crazy how peaceful life becomes when you decide you no longer have the energy to teach people how to appreciate you, respect you, respect your boundaries, treat you right, listen, communicate, resolve conflicts, honor agreements, be accountable, and have difficult conversations.
never forget how people treated you when you had nothing to offer but your struggle. the way someone shows up when you’re at your lowest tells you everything you need to know.
A man who lies can’t lead. A man who cheats can’t lead. A man who never takes accountability can’t lead. A man who lets pride, anger, and ego control his decisions can’t lead either. Leadership starts with character. If a man can’t be honest, disciplined, responsible, and respectful, he has no business expecting anyone to trust him with a household.
