The Starting Line – Getting on the track #tuesdaytruth

Manhood is often assumed in our culture. Rites of passage once held sacred, have been replaced by the wrong things. It’s time that we reset our cleats on the track of manhood, and start the race right. This month, we’re examining what it means to be a man, and to run the race of manhood.

It’s so easy sometimes to get derailed. One candy bar, and that strict eating plan gets thrown out the window. A short skirted co-worker bends over to pick up a paperclip, and your mind heads down a path it never should. One negative word from your wife, and all the progress you’ve made at controlling your own language is tossed out the window.

How do we get back on track once we’ve been derailed? How do we move forward when we’ve lost our momentum?

The answer is simple. Forgive yourself for your screw up. Seek forgiveness from anyone you’ve hurt (including the men who are holding you accountable.) Then move forward. If the forgiveness is done – then don’t look back. Don’t bring it up. Don’t let it derail you any longer. Move forward.

You can do this. Whatever race you are running, it matters. If you are a better man, the world is a better place. Your place in it matters. So don’t let your own failures keep you from that.

The Starting Line – How to START running the race of manhood

If we’re looking at the start of the race – it may be too late for many of us. We may or may not have had a defining moment, when our father passed along his mantle, or the elders bestowed the title of man on us. Chances are, we just grew up, moved out, and assumed we were men. Without fanfare, and quite possibly, without any idea of what it really means to be one.

We may in fact, BE men, but I think it’s important to note that identifying as a man, and BEING a man are not the same thing. You may be lacking in honor, in work ethic, in integrity, in strength, in confidence. These things don’t exempt you from manhood, but I think they are identifiers that we have a hurdle we must jump over.

If we want to START the race – we need to make the choice, and just do it This is our starting pistol, and we are going to start running.

Let’s evaluate our lives, asking the hard questions, and demanding answers of ourselves. Let’s make a choice to tackle those issues, and rise up to the challenge set before us.
Declare it with me – TODAY – AND FROM THIS DAY FORWARD. I WILL BE A MAN, IN THE FULLEST SENSE. I WILL NOT ALLOW MY EXCUSES AND MY SHORTCOMINGS TO DOMINATE MY LIFE. I WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR GOOD IN THE LIVES OF THOSE AROUND ME. I WILL NOT BOW TO THE PRESSURES AND TEMPTATIONS OF THIS LIFE. I WILL LIVE A LIFE OF HONOR, INTEGRITY, AND DISCIPLINE.
