“The mark of a real man is
a man who chooses to do the harder thing for the greater good.” -Matt Walsh.
Growing up, I frequently
pondered what it means to be a real man. Does it mean being surrounded by
beautiful women who cling to your every word? Does it mean having power? Does
it mean being financially independent so you can pursue your every desire?
Hardly.
Sacrifice. That is what
makes a man a real man. Men who spend their lives pursuing illicit sex,
fame, money, and power for their own sakes are not real men. They are
overgrown children. The easy path is to be promiscuous. The easy path is to
pursue wealth for its own sake. The easy path is not having a wife and children
depending on you and only concerning yourself with yourself. If you still
disagree with me, ask yourself this question. How does pursuing the things
mentioned in this paragraph better those around you? Does it help your country?
Does it help your community? Does it help your family?
The call to action is
this: build yourself up into a person who has the capacity to serve a cause
greater than yourself. Take care of your health. If you have unresolved trauma,
see a therapist and a spiritual leader. Develop a skill that will support
yourself financially. Develop the confidence in yourself to talk to women so
you can find a wife. Confidence is not based on your perception of yourself. It
is based upon stacks of wins in your life that prove to yourself you are
capable of doing what you say you are going to do. You have the ability and the
potential; now get to work!
