Though, I am only mortal. My heart and flesh, predestined. I'll not stop, until I've fought my way to my redemption. I have so many questions, and only bland suggestions. Vacant answers, and impressions; ascertained from vague reflections. I've strained the pained perspective in stride towards acceptance - failed the try and tried again - finding madness was the method. An insanity of wasted efforts decimates progression. Leaves a mind, needing healing, to be pieced back together. Great depressions grant frustrations, paid in deeper contemplations. There's no escaping the pace of a hunger, never sated. How do I satiate the appetites of habits I've created, when I am venturing the hopeful road to my salvation? I have no destination. Determined? Yes, I think so, maybe. I have estimations; philosophies and proclamations; hopes and aspirations, but, I'm still learning what I'm made of. I have limitations, vulnerabilities, infatuations, complications that keep me chained up in habituations. Can I change pace and trade place with new graces? Struggle on the grind with haste, no time wasted? Fulfil the aspirations that I have been chasing? I don't know. I won't know until I choose growth. Choose life. Choose hope, and do my best to keep composed.

I’m a woman and I’m 8/10. Whew. I instantly start checking for my partner as well and he’s literally the 10/10. Now I know we are all human and will struggle and have our issues. But WE HAVE THE POWER TO DETERMINE THE PEOPLE WE WANT TO BE INSIDE AND OUT. While I’m taking small steps and pushing to change, he sees no error in his ways. I don’t want to dog him out or make him feel less than but I do think he needs to work on him self now or he may end up walking around like this til the end. 😢

There’s a balance to most of these. You can’t have them all in excess because that will be just as worse. you need to find middle ground. We all need to release emotions, hiding them for the sake of masculinity will lead to inner frustration, depression and toxicity. Seeking approval for example is a big drive and motivating for many but constantly seeking approval is bad. For some men this video could be helpful but for other men they need the opposite of something like this.
I find meaning in every experience in life weather it it is bad or Good what a treasure inn my heart so apparently appreciated that I aminth right frame of mind I was always different in my way of thinking I thought I was insane but I was very brilliant. ❤
Wow, sad these men need to let go and be men of integrity.Stop falling the crowds and follow their heart and own and options life is to short stand up and be your own man.❤
I’ve got all 10, have been trying my best to be a stoic for over a year now, it’s a long journey. I’m hoping once I can make it 90 days no fap a few of these will go away.
You didn’t ask me but…remove ‘trying’ and ‘hoping’ from your mindset as it relates to yourself. I AM a stoic man. The longer you ‘try’ and ‘hope’, the further away you will be from realization. Affirm and manifest in the positive I AM a stoic man I say yes to myself I take responsibility for my actions I AM a victor
The most stressful part of being a better man is the fact that there literally a mind game being played. That in it self will stress you out but if you don't learn the game you lose! It's almost like being in a psychological prison, what a bummer!
There’s work to do fellas…I want to encourage yall to forgive who you were before the desire to change and what you knew became so strong you couldn’t ignore it and went for the change …nothing wrong from starting from experience and building on your small wins within. We have to be accountable which may seem hard but as men we gotta become…I wish all of you a great journey! This life ain’t for the weak!
