BecomeBetter






How do we as  men become better? Does one acquire more materialistic wealth are Is it a simple matter of obtaining a degree? Will a man become better by securing more friendships...... some may say all of tha above and to be honest it may indeed contribute to self-development, but what tha evidence shows is that tha desire to improve one’s self begins as an inside job.It begins with a shift in one’s attitude. Our attitude can become a roadblock that ultimately stands between us and tha freedom we desire. So what’s tha proper attitude one must adopt to bring that freedom into fruition......are three attitudes, among many, we must assume on tha road to becoming a better man.

Attitude#One

Let not let us allow our Past Prison us
Okai...for most of us, our past is a prison cell you can even add me in that. Tha tragedy is that someone else holds tha key to release us. What we don’t understand is that person is us and it’s not that we don’t want to leave our self-imposed ‘solitary confinement’, but rather we have unwittingly allowed others tha power to keep us there. Think about it almost daily, someone reminds you of a mistake you made, a blunder you committed in your past. Someone reminds you that you have a record; that you messed up a long time ago. It’s time for your to declare your personal emancipation proclamation! It’s time to move forward forgetting those which are behind and reaching forward to tha things which are ahead

Attitude#Two

Walks Purposely Toward your Fears

Tha ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge of controversy. How many people today are paralyzed by their fears and have put their dreams on hold because they feared tha outcome A man who endeavors to be better is a man who is unafraid of change and tha challenges change inevitably breeds. In short, he does fear his fears. When you walk with purpose and in your purpose, you have nothing to fear. You’ve subscribed to something bigger than you and you intuitively understand that you walk by faith, and not by sight. In tha end, it’s what’s in you that will propel you toward and beyond your greatest fear......

Attitude#Three

Nurtures your Body, Mind and Spirit

Say what you won't but tha man who wills to be better understands and accepts that his existence is much more than physical, but that his experience is intertwined with his mental and spiritual well-being, too. As such, he determines to ensure his well-being through physical fitness, mental clarity and spiritual renewal Tha tru  meaning of lyfe must be sought through a holistic experience. This is a spiritual discipline and it prepares a man to assume his daily responsibilities with a sense of purpose. With this discipline, we transform adversity into success; we smash fear to pieces, and we assume an ‘I can do’ attitude toward our challenges.With this discipline, we sweat ten minutes a day at minimum; we write and recite affirmations and we spend time alone in meditation or silence. It’s not a religious practice, it’s not a denominational protocol – it’s a way of lyfe.
