I wrote this down 2 years ago (without AI). Still holds strong today, but even more so after we added a daughter…

Thoughts on raising strong sons in a confused world.
timeless lessons I'm drilling into my 3 sons.
1. Follow God first. All other wisdom flows from this.
2. Strength isn't about dominance. It's about protection and service
3. Delayed gratification is a superpower. Master it early.
4. True masculinity creates and protects. It doesn't destroy or dominate.
5. Courage isn't fearlessness. It's doing what's right despite fear. Do scary things daily.
6. Emotions aren't weakness. Control them, don't suppress them. They are like a speedometer on your car.
7. Take wildly bold action, but own the consequences.
8. Respect isn't given or taken. It's earned daily.
9. Learn to lead yourself before leading others.
10. Your habits build your future. Choose them wisely. Build them earnestly.
The world needs godly men more than ever. Strong men build strong families. Strong families build strong societies. It's worth everything to fight for this.

@SolBrah The social conditioning to normalize these things is on an extreme scale rn
Time will only tell how many problems they create 20 years from now that were “unforeseen”
