Dear Brothers

How you speak to yourself matters. It is either because you do not want to face the world and prefer hiding behind the title of "stupid" or, you think yourself unworthy. The earlier is simply another version of procrastination and fear. We must banish that. The latter, needs to be crushed now. You are worthy to accomplish gentlemen. Never forget that. 

"Find someone who grows flowers in the darkest parts of you

- Zach Bryan 

It is time to show ourselves and young men the necessity of reading and writing. It can no longer be delayed. 

If you are capable of screaming at your spouse, there are a great many things you need to address. No good relationship should allow venom to come from their lips. That shows a lack of emotional control and respect towards the other person. You must keep communication as the pinnacle of your relationship and remember that hatred from your mouth has no place. 

It is far more important to develop better habits around training, moving better, and the makeup of your diet then to be solely focused on weight loss through fad diets. 

Be weary of what you are taking in. If you find yourself obsessed with sexualized material, you need to check yourself. That mustard seed only leads to ruin. 

Just because we are not constantly at war and you are required to be in the ordained militia (our military) does not mean you can allow yourself to soften in your ability to protect those you love.

This is not optional. In "peaceful" times, you must prepare harder than ever in the event someone shows up to your door or threatens those you love. 

To die is a part of life. What we leave behind matters far more than how we go. 

It is easy to fall into temptations when we are at our lowest and many do not blame you for that, but at our highest, when all is great, that is when the demons find their way into your ear telling you how special you are. That is when real calamity can come down. Be on guard always gentlemen. 

You cannot just keep using apologies to absolve you of crimes. Eventually, you have to just be better.
