from boyhood to manhood: the mindset that changed everything

God bless you. Become a purpose driven member today: ru-vid.com/show-UCf8gbZ4ZyNcc9WIOOEEfpSQjoin To my purpose driven brothers, this channel is for you. My name is Malique, I was born in Miami, and I'm 22 years old. None of that matters though, what matters is that we become 1% better each day and that we stay on our purpose. As I look around in the world many men drift like Napoleon Hill suggests, they drift away from their goals, dreams, and God given purpose. This channel is to help us men become non drifters, in other words help us become purposeful, disciplined, and truly masculine men. Expect multiple uploads a week to help you self improve.

Leaving my comment here so that every likes can bring me back here and remind myself

“As a man, your biggest motivation is your future”. That statement hit deep because it’s so true for me. There’s light at the end of the tunnel just keep at it brothers

23 years old (currently) when I realized I needed to be a man. Jumping job to job since 18. Living check to check at my parents house where I wasn’t charged rent so no real pressure on me. Driving the car my parents gave me, then when the insurance ran out I just drove my girls car. Then Living at my girls house for half a year. I one day looked at myself in the mirror & realized I was a loser. I got me a legit career job in sales and told myself ima get a car and my own place. That was 2 months ago. I just got my new car. Apartment is next.

May the person watching this be surrounded by positive energy. God bless our souls.

No cuts, no acting just talking straight from the heart. love to see there's still good people.

I'm 20 years old, I'm Brazilian and i live in ireland, i took up residence in this country 6 months ago, I've been through a lot, i have seen a lot, i have learned a lot, but there's still a long way to go, i lost my job and i don't have money to pay rent, but nobody cares, nobody cares because everyone's got their own problems, watching this video made me realize that, watching this video made me realized that I'm still a boy, but it's time to man up, I'm going to make it, I'm going to thrive and be happy, so will you, so will us all. Thank you everyone who took the time to read this! Wish me luck on my journey

We need more like you. Not just black men or white men. Not just Christian men or theist men. We need GOOD men. Men who understand the fact that every circumstance is different, and that at the end of the day, no matter your roots, race, or religion, a man makes himself, and a man is only as good as his word and manners. How he treats others is simply a reflection of the man.

I realised i was a man when I was 20, I realised that no one is going to rescue me, one of the loneliest days of my life, but at the same time one of the real ones. Thanks for doing this videos dog, keep preaching the word, respect.

“the you of tomorrow is watching”

I’m 25 man and this shit is speaking to me. Can’t tell you how many times I fell down the dark path, and came back. I’m finding myself listening to this and I’m seeing hope again. I have a purpose, and it’s to better myself to be the best man possible

“If we taking care of everybody else, but we never take care of ourselves, then nothing really gets done”

I’m 20 and been smoking for the past 3 years daily, commenting this to manifest my change. Time to level up and chases the future, time to take responsibility, time to become a man.

everyday on the stairmaster listening to this. this is my motivation, my affirmation for the day. there will never be another may 3, 2024. thank you bro

Mehn I don’t normally write comments on RU-vid especially about my feelings but truthfully I hate my self so much. Growing up I was a very ambitious person, I was so driven. I always planned out my future, my dream physique, my business… I was a hussler but I always failed to stick to my plan. I lack consistency and discipline. Now I found my self at my lowest drained in regrets. I’m turning 22 in 4 months and i am at my lowest point financially mentally physically…let alone be where I want to be. It hurts! To whomever seeing this, please stick to your plans. Please be active. Please work on your goals. Cause trust me it hurts. Don’t fall for temptation please boys. Trust me, let my life be a lesson for you all!

im 18 took a year of age after I finished school bro i live with my mother and she is the provider in the family I came across this video, never had my father in my life like that but that aint no excuse, thank you for this video and opening my eyes to the world ive been lost but everything u said is truth nobody really cares until you becoming something thank you bro for opening my eyes i have to becoming a man for my future children.

I'm 35 and I've been living like a child for too long not taking proper responsibility for myself. I needed this video, respect.

POSITIVE MASCULINITY!!💪🏾 Im rooting for every man watching this. 🖤💞

Bro is testosterone 🔥🔥🔥😤

"It's Yaweh and your way"❤.

I’m 19 and keep having problems with finding purpose and keep falling into bad habits and decisions. Today I reached a breaking point and stumbled across this video. Man you are right on every single account. I kept playing victim and was avoiding accountability. Thank you. This video hit me right where it needed to. Need more guys like you preaching the truth. I know a lot of other people watching this video feel the same way.

Older woman here and new sub- because I like to support channels like yours. My great grandmother, wisest woman I knew, warned me when I was 13 that some men never grow up. That confused me because the men around me, in my family, worked about as hard in the house as the women. I remember my big grandfather, played for the Steelers back in the leather helmet days, sweating over the vacuum on stairs, planting trees, doing dishes & laundry- right alongside my grandmother. My father was the same. Women in the family all worked or had their own businesses. It wasn't until I was in my 20's and started seeing these 'man boys' out in the world that I understood what she meant.

As a late bloomer facing reality checks everyday, this shit hits heavy. Raised by women that repelled men that were trying to guide me. Finally found my words to say enough is enough.... have myself a 15yrs window

YOU ARE ALLOWED TO DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO!!! NOT IN THE NEGATIVE WAY (ATTENTION SEEKING) BUT IN THE POSITIVE WAY (CREATION)

"No one's going to tap you on the shoulder and tell you, 'Let's Go'" if you know you know but I felt that

I don't care how old u are. If you are five years old and can comprehend anything from this video don't take it for granted. It took a man to even speak on this let alone record and upload it. Bro literally a profit right now and right on time frfr.. every male in the word needs to hear this today! Pass this around...

I've started business from a very young age (16) I've had successful businesses that made thousands in profit every month, but I've also made some really stupid mistakes, poor investments etc. I've lost everything and then fought to make it back, again and again. But I've still kept fighting for a better future for myself and my family. I've poured every single last cent, blood and tears into my businesses... Sometimes i just ask myself how different would life be if I just worked a normal job and saved up. I've worked so hard and made so much sacrifices, yet have so little to show for. Life is tough as a man. I'm currently 21 this year and I really hope things can change for the better. If you're reading this and you're on the road to a better future, then i pray things get easy for you and that you make it! God bless!

Our purpose in this life is to worship God.

Thinking for self is one of the best assets of a man

wise words man, thank u. I'm 27 yrs old and yet I dont feel like a man even though I have a job where I am the leader of a big team, live by myself in a good rented house, but I gotta tell y'all, being a man is a lot more than just being able to support yourself. The most important part is being able to take accountability of the mistakes you make, and then grow from it, being able to be disciplined and a lot more. I know I'm not there yet and none of you need to put an act of being a man. That are A LOT of 30 + yrs old that doesnt feel like they are real men cause it is not just about materialistic things, everybody can get money. Im trying to work on myself to be able to mature within myself so I can help my parents and my brothers and I feel that this is a long jorney that isnt defined by age. btw I feel happy that you are only 22 and already feel like that, our community lacks so much of this, most of us grew without fathers cause they were'nt real men.

4 months ago I lost my grandma. 3 months ago I lost my father. 2 months ago my daughter was born. I was so confident in anticipating my child and welcome her into the world knowing that I had a great family to support my journey of fatherhood. but then it all happened. I was hit with a reality check that nothing lasts forever. And that eventually I will have to bear it all.

I always blamed my Dad for not being there, I just turned 21 this year and nothing changed since last year the emptiness, the Loneliness all of it stayed the same. I need change and I need to be that change, this is exactly the Reality check I needed, Now it's up to me to make a difference in my life. Thank you Brother❤️

I’m 18 man, I just moved from South Africa to the UK alone. It’s never felt so lonely man, taking care of myself and adjusting. But ima keep pushing cause if I don’t who will for me

6:23 “when you become somebody which you already are all you doing is stepping into your greatness” this stuck out and hit not every other day you here this, i just turned 20 yrs old two days ago so this is definitely a video that i needed to see this so thank you

Thing is, part of going from being a boy to a man, is also becoming THE man for those around you... It's that part that's difficult, and often you can't simply do what you want to do.

This man is one of the only men,who is being genuine with their content

Don't take it weirdly, but you are the wisest black man I have ever heard.

Pain into purposeful passion! Well said. The journey from prince to emperor with the guidance and instruction from The Most High!

With this mindset at your age you’re going to go very very far in life. Keep going man

“Part of being a man is figuring it out” Daamn you gave me goosebumps brother ❤️

Man I am beyond grateful for this video to pop up on my fyp. God bless all of you man out there turning up everyday, for others but most importantly for themselves.

I’m 26 and at crossroads. I stay home to help out with the family especially finances. Dad’s retired and didn’t plan that part well. Mom’s shouldering the most but she’s getting tired and I have to do more. I feel like I can do more leaving home but it feels like a lot taking that step. I just need peace of mind to figure this.

“Time alone allows you to find god, and discover who he is” Kevin levrone

One thing I learned and this came from my aunt a female and this isn’t just for men, but every adult needs to have a daily routine that includes goals and responsibilities to meet !

a man should always put God First And God Will give u strength and wisdom

Up in the mountains in my head. Needed this man

I need more friends like you bro. Love the mindset. This real fucking shit thru and thru.

You’re the best! , I don’t wait for nobody! , smiling in the worst moments! Choose pain of discipline!

Appreciate it Mailque Needed this

I’m 22 too, just graduated college and i’m going through the similar changes. Thank you for sharing your perspective, it is a real feeling.

We gotta choose which struggles we're willing to go through fr. Thank you for the talk man we're all gonna climb up this life💯

Enter the NOW FROM HERE let go, let God & put in the work!

This was the video I wasn’t searching but came to me when I needed the most, thanks man

facts im 24 i realized it late but not too late you cant blame nobody else for your situation but yourself

Seeing this a week before my 21st birthday. Been through so much and not sure what my path is… you’ve made me realise I have to create it and show up everyday. I have to turn it all around.

i appreciate this bro fr im not even halfway through the vid and its hitting me hard i really appreciate this man

I’m glad this showed up on my feed 🙏🏼

Bro you sended me the right vibes to go through life thanks ❤

First time I ever commented on a RU-vid video and let me say that I never thought somebody really could speak on what I think. Great words brotha, stay strong n go make it happen 💯

more than a constant reminder ... best life briefing ever ...

Honestly this hit hard, I turned 20 in january and i still feel as though i have a boy mindset. I wake up late and spend my day being lazy because i still live at home while i go to college and just go to class. I feel as though i’m behind everyone else around me. I see all of these people being successful around the same age as me and at times i feel sad cuz i’m like damn man, why can’t i be like them. But this video made me realize, it’s not up to others to form who i will become. It’s time for me to take action and just man the fuck up. Honestly dude, this made me realize i need to focus on myself, be more disciplined, continue with school and get an internship soon. It’s time to form my own life and future, i appreciate you for opening my eyes man. The timing on this is insane too since i just got out of a relationship and have been lazy since. Take care everyone, i hope we can all continue to man up and stay disciplined 🫡

Thank you brother!

Great vid brotha this brought tears to my eyes. Keep doin u. Stay blessed. Thanks for the guidance

Bro god just recommended this video to me I have been praying for Answer Thank you 😭😭🙏❤

thankyou for this man! this video came at the right time

nah you just don't understand how much I needed this.Thank you

Totally recommend for anyone watching this to read "Iron John" by Robert Bly. Good resource for maturing into manhood. Thanks for the video, Malique.

“As a man you got to think for yourself, yeah you gotta think for yourself..” not even Isaac newton on this level of thinking for real💯

I needed to hear this, thank you

I feel convicted by your words. Salute to you, my dude.

19 minutes and 20 seconds of fax, the so called men around me need to hear this

Man this hit hard. Im 26 just been me and my brother and mum. I had to be an adult by like 12 years old. Me and my broski were able to be able to retire mum close to about 10 years now. We are no where near above average. But man we went through some trials and hardship. I just know that when things turn into fruition it will taste so good. All the sacrifices and risk Made willball make sense. However, it feels like im running out of fuel. Its been so long, growing up so young. I just wanna enjoy the little moments i had when i was a kid. But, this is the difference. Its break or make. I remeber a comment i saw on IG, and it stuck by me. No risk. No rarri. Chase that feeling fellas.

What I've come to understand of growing up is: you have to do the thing you have to do, not the things you want to do

Very appreciated. Thanks for the energy young king!

Needed to hear this. How do you remind yourself to not look outward? To not complain, maintain your own mental and just push?

the goal is to inspire cause at the end of the day it aint a single one gon change the world. It’s all of us

love this bro thank you for this kind of reflection.

Needed this man ‼️‼️

God gave this man a message to speak! God loves you if your reading this.

True man I just turned 25 last month and I moved across the country from NYC to LA by myself on the same week it was my Birthday for my dream job. It’s been a hard transition because I left all my friends and family behind for the pursue of my dream career and future. I think long term I made the right decision but I miss my friends and is hard to build a new circle of friends and I hope I can build that here in Los Angeles, and I’m also single which makes it hard 😢.

God bless you man, thank you for the wisdom.

I’ve been watching your videos lately and all I can say is thank you, this is what I need to hear to be heading down the right path in life…a lot can learn from you

Appreciate the video. Also I like the music choice this time. I think it’s definitely better to have calming relaxing emotional music on the types of videos that you do because it helps bring the message forward a little better. Compared to the intense music you used to have.❤

What this generation lost is the experience crazy to think a lot of men start fresh when others hade fathers teach since 4 but that’s life we need change gang

Thank you bro.

Thank you so much for these words of wisdom brother! I appreciate them with all my heart. Specially because I don’t have anybody else to tell me stuff like this !

I’m 19 got into the trades young and now I live in my own place pay my own bills and working on getting a car (hopefully impala ss) while I’m blessed I found what path I wanna go in life i can’t shake this feeling of not being n adult yet

turned 18 3 months ago struggling i hope i get to see this comment after years and see how my life changed

One the most resonating and truthful videos I've seen on RU-vid. Thank you Maliq!

thx bro im a junior in highschool and I want to become big in the future. this really made me think my decisions and really made me lock in ian gon lie. thx for making this video gng

Thank you I needed this I’m 23 and I’m just now started realizing my purpose. Been really lost for these couple years. Sinning and taking accountability for my mistakes n learning

Malik bro, needed this reminder. Why everyday we need to be better than who we use to be, drop the childish, toxic, arrogant ways. At least for me. Appreciate this mannn🤞🏼

You spoke to me heavy in this video I’m not even gonna lie 🔥🔥

You preaching to me today. This is good 🙏🏽
