Project List: “Be A Man”

  • Normal life as a “given”. Daily routine of all essentials: mastered at a young age. Backsliding on this? Don’t miss a beat, get directly back on it.
  • Respect for the muscular, in ideology, in body, in strength of mind, ideas, and very importantly: willpower.
  • Consistency as a highly valuable characteristic and asset.
  • Be a gentleman, instilled with the power and faith of God.
  • Be a gentleman at all times when possible, keep a metaphorical edge, like a familiar pocketknife. Keep it clean, keep it sharp, know how and when to use it.
  • Don’t just favour the reliable, but embody it also. Strengthen in this regard, at all times of insight.
  • Take note when your perception is flying at full mast: high, keen, and eagle-eyed. There are certain peaks one can attune to, and map, in this regard. Very useful.
  • Developing a disregard and compulsion away from childishness and maintain a healthy ongoing battle with the frivolous.
  • Pay back the world that gave you freedom, with consistency, honesty to yourself, core truths to keep growing new layers around.
  • Recognizing the strive to excellence and mastery of any given topic is both natural, helpful, and fits beautifully within a normal life.
  • That normal life, you can both make a model of “common ground” with prominent male figures globally – such as influencers, politicians, and successful men of yesteryear.
  • These men of antiquity make wonderful blueprints of working success in the field of self improvement.
    • Not just that, but an application of lives like this, helps to cultivate an organic framework that quickly becomes second nature – as though there was a space meant for it ready and waiting to become programmed. This space is most likely an area where a type of behavioural code could be programmed, be it of nation, zeitgeist, or overall, culture.
  • Win your little battles and dismissal of the juvenile at all times. Stay on it, stay vigilant, trust your instinct! If a moment, activity, or situation, object or utility (the list goes on), seems overly “juvenile” or immature to you, just leave it to rest.
  • Integrate with men, and do so with moral integrity. As “know thyself” is a given as the one step up toward the front door of an awakened life, this part is personal for everyone.
    • Learn your way, its effect on others, and adjust, and both interact, and leave space, where appropriate.
