A great life is merely a collection of victorious days. ~Chad Howse [Tweet “A great life is merely a collection of victorious days.”] You’ve won a day before. It was the day where you woke up earlier, got to work with more focus. Time flew. Maybe you forgot to eat breakfast. The minutes flew by […]

Men Are Wild At Heart
Be not timid nor afraid, for you’re a man, and you were born wild at heart. ~Chad Howse I was taught well. Not to brag or anything like that. But I wasn’t taught to be a follower. Nor was I taught to run from a fight. Sure, I was punished for exploring the city on […]
Life Is Hard. Deal With It.
Life isn’t easy. Accept that single fact and move on. ~Chad Howse If you want to do something of value and be someone of value you have to come to the understanding that life isn’t easy. It hasn’t been easy for anyone, at least anyone wanting to leave a fingerprint on the planet before they […]
Staying The Course to Greatness
Consistency carried out with persistence will eventually lead to greatness. Few, today, want to be or do either. ~Chad Howse Last night a few of my buddies, along with myself, were spit-balling about possibly going out to get a drink. We’d spent the day in the mountains, capped a wonderful hike off with a few […]
You Don’t Deserve a Vacation
Too often today we think we “need” a vacation. It’s bullshit. 50 years ago vacations were a rarity and relegated to the summer. Now everyone’s taking one. The more the merrier. What about work? What about becoming more, creating more, and perfecting your craft.
That Little Voice in Your Head is a Sissy
The enemy of happiness is complaining. Men don’t do that shit. -Chad Howse I’m reading one of the best stories I’ve ever read. It’s the story of Adam Brown, member of SEAL Team Six, father, husband, all around great man, and former drug addict, now deceased. (Check it out here: Fearless) I’ve never read a […]
Man Up Monday: A Man Can’t Have a Bleeding Heart
Where hearts bleed brains cannot function. When you feel instead of think, you remove yourself from being able to find a good solution, and yet so many of our big decisions are made with our hearts instead of our minds. A man can’t live like this. He can’t thrive like this. Evil exists. You can’t […]
Stop Fucking Around: A Serious Look At How You Use Time
This morning I woke up at 5am, showered, then walked downstairs to make a cup of coffee and get my morning reading and journaling done. I sat. I read. Then I dicked around for a half hour after I’d read, yielding nothing of value. (Read This: Morning Routine: Improve Focus and Productivity) I wasted the […]
Man Up Monday: Fear Monotony
Monotony scares the shit out of me. To wade into my days knowing exactly what’s going to happen with no prospect of growth or personal evolution is death. I need to extend who I am, to go where I’ve never been, to take on more than I can handle and to reach further than I […]
Man Up Monday: Pain is Your Friend and Ally
The most necessary thing in life, is pain. Without pain we cannot develop toughness or grit. Without pain we cannot improve, learn, and grow. Pain is our greatest ally in our quest to become something more than what we currently are. So seek it out. Go beyond what you can currently do and who you […]
The Value in Being Uncomfortable
A handful of years ago – excuse the lack of preciseness, dates aren’t my strong suit – I hopped on a plane on down to Key West, Florida, to partake in a mastermind group with guys who were thriving in the business world. I’d been invited by a good friend who knew I was flirting […]
A No B.S. Guide to Developing Real Confidence
I remember my last fight vividly. I was at ease. I’d taken the fight on short notice with a kid that had come up from Oregon or somewhere along the coastal U.S. of A., and even though I found out he was a southpaw only minutes before the fight, I was at ease. There was […]
5 Models of Manliness: How to Acquire the Virtues of Manliness
Hopefully we’ve all seen the Denzel flick, American Gangster. It’s a good film. One line in it, though, has stuck with me more than any other. In an attempt to spread some wisdom to his nephew who’s hanging around with the wrong guys and focusing on the wrong things, Denzel’s character brilliantly says, The loudest […]
Grit & Gameness: How to Be Good at Being a Man
It seems that our society is hell bent on teaching goodness and equality and fairness without putting much thought into the values and virtues that make greatness. Rewarding based on participation rather than merit does more damage than good. Creating an artificial, level playing field removes initiative and reward for going above and beyond. Trying […]
The Pussification of the West
While there is debate as to whether or not our modern society is “better” than those in the past, there’s little debate that our society is weaker. Our weakness shows in our entitled view of how the world works with us at its center. It’s seen in our seeming inability to recognize that evil exists […]
