Being A Man

Being A Man

It all boils down to being a man. It's about coming to the realization that you'll never be a man if you're constantly hiding and escaping into a false world. A real man deals with boredom and downtime the right way, where he turns to spirituality and being active in the mind and body. A real man is a patient man, where he deals with life's uncomfortable times with confidence and ease. A real man is a helpful man, where he offers assistance to his family members at all times, and is reliable when called upon. A real man is an active man, where he's constantly working and keeping busy. A real man isn't afraid to work, and when he goes to work, he does so clear, free from all addictive substances. A real man is active physically, where he works at keeping himself fit and strong so he can handle all of life's physical labors with boldness and character. Being a man is what it takes to overcome addiction. I think so many just get caught up in the Dragons big lie, in which they forget what it's like to be a man. They get trapped in a selfish way of thinking, causing them to forget what this life is really all about. This life isn't all about escaping; this life is all about feeling, and then dealing with life's hardships like a man. This life is all about having learning experiences through adversity, and then growing as human beings as we deal with that adversity with clarity and poise.  We don't learn when we are clouded. The Dragon would love us to stay clouded our entire life, because then He knows that we will have no opportunity whatsoever to make a difference in this world. The Dragon and his legions want nothing more then for us to remain in a state of numbness. He wants nothing more then for us to remain in His dark world, never fully understanding what our purpose in this life truly is.Stand up and be a man. Stand up and be a father - husband. There is so much more to life than escapes and quick fixes. The Invisible Hands way is the lasting way; His is the lasting path to true and eternal happiness. The Invisible Hand will lead you towards becoming a real man, a God fearing man - who's decisions are made based on his values, and also his understanding concerning the Invisible Hands laws. The Invisible Hand will lead you to patience, humility, confidence, and strength. His way is the righteous way; He will make you an instrument in his hands, where He'll work through you in changing the hearts of men. Now instead of just floating through life, His way will give you a purpose; this purpose being to help lead people back on His path, and towards true happiness. Now instead of wandering, you are now determined to assist in His work, for His work is the good work. His work is the light work, where through Him your burdens can be lifted, and strength can be gained; a strength that you have never known; a strength that can only come from the Invisible Hand.-Hawk
