National Missing Children’s Day
It’s definitely not a holiday for celebration… it’s a day to be aware.
Men, keep your eyes open for things that are suspicious. Take action when needed.
We are men of action, and men of resolve. This shouldn’t be happening on our watch!

The Best Summer Ever: Not just FUN – but GROWTH
What if you could have the best summer ever? The kind of summer that your family or friends will remember for the rest of their lives! Want to make it happen? Of Course you do. This month, we’ll explore some things that will help make your summer the best ever.
Fun is important. Leisure is important. They are often like a drink of a lemonade after mowing the lawn – refreshing and energizing.
But let’s make our summer about even more… let’s look at how we plan to grow!
Make a personal growth plan for the summer.
What books will you read?
What conferences or seminars will you attend?
What podcasts will you listen to?
What skills do you need to develop or hone?
Take some time not only to identify these things, but to make some goals for yourself.
Summer really is a great time to sit on a hammock in the evening and read a book – or to pop in a podcast on a summer drive.
Maybe your summer involves a physical fitness routine, or practice schedule for some skill you need to whip into shape.
Is a Hypothesis a Reality?
Hi fellas, I hope you are having an incredible Friday the 13th! I am extremely excited about posting here. I hope this helps your “manliness” like it has mine over the years.
I am looking back 10 years ago at my life. I was NOT confident by any stretch of the imagination. I knew I was good looking, but dated sparingly. I made up excuses when it came to women like “oh, she only likes jerks” or “She would never like a guy like me because…” CONSTANTLY lying to myself, I achieved mediocre results.
Truth be told – I wasn’t wired to want random sex. I wasn’t wired to just want to attract one night stands. I wanted to attract beautiful women to have conversation with and REALLY get to know what makes them tick. I wanted to find a woman that I could do nothing without – that made me a better man everyday. Luckily for me, I found her – and I can tell you I would have NEVER attracted her had I not learned the skills I needed in order to attract her. She even admits that I was right. It is basic people skills fundamentals. The first step is to stop making Hypothesis a reality.
What am I saying?
You make up excuses for the real issues under the surface. Your not confident enough, or lack knowledge in given areas so that scares you to saying “She would never be into me.”
Come on lets face it – thats it. Ignorance and lack of action steps.
Instead of learning about what women love and want in order to start a random conversation with “Hot Girl you like” – you just say “oh she will never like someone like me.” Accepting the mediocrity in your life and not getting what you want – “Hot girl” I start a new hypothesis – what happens if you walked up to her and said – “hey, ummm, this might be weird, but I just wanted to say that I noticed you were wearing (brand of shoes, make up, whatever) and I just wanted to say it smells/looks incredible.
Even if she says she isnt wearing that – the door is open for conversation. I just proved your hypothesis that women “that hot” would never talk to you to be crap. Any other excuses? You just need to study for things you want in love and life.
Stop accepting mediocrity – that is not the manly thing to do. Men see challenges – then make adjustments to achieve goals.
Until next time!

The Best Summer Ever: Make a Schedule
What if you could have the best summer ever? The kind of summer that your family or friends will remember for the rest of their lives! Want to make it happen? Of Course you do. This month, we’ll explore some things that will help make your summer the best ever.
Now that you have a list, you’ve got to do some scheduling. Hopefully you use a planner or calendar app, and sync it with your family, so you can all be organized in general – but if not – maybe this is a good time to start!
I’ve found that scheduling things like leisure may seem a little silly, but it helps make sure that it happens.
Identify the list items that are good for those spontaneous pickup moments – but make it a point to schedule the ones that require a little more planning and forethought.
You may not have the same leisurely summers of your youth – without care or responsibility – so you may have to schedule around your work – and that’s perfectly acceptable. Just make sure that you DO find time for adventure, leisure, and fun.
Happy Mother’s Day
DO NOT FORGET TO CALL YOUR MOM TODAY!!!!!!
Also don’t forget to honor the mother of your children today – make sure THEY do it as well. Help them out!
I guarantee that it matters a lot.
National Day of Prayer
Today is a day when those of us who do pray unite together to pray for our nation, communities, and families.
If you do pray, great!
If it’s not something you normally do – maybe today is a good day to give it a try!
The Best Summer Ever: Make a List
What if you could have the best summer ever? The kind of summer that your family or friends will remember for the rest of their lives! Want to make it happen? Of Course you do. This month, we’ll explore some things that will help make your summer the best ever.
For the past few years, we’ve done something exciting around our house. We make a “Summer Adventure List” and we list off all of the things that we want to do together.
For example:
See the Kinzua Bridge
Visit NYC
Swim at Willow Bay
Go Camping Three Times
Picnic with the Lowmans
Hike Through Abandoned Rail Tunnel
Eat a Wild Animal
Jump off a Bridge
Play Softball Game With Friends
Visit the Coudersport Ice Mine
This of course, is an abbreviated version of our list. And sometimes, we get to cross them all of, and sometimes we don’t!
Look for local attractions that are free or low cost – museums, parks, swimming holes, BBQ joints. Don’t be afraid to put something ambitious that might cost a little more and require a little advanced planning and saving. Make sure to include people that you want to connect with!
Think of it like a “Bucket List” – but the shelf-life on this is three months.
Add the little AND the big things that you want to accomplish, and start planning!
Don’t be afraid if you can’t check them all off. But having a list helps get you excited about the summer, and allows you to make a plan.
