As a Man

I don’t strive to live a “Soft life”.

I live a life in Flow with who I am, yea the #FlowLife.

A Renaissance universal man…yea #RUMLIFE

A soft life for me just isn’t practical for my overall growth.

I don’t run away from difficulty that ultimately builds my development,character,and discernment .

I’m not a trend following guy. Too much of anything usually ends up a bad thing.

Balance is the sweet spot.

I like fly sh*t just like anybody else.

However, I get into books, architecture, different genres of music, locations, philosophy, learning about levels of decorum ,quantum theory ,etc.

Maybe I’m off, but the way I understand “soft life” seems like running away from any level of difficulty. To avoid stress on any plateau when that is apart of this entire experience. To display levels of wealth and luxury not earned. That you deserve the best of everything just for being alive. Nothing wrong with wanting the absolute best for you and yours. However,this philosophy isnt fit for a developing man. From the outside it’s cursory and superficial. You do not get abs (or anything else in life) saying “The gym and dieting isn’t soft enough. It’s too hard, let’s not!”. Betterment requires challenges! You will thank and be proud of yourself each time you come out the other side of the tunnel. Don’t follow the trends and lose your fervor because you thought you found a stress free way to live life, only to realize it’s a fabrication. We have to put effort and work …whether mental or physical for the things we want! Especially, as men!

Just to be clear theirs absolutely nothing wrong or feminine about taking care of yourself!

Taking care of your skin, hair, clothes, environment, etc.

Let’s leave that “Soft life” logic for the ladies…

We have other ideologies we can live by and this shit ain’t it.🤌🏽

On Trusting Your Gut

Maybe you believe in God. Maybe you believe in the Universe. Perhaps you believe in nothing at all. It doesn’t matter what you believe, but if you are in tune with yourself in any capacity, you feel those little nudges of guidance.

Maybe it’s a man that just doesn’t quite seem right. Maybe it’s an opportunity. It could even be a friend, a family member, a situation….anything. Problems arise when we try to ignore these nudges and minimize what we feel.

I don’t need to go into any detail. This post will resonate if it’s meant to. So, with that said… trust your gut.
