It’s a question every man should be consistently asking himself and answering with the commitment of his word and life.
⠀
Are you a man worth following?
Are you confident in the model you’re setting for your children?
⠀
Would you choose yourself as the man they follow?
⠀
Your spouse?
Extended family?
⠀
What about your block? The parents of your childrens classmates?
⠀
Are you the obvious choice they look to if things suddenly fall apart?
⠀
Do you have a plan?
Do you have a daily regimen of action?
Physically capable to protect yourself and those around you?
Emotionally resilient to think critically in high-stress to make wise choices?
Unapologetic in your capacity to do whatever it takes ensure order?
⠀
Is YOUR house in order?
⠀
Who are you?
What do you stand for?
What do your habits say you stand for?
⠀
Are you respected?
Do you even respect yourself?
⠀
Show me your habits, targets and results and I’ll give you the answer.
⠀
This is the frame of our daily mantra:
What needs to die in me to become the man I said I’d be?
⠀
Not just for us.
⠀
For our children.
For our communities.
For our churches.
For our cities.
For our states.
For our country.
For this world.
⠀
If the King in you refuses to rise, your kingdom will most certainly die.
⠀
I’d have you consider that your lack of fulfillment, joy and confidence is directly related to your inability to confront the constraints of the “nice guy” you’ve conformed to.
⠀
A man fails himself when he settles for less than what he can be and relinquishes his masculinity to the masses of the mainstream.
⠀
Our sons are watching.
Our daughters are watching.
The world is waiting.
⠀
Get yourself in order.
Get your house in order.
⠀
This is on us, men.
