I love how you emphasize the importance of multigenerational relationships. It’s so true that boys need to learn from men of all ages, and your commitment to introducing them to role models like Uncle DeLario and Coach P is so needed. These relationships will have a lasting impact on their emotional maturity and understanding of what it means to be a man. The "Rules of the Few" are dope! Each rule encapsulates essential life lessons that resonate deeply. I particularly appreciate the focus on welcoming pain and discomfort as a pathway to growth. It’s a powerful reminder that challenges can lead to invaluable life skills. Your encouragement to choose effort over excuses is something I believe we all need to hear more often. It’s evident that you’re not just guiding your sons; you’re on a meaningful journey with them, and that intentionality will shape them into remarkable individuals. Thank you for sharing your experiences and wisdom—it’s a great blueprint for anyone looking to raise the next generation with purpose.
Great list of things I aim to do every single day. Me and my friends/Christian brothers had it out on the text messaging group today for good causes. The discussion was about perfection on this side of Heaven; even from different places in Mississippi, we can learn, mature, and be transformed by God and each other by seeing sparks fly as we (iron) sharpen each other. Thankfully, I am a Christian and was so grateful for the truth, agreement, and love. Brotherly love had been spoken of in church last Sunday and revival is coming up this Sunday. I think that the rules that you share here are phenomenal, and let's not forget how much the Lord is doing to help us all be better men by Betterman and progressively becoming better men. Thanks for the substack article here, it's another notch in the milestone marker of growth and manhood.
This is what we are missing. No one wants to learn from the older generation because they “don’t understand what it’s like”. They have lived a harder life than most alive today, and understand more than some of these new generations can fathom. I see so many fathers so busy “providing” for their family they don’t have the patience to teach their sons how they provide. They leave them at home so they can get things accomplished quicker. I am guilty. But some of my son’s best days and memories so far are the days we worked hard together and just did man things together. It takes longer, but those days or moments together teach more than a million words ever could. Thanks for the encouragement brother. We need to build the next generation of men. You can’t build just by talking, you build by doing.
