I Feel Stuck" – Why Almost Every Dad Says This (And What To Do About It)

Almost every dad I talk to says the same thing when I ask, “Where are you stuck?” The answer: “I feel stuck.” Not just stuck in life—but stuck in identity, purpose, discipline, direction.

Paul said it best:

“I used to be a disciplined man... a police officer, in the military, I had a purpose. But now… I’m just surviving.”

Brother, I’ve been there. That fire you used to have? It's not gone—it’s buried. Your purpose isn’t lost. What you’ve lost is your clarity, your power, your confidence. And here’s the truth: you get it back by showing up for yourself daily.

In this video, I break down a simple, tactical system that helped me—and countless other men—get unstuck:

✅ Wake up 30 mins earlier ✅ 10 mins of silence or prayer ✅ Journal 3 things you're going to conquer today ✅ Repeat daily, no excuses

This is not about motivation. It’s not about hype. It’s about proving to yourself you can keep the promises you make. It’s about taking your power back—one small win at a time.

Whether you’re lost in your marriage, disconnected from your kids, or just tired of surviving instead of living… this is where it starts.

Today, I’m breaking down one of the most powerful lessons a man can learn: FAIL FASTER. Whether you're building a business, leading your family, or trying to shed the damn dad bod—you’re gonna fall flat on your face. GOOD. That means you’re in the arena.

In this episode, I talk real about a business decision I had to make and how failing fast saved me. Then I tie it back to what truly matters—you showing up as a better man, husband, and father. ✅ Leading your family by example ✅ Dropping the excuses ✅ Cutting the comfort zone mentality ✅ And realizing every time YOU level up—everyone around you wins.

👊 This isn’t about perfection—it’s about DOMINATION. Inside the Dominate Daily Dads movement, we don’t just talk—we execute. We lead. We rise. You’re one decision away from becoming the man your legacy demands. Let’s go.

This isn’t some highlight reel. This isn’t surface-level fluff. This is real. Raw. Unfiltered.

Tonight, I went somewhere I’ve never gone before after 55+ vlogs and hundreds of reels. I shared a story I’m not proud of—because that’s where transformation begins. Not in the wins... but in the wake-up calls.

In this video, I break down:

👉 The story of how I lost my temper with my son 👉 Why so many dads are stuck in the Karma Cul-de-Sac 👉 The difference between change vs transformation 👉 How we keep repeating patterns from our childhood without knowing it 👉 The 4-part framework that can break the cycle 👉 Why most men are living in a lie… and how to finally build your life on truth

If you’re a dad who feels like he’s constantly on edge, stuck in guilt, ashamed of how he reacts, and desperate for peace at home and power within—this video is a MUST-WATCH.

🧠 I even grab the pen and draw this one out for you live on screen.

No one else is coaching like this. No one else is calling it out like it is. And no one else is creating this level of clarity in the chaos.

Today I didn’t want to show up. I’ve got a headache so bad I can barely see straight. But guess what? It doesn’t matter.

This is Dominate Daily Dad. And that means you show up anyway. Even when it hurts. Even when you’re tired. Even when you’d rather quit.

In today’s vlog, I share a powerful realization I had during this morning’s meditation. ⚠️ It hit me like a ton of bricks: I’ve been crushing it in some areas of my life… and completely unfocused in others. And the crazy part? I know better.

So I walk you through how I took that clarity and built a plan—because without a clear plan, your “effort” is just wasted energy.

This one’s for the high-performing husband, the overworked dad, the man who knows he’s capable of more… but hasn’t been executing with precision.

🔥 We’re talking body, business, marriage, and mindset. 🔥 No fluff. No feel-good affirmations. 🔥 Just the hard truth and how to fix it.

If you’re stuck, unfocused, or just coasting… this vlog is a wake-up call.

👉 Drop a comment. 👉 DM me on Instagram @paulmberens 👉 Or join the brotherhood where we build REAL plans to take back your power.

📍Remember: Clarity creates focus. Focus builds discipline. Discipline delivers results. Now go DOMINATE DAILY.

You’re Chasing the WRONG Damn Thing. Here’s the Wake Up Call You’ve Been Avoiding.

This video isn’t for the weak. It’s not for the guys still clinging to another 90-day shortcut, another $7 ebook, or the lie that success is supposed to feel good.

This is a gut check. You’re chasing shiny-ass distractions while dropping the gold brick you were meant to carry.

You don’t need another morning routine. You need to burn the damn blueprint for easy and get to work. You need a foundation. Reps. Sacrifice. Real conversations. Relentless execution.

Inside this episode:

• Why hacks are the porn of personal development

• Why you're stuck (and why it’s not your wife’s fault)

• What success ACTUALLY feels like

• Why domination starts with daily discipline, not dopamine hits

• How to stop being a boy pretending to be a man

This isn't motivational fluff. It’s a damn war cry.

So if you’re done being distracted… If you’re tired of playing life like a weak-ass boy with a beard…

Then fix your focus. Build your foundation. And DOMINATE DAILY.

👊 Let's go.

You’re Still in the Pit Because You Won’t Cut the Damn Rope.”

In this raw, no BS breakdown, Paul Berens unleashes a powerful metaphor from The Dark Knight Rises when Bruce Wayne finally escapes the pit by doing ONE thing

💥 He LEAPS without the rope

That rope? That’s your comfort zone That’s your backup plan That’s your excuses, bad habits, toxic relationships, and victim mindset

If you’re a man feeling STUCK in your body, your marriage, your money, your mindset it’s not because you’ve failed. It’s because you’re still trying to win while playing it safe

This video will wake you the hell up and force you to ask ➡️ What rope do I need to cut? ➡️ What lie am I still holding onto? ➡️ What version of me needs to die so the real man can rise?

🚫 This isn’t for the man who’s “trying” ✅ It’s for the man who’s READY Ready to leap Ready to dominate Ready to take back his life with no safety net

⚔️ If you're done playing small and want to roll with a brotherhood of men who burn the plan B and bet it all on themselves

DM me the word “DOMINATE”

Let’s cut the rope and rise

This ain't your feel-good, soft-on-the-edges motivational video. This is a wake-up call for every man sleepwalking through life, pretending he's “doing enough.”

📉 You're tired? So am I. 📉 You’re stuck? No, brother—you’re comfortable. 📉 You say you wanna change? Then STOP negotiating with your standards like they’re optional.

Today, I’m breaking down the truth about pressure: It doesn’t build character—it reveals it.

We talk:

• 🔥 The difference between showing up and showing UP with intent

• 🔥 The real reason you’re stuck on the same damn level

• 🔥 How I evolved from throwing tools in rage to leading with discipline

• 🔥 Why being “just consistent” means nothing if the work is garbage

• 🔥 What to do when quitting feels like the only option

This episode is for the dad who's tired of pretending, the husband hiding behind excuses, and the man who knows there's more—but hasn’t figured out how to access it.

📸 The gym post from 5 years ago reminded me of the war I’m still in—and why this fight never ends. There’s no finish line. Only levels.

If this video hits you in the gut—GOOD. That means it’s working. Now go rewrite your story.

You're Not Burnt Out… You're Just Lacking INTENTION

Most dads don’t need another podcast, book, or motivational quote. They need to wake the hell up and start living with INTENTION.

In this episode, I break down the hard truth that most men avoid: 👉 You're not overwhelmed because life’s too busy... 👉 You’re overwhelmed because you’re on autopilot. Checking boxes. Going through the motions. No fire. No purpose. No damn plan.

You’ll learn:

• Why "just showing up" is NOT enough (and never was)

• How lack of intention is destroying your health, marriage, and fatherhood

• The 5 daily questions every man must answer to take back control

• Why most men’s “habits” are just comfortable ruts keeping them stuck

• How to stop leading your family with guilt, shame, and survival mode

Whether it’s your workouts, your marriage, your kids, or your mission— INTENTION is the antidote to chaos.

If you’re tired of being the dad who shows up but never levels up… This one's for you.
