Men were made to be bold, strong, leaders. However, our society hasattempted to repress these traits . If you look at the way men (especially dads) are portrayed on TV, you’d think we were all a bunch of irresponsible, befuddled, nincompoops, who can only function with the help of a “smart” female partner, friend, or spouse.
Consequently, many boys are confused and have no idea what it takes to be a real man . They seek inappropriate role models and emulatethe bad behavior that they see on a regular basis.
It is our duty as men, fathers, and responsible citizens to counter these negative images and raise a new generation of men who are respectful, loving, and willing to contribute to society in a positive way.
If we are to achieve this goal, we must start with improving ourselves. I started my journey towards self-improvement after my daughter’s birth. The greatest compliment that a father can get from his daughter is “I want to marry someone just like you.” That kind of pressure forces you to examine your life and look for ways to improve.
Over the years, I’ve discovered seven traits that real men possess:
1. Integrity – Integrity is more than being honest. It’s a lifestyle set on striving towardsmoral excellence. Real men say what they mean and mean what they say. They are the same person whether or not others are watching. They are trustworthy, dependable, and unwavering.
2. Compassion – Compassion is sympathetic consciousness of others’ distress together with a desire to alleviate it. In other words, you feel compelled to help someone who is hurting. Men aren’t often viewed as being compassionate, but it is a trait that helps us to become more connected to the people around us. Real men turn their compassion into service and work to make the world a better place .
3. Confidence – Real men are confident. Many people confuse confidence with arrogance and self-centeredness. Real men know the difference. Confidence is about being self-assured and self-aware. Confident men have faith in their abilities and knowledge. They don’t need to tear others down in order to build themselves up. They earn people’s trust with their radiant, inner strength. When a they walk into the room, everyone takes notice.
4. Self-control – Hardly a day goes by without a news report about some high-profile man who has been destroyed by sex, money, and/or drugs. Too many men lack self-control, but it is thefoundation of a virtuous life. Self-control starts with focus and ridding yourself of distractions.Doing this isn’t easy because temptations lurk around every corner. Real men are able to tame their desires and channel that energy into positive pursuits .
5. Perseverance – Perseverance is the product of self-control. It is courageous resistance against difficult circumstances. Perseverance is only developed through trials. Real men endure the trials and emerge stronger. They never give up .
6. Bravery – Bravery is the courage to do whatis right regardless of the circumstances. Nothing is ever accomplished with an attitude of passivity. Real men stand up in the face of adversity .
7. Humility – Today’s breed of young men loves to let everyone know how much swagger they have. They thump their chests and proclaim to the world, “I’m a Big Deal. Look at me!” Real men understand the value of being humble and letting someone else’s light shine . They realize that humility is more endearing than self-importance. Humility indicates that you are ridding yourself of the poison of self-centeredness. Besides, humility softens the blow when someone knocks you off your pedestal.
Acquiring all of these traits takes time and dedication. However, oursociety would benefit greatly if all men strove to possess them.
8: A real manknows the importanceof family A real man will keep his family strong and pass on his ancestors' historyand traditions . A real man knows that his children are God's gift and should be treated assuch, even if he disciplines them from time to time.
A real man must also remember his other Family , his organization.In my world, both my family and my Family hold the same importance; I protect them both with all my might. If you have a Family , don't forget where your loyalties lie and who has your back when you need it
9: A real mandoesn't gossip A real man follows omerta ; he keeps his mouth shut. He shelters information and rations his words. A real man does not reveal more than he has to and doesn't engage in girlie talk about others. A real man doesn't discuss things he doesn't know about or people he has never met.
10: A real man is strong A real man doesn't cry, doesn't moan, doesn't complain, doesn't get sick, and doesn't need togo to the doctor every time he sneezes. A real man makes decisions and lives with the consequences. A real man accepts responsibility for his actions and his words. Areal man is firm. If life is a b*tch, a real man will slap it and move on.
A real man is macho. A real man is tough. A realman doesn't show emotions. A realman is the backbone of his family and doesn't have time to be weak. If spiders scare you, you'll never be a real man.
