The journey to be a self improving, self made man is one every single one of us embarks on. The journey starts by learning foundational knowledge, lessons, and skills as young boys that will guide us to grow into young men that begin to take on the world. The lessons you learned, the tools you acquired, the actions you observed from others, and the environment of your childhood all act as your playing cards in the game of life. And as you move forward in this game, your skill level begins with how you use that knowledge and experience from your youth.

The self improving man has the awareness that life doesn’t revolve around him, but it starts with him. He emphasizes doing things right when no one is watching. He decides to be the better human being when most won’t. The decisions to do things today that prepare him for tomorrow embodies his nature of delaying gratification. He’s understands that those decisions to eat better, train harder, learn more, and lead courageously don’t stop at him, they impact his family, his friends, and those that look up to him.

The journey to be a self improving man is uncomfortable, unorthodox, and unconventional. The path changes over time and so do we. There are times to go all in and risk it all, and there are times to strategically manage the chaos. Times to push and times to recover. But, those that choose to pursue down the path find the untapped power and potential they’ve always wanted. The intangible qualities you’ve always known you needed like resiliency and mental fortitude are acquired by the day in day out consistency of becoming the best version of you at this stage of your life.

When the world gets dark, be the light for those looking for guidance. When the world is bright, do the things most won’t do to continue sharpening the saw.

AVOID AVERAGE, SET YOUR STANDARD, AND FIND YOUR FLOW.
