
Stop numbing. Stop pretending. Start building.
“Most men are not stuck because of a lack of information. They’re stuck because they refuse to go to war with themselves.” – Garrett White
Take inventory:
Where are you sedated?
Where are you playing small?
Where are you choosing comfort over growth?
Do one thing today that makes you uncomfortable, something that sharpens your edge.
You weren’t born to be safe.
You were born to be dangerous.
