Masculinity is the absolute embracing of responsibility. That’s why there is no toxic masculinity. There are men who accept responsibility and men who reject it.
“When my kids turn 18 they are OUT, and I’m not giving them one cent more.”
You’ll save more money every Christmas when you don’t get to see your grandkids.

Good afternoon. Remember leaving a legacy means leaving people and places better than you found them. Regardless of where we came from we get to leave behind more. Today all you got. Happy Sunday + Father’s Day ✨
“If someone does something bad to you once, they’ll do it again and again.”
Robert Greene dropped this truth: People rarely do something harmful “just once.” That apology (“that wasn’t me”) is almost never true, it’s part of a pattern. The same goes for our own compulsive behaviors. To break them, you have to catch the thinking loop early and repeat the mantra: let go, let go, let go.
This is one of those simple but brutal lessons that saves you so much pain once you actually internalize it.
Spotting patterns, in others and in yourself, is one of the highest-leverage skills you can develop.

Let me say this again. The teacher who builds ten minutes of free reading into every day. Not assessed, not recorded, not reported, is making a long bet.
The results won't appear in this year's test scores.
They will appear years later in adults who still read for pleasure.
That return is real.
It is just invisible to the systems designed to measure it.
The best teachers make that bet anyway. I thank every teacher that starts to build that reading habit in their class.
