Be strong and courageous for the Lord is with you wherever you go. Faith makes fear illogical, but fear makes little sense no matter what you believe. Fear is usually fear of the unknown. The solution: know, then decide if you’re still scared. (Read This: Let Fear Be Your Guide) Fear also impedes life. We […]
We’re Teaching Our Boys to Be Victims
A coward can run, or he can simply look the other way. ~Chad Howse [Tweet “A coward can run, or he can simply look the other way.”] It is just as bad to do nothing as it is to flee from your responsibilities, and as a man your responsibility is to defend. Evil exists. It’s […]
STOP BEING SUCH A LITTLE BITCH
When you complain about not having what you want but won’t work to get it, you are a little bitch. ~Chad Howse [Tweet “When you complain about not having what you want but won’t work to get it, you are a little bitch.”] Our avenues to vent are far too many today. Instead of having […]
Life Is One Big Status Quo
Don’t simply accept the status quo if it doesn’t fit your standards. ~Chad Howse You’re surrounded by losers. You’re supposed to share the victim mentality that they live with. You’re supposed to complain and give half-assed effort. But that isn’t you, so you don’t. (Read This: 10 Ways to Go From Victim to Victory) You […]
Labor and Painful Effort: The Key to Becoming a Better Man
I love this quote from Theodore Roosevelt… It is only through labor and painful effort, by grim energy and resolute courage, that we move on to better things. [Tweet “”It is only through labor and painful effort, by grim energy and resolute courage, that we move on to better things.” ~T.R.”] You have to remember […]
Don’t Set Another Goal Until You Read This
The idea of reasonable goals is a horrible one. To set a goal that you know you can accomplish with hard work and persistence cannot bring you to become the man you’re actually capable of becoming, nor will they get your business to where it can be, nor will they get your life at par […]
Man Up! Episode 17: Control Only What You Can
We have a funny relationship with control. We aim to control what we can’t control, even getting depressed about this inability to control it, and we fail to control what is firmly within our ability to control because we’re either scared or lazy. A few truths I talk about in the latest episode: Laziness has […]
Can Men Still Become Great?
Can greatness be defined in the present? Did Cook’s men understand the gravity of the man guiding them? Did Teddy’s friends understand just who it was that led them into battle in Cuba? Did Christ’s followers, though believers, genuinely understand that they were in the midst of true greatness? In each case I’d say there […]
Why Dreaming Is So Important
I’ve opened the pages of another book. Having just finished Tuesday’s With Morrie, a wonderful read that puts our intentions and aspirations into perspective, I wanted a book that will fill another aspect of the man I want to become. The other day I posed you do the exercise. The focus is simple, dictate who […]
Find Your Potential First By Identifying It
When we set goals or expectations we start with the what, but rarely do we consider the who. We identify what it is we want to accomplish or gain or acquire, but forget to determine who the man is that we want to become. We leave our most important and precious goal, blank. And few […]
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 […]
5 Ways You’re Being Willingly Emasculated
The other day I was at the gym and there was a fella bulling up as if he’d stuffed two bread loaves under his arm pits. The term to diagnose this kind of behavior is “imaginary lat syndrome”, or ILS. It’s bad enough on its own to walk around as if your lats prevent 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 […]
4 Modern Mantras I Have a Big Problem With
We tend to look at our predecessors and ancestors as ignorant or less fortunate and archaic because of what they didn’t have access to back then. We see the settlers of our nations not as above us, people to aspire toward, but men who laid the foundation so that we could be so evolved. Many […]
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 […]
