Real men Integrity – Integrity is more than being honest. It’s a lifestyle set on striving towards moral excellence. Real men say
what they mean and mean what they say. They are the same person whether or not others are watching. They are trustworthy,
dependable, and unwavering.
Real men stick by their first commitment, marriage, and their promise before G_d and man.
Real men demonstrate Self-control – Hardly a day goes by without a news report about some high-profile man who
has been destroyed by sex, money, and/or drugs. Too many men lack self-control, but it is the foundation of a virtuous life.
Self-control starts with focus and ridding yourself of distractions. Doing this isn’t easy because temptations lurk
around every corner.
Real men are able to tame their desires and channel that energy into positive pursuits.
Real men demonstrate Perseverance – Perseverance is the product of self-control. It is courageous resistance against difficult
circumstances. Perseverance is only developed through trials. Real men endure the trials and emerge stronger. They never give up.
Real men Compassion – Compassion is sympathetic consciousness of others’ distress together with a desire to alleviate it. In other
words, you feel compelled to help someone who is hurting. Men aren’t often viewed as being compassionate, but it is a trait that helps
us to become more connected to the people around us. Real men turn their compassion into service and work to make the world
a better place.
