Vital things to focus on intentionally in 2019 to retain your manhood
- You can’t run away from your fears
When you’re a man, it is expected that you can’t hide from challenges. Challenges may come in your life in the form of enemies or fears or even your personal demons. You just have to know how to deal with any situation. It is almost like eating an elephant one bite at a time instead of tricking yourself to eating the entire elephant all at once.
- Stay away from boredom
You must have heard of the age-old adage which says ‘idle mind is always a devil’s workshop’. Hence you have to stay busy always. No, that doesn’t mean that you have to be a workaholic but you need to do something where you will find your identity as a man. Try to keep yourself busy in various ways that can help you grow in a positive way. Do something that can demand your talent, time and treasure.
- Grow yourself or you’ll be dead
Experts always suggest that if you’re not growing yourself, you’re dying. In case you have a habit of watching television always, shut it and instead read a journal, listen to music, pray, take a friend out for coffee or attend a networking event. It is only when you do activities that can grow yourself, you can keep filling your cup and this way you can help others.
- Know what to focus on
It is through your focus that you can determine your reality. If you’re someone who is always distracted in life, you will not accomplish much. Instead if you remain focused towards a goal, you could work towards a larger mission and there’s nothing that can stop you ever. Bring about a change of pace and also a change in perspective. This will help you get back clarity in life.
- Define your values of life
It is our values which drive our decisions and also our lifestyles. Values can point us towards a definite direction and unless we take a conscious step to keep our values and goals in mind, it gets tough for a person to lead a peaceful life. You can jot down a list of values which you want your entire family to follow. Filter them to four and try to follow them as cardinal values for life.
