Play the man - pursuing purpose, direction, balance and impact

Don’t rant. Don’t rave. You don't have to throw your weight around. Don’t domineer. Play the man, instead.
Play the man instead.
There are four basic universal functions that every man should pursue. You may want to look at it as a masculinity blueprint: you the king, you the warrior, you the mentor and you the friend.
These four functions are deeply embedded in the term ‘play the man’.
Side stepping the temptation of being a tyrant, and instead taking the humble route of servanthood, is kingship.
Being determined not to be a brute, builds a warrior who is tender!
Refusing to be a "no know it all’, and instead taking the higher but difficult road of wisdom, characterizes mentorship.
The mark of friendship is going beyond acquaintancy, and saying no to betrayal.
The journey to successful manhood is when these four functions are in balance. Resulting to your security and significance.
This journey is long term, and requires your time and undivided commitment.
If you are serious about this, reach out to me or an elder man.
Happy trails. Good luck. Godspeed.
