THE BETTER MAN|| TRUTH&TRADITION

Seneca wrote, "There is nobeast way from earth to the stars."

Higher realities and their achievements come with a lofty cost. We've awakened from comfortable slumber , we are wiping the sleep from our blinded hearts. Success and winning is now our creed.

But are we prepared? Because winning and the size of your reward reflects your sacrifice. In so much as you are willing to lose you are able to gain. Because winning is only achievable when there is opposing competition.

This opposition begats a winner and loser. A conflict of interest if you will. And on the self-reliant journey of man that contest is waged internally A war between the hero and the tyrant.

The hero wants to shed light on more, and the tyrant of ego, complacency, and passivity, wants the dark. So a majority of men avoid the internal conflict and surrender to the comfort of loss instead of winning the stars of a hero.

WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO SACRAFICE TO WIN?

Truth is our greatest power. Honesty is the ally we all seek. It is the foundation that eternal principles stand upon. However we live a landscape full of falsity, deception and half- truths.

Many forego the difficulties of honest living in exchange for the ease of temporary and instant gratification. Few will ever examine the advice and direction they are given.

We all accept the standard, the norm, as the truth.
But when our lives are built on misguided perceptions, there will inevitably be collateral damage. Lies always result in chaos, either externally or internally

When a person spreads lies in any manner, consequences will be thorns and thistles, pain and anguish. In contrast, a life sewing truth, will reap order. WHAT AREAS OF YOUR LIFE ARE YOU ANALYZING FOR ITS TRUTH AND FALSITY?

Imagine the bleakness of a mans life without an imagination. The very word imagine offers man the ability to conceptualize something bigger than himself. All innovations and advancements derive from our ability to extract a tangible reality from our larger than life ideas.

The utility of imagination when coupled with action gives man meaning, purpose, and merit. When we sacrifice less than distractions and idleness to focus with an unremitting aim; we find that our ideas enable us to be conductors to help facilitate the growth of higher realities

As 21st century men , we constantly contend with shiny new distractions(the challenge of progression). We must overcome the superficial ideas masquerading as success, and begin to explore our nature. The nature of imaginative co-creators.

Imagine yourself as a surrogate carrying the next great idea. Choose to birth something transcending the degenerative norms of society.

WHAT IS YOUR LARGER THAN LIFE IDEA?

Strength is the ability to keep the perimeter in crisis. This can be both figurative and literal. Are we able to hold our ground in tough situations? A mans capacity for higher virtue is a reflection of a his physical and emotional strength.


In an average and weak culture it is an advantage to be anti-fragile. Strength is built by repetition and intention. When shit hits the fan, have we disciplined ourselves enough in days past to regulate the present. Life is difficult. "Enemies" will always be at the gate testing our stamina and will.


A man of value and strong character will be found more respectable, authoritative, attractive, and fit for example. Begin to appreciate the lessons and character earned through developing your strength. Push yourself to the limits and note your strengths and areas which need improving.


HOW STRONG ARE YOU?

It is time to stand straight, chin up, chest out, and shoulders back. Plant your feet solid into your chosen domain, and begin to believe in yourself.

"I'm a man dammit" shall be your anthem.

The all-pervasive force of manhood will rev its engine and drive you in to competence. The competence that brings the confidence to believe , "If I perform X it will result in Y."

Quit shirking your nature and being pushed to the outer boundaries of life. Instead, center yourself in your rightful position. Stand up, breathe in the possibilities and master your life

It is vital to believe in your abilities. As we become competent in one arena it soon overlaps into other areas. So stand up and stand strong. Hell, if you only practice standing upright well, it will quickly spill into other facets of living.

HOW ARE YOU STANDING TODAY?

Imagine the brilliant designs of architecture. Visualize the amazing result of one brick at a time strategically placed into its designed position. The consequences of one brick at a time can be breathtaking.

Our lives are no different. The greatness in life is a direct correlation of our actions. Likewise, the insufficiency of life is due to our inaction. Better action reciprocate better results.

Our life is simply a construction of our actions. We would be wise to ask ourselves, "Are my actions leading to a successful life, or a regretful existence?"

A meaningful life is connected to meaningful consequences. What if we became precise and intentional with each action we choose to initiate? And remember inaction is often times the loudest action.

Be careful in what you choose or choose not to do. Your life is a reflection of your choices. WHAT ARE YOU CHOOSING TODAY?

Society largely undermines individuality. We witness a culture that promotes uniqueness, yet according to the pre-determined mold of their liking. As men one way to remove ourselves from the assembly line of mass production is to begin following our innate nature. The calling to explore and discover is our invitation.

Practical wisdom (if it can be called wisdom) suggests following the course of success laid out before us. However, how many mid-life crises must men encounter before we choose to be self-reliant?

Quit daydreaming about the life you wish to have. Assume responsibility, become informed on the necessary requirements to achieve your life, know where the hell it is you want to go, and for godsake, make some decisions.

A right one, a wrong one, but make the choice YOURS. Take some initiative and I promise , success will follow. WHERE CAN YOU IMPROVE TODAY?

You are a man. It is time to celebrate the valuable resource fanning its masculine frame within. PURE POTENTIAL. Most men routinely go through the motions of a mundane life without any thought of their true potential.

Contemplate the dramatic change in life from the 1st tribe of men and the present state of man. It is incredible to reflect on the paramount advancements. As men, let's begin to have a keen awareness of our true nature.

Let us relish in the possibilities of being a man. Ask yourself "what if I became obsessed with life and establishing myself as creator of my own damn life?"

Instead of being a chameleon adapting to the conditioned colors, we actually become men separated for our own good. Your value is truly unlimited. Treat yourself the way you would treat a man you admire and aspire to be. HOW WELL CAN YOU TREAT YOURSELF TODAY!?
