Overcoming

Summary

We live in a day and age where most people travel through life with no direction or knowledge of what their actual purpose is. Through many trials and tribulations, I found out exactly who I am and my reasons for being placed on planet Earth. Whatever your circumstance, it's of vital importance to become content with the person you see in the mirror. Without him or her by your side, you will stay lost. The mirror needs to become your best friend, otherwise, you will be faced with figuring out life on your own, which can become a very lonely place indeed. Your fears, anger, boredom, and addictions will always make their way to the surface, which creates uncertainty in the core of your being. Every person was once a young child with great big dreams...dreams of being the hero, of becoming something, or rising to the top doing daring feats like rescuing the damsel in distress. What happens to those dreams when we grow up? "What does today's man resemble?"Then look around, most people, especially men, are bored to struggle with self-confidence.

Life can be full of adventure, yet we were not placed on earth to figure this out on our own. We need to become crucial influencers and conscious men, take daring leaps and risks, go on unknown adventures, become mentors to our children and lead them out of uncertainty into a prosperous life. We need to be ready right now.
