The Danger of Abandoned Masculinity

What happens when we live scared of our own energy? — What are we trying to do here? That’s not rhetorical, and it’s not to mock people’s good intentions. Unless I should be skeptical of those good intentions. What are we trying to populate? Why are we asking men AND women to abandon their characteristic strengths for the sake of showmanship…

Your Second Life starts at The Resistance

The greatest secret to any new life is built in facing the inner Demon — Are you dreaming? How often do you see yourself somewhere else? Does it warm the center of you, even when you’re centered in a cold, dark world? But more importantly… How much closer are you than you were yesterday? Last month? Last year? What if you knew exactly why your…

I Dare You to Love All Your Ex’s

Do you appreciate the love that you’ve received? — Love is like peanut butter and five-berry jam on protein pancakes when you’ve been good eating your chicken and greens and avocado all week. Love is like a late night bowl of two servings of Samyang Hot Chicken Ramen when you haven’t eaten for 16 full hours. Love is like…a…

To the Men Who are Hardening Their Masculinity

Build a Foundation with these Five Things that will Help maintain Your Resolve. — I root for strong men. Epically strong men. Men who sacrifice, who set aside clouding emotions when disaster strikes, who stand up boldly against unfair odds, who face criticism and reprimand when acting on what they know is right. It doesn’t matter whether you see strong men the same way…

Are We Ever at Peace With Ourselves?

Does external Chaos reign because of a lack of internal Peace? — Fact: The world is potential chaos. Its an unpredictable world. It’s supposed to be. The unpredictability is the challenge. It’s what continually makes us better at what we do: Being obnoxiously creative, amazing humans. But even in a world of potential chaos…order tames its volatility. The world demands balance… Always. …

The True Way to Feed a Man’s Soul

Men…here is your antidote. — Believe it or not, the way to a man’s heart isn’t through a perfect steak or naughty bedroom pleasures. Sorry ladies. Food and sex are the supplement, not the meal. What us men truly need can’t be provided by you. As for so many things, some can only be provided…

Death: The One True God?

Is there anything more true than death? — No, I’m not trying to sway your beliefs or discredit your god or gods. Or am I? … We can believe in God(s) entirely, but can we prove he/they exist? We can believe in heaven and hell, but are they real? We can believe in reincarnation, but how would we…

Fish Out of Water Theory

A short of what it feels like to be “banked” — I’ve spoke about the “middle ground” before. It’s a life sucking hostile place to be. It’s that cold, seemingly desolate place where the momentum has yet to hit, where we suffer from insecurity the most, and where we’re most often pulled between two different identities…the old, caged, reluctant version of…
