Establish The Man Core Principle No. 5a & 5b:

5a: "The Established Man has a foundation of masculine faith, mental and emotional strength, that comes from who he has become due to facing the storms of life".

5b: "The Established Man is not defined by the fulfilment of his dreams. He is defined by the character he develops along the journey towards his dreams".

In this episode we talk about the above core principles of the established man. An established man does the work necessary to develop strong faith with mental and emotional strength. The established man can see the weaknesses in himself when he exhibits poor behaviour during times of stress. He uses the storms of life or the hard times to refine his character rather than let his emotions get on top of him and affect the people around him. He doesn't bottle up his emotions in a fake show of stoicism. He openly acknowledges his struggles and finds ways to build his strength so he can be the man who inspires and protects his family and others around him.

Remember, the established man is not perfect. He has flaws and he has struggles, because he is doing great things with his life. He is becoming a man of wisdom and faith by facing the hard issues of his experience.
