We Are Men Of Action

Men are doers. We are creatures of activity. We seek adventure and new worlds to explore. We have been this way since the beginning and yet some of us have chained ourselves down to one thing or another.

From the very first one of us, we have been men with responsibilities. Our jobs are, on the surface, simple ones; protect and provide for ones family. When we are not focused on these things we tend to wander in our purpose. The un-focusing of directive has led us to conquer, explore and battle each other for resources and or power. Men have always needed something to do. We became great learners and engineers. We would be the hard labor of the workforce and we would be made to perform unimaginable feats. We developed entire civilizations, made ways for food and water to be continually supplied, and made ourselves comfortable in our homes.

Over time we have grown soft in body and spirit and weak in mind in comparison to our ancestors. We spend hours toiling over menial tasks with no outcome, just a paycheck at the end of the week. We "work" days on end sitting in a chair staring at a screen, or in a meeting, or in a car.

I do not mean to belittle anyone with these words, but I would like to remind the men out there to stand up and be men. Be the great minds and the great builders of our age. Be apart of the new wave of fathers who instruct their children in the way they should go. Live a life worthy of the next generation's awe and wonder. Centuries from now, what will they think of the lives we lived? Those of you who know you are leaders, now is the time for you to stand up.

Stop building fanciful worlds and false realities online and make a difference in your family and in your community. Show the world what you are made of. Are we men of idleness and worthlessness or are we men of action and of greatness?
