Just a quick short message- that doing the
right thing is not always easy, but it's
actually a lot easier than the alternative.
We are bombarded by a world telling us that
it's okay to cheat your way around, whether
it's in business, or in relationships, or
anything else. We are told that there is no
room anymore for being a great person,
that you will just get punished for it.
Well the truth is, life always boils down
to your relationships, whether it's with
your friends, associates, or the woman in
your life- or the relationship you have
with yourSELF, in the sense of the
self-concept you have, and the values
you cherish and champion.
As soon as you treat these people with less
than 100% respect, you are chipping away
at the foundation of trust that makes
all these relationships possible.
Caring about each other is the only way
to go. And for those people who try to
abuse your great character, you just
have to stand up for yourself, but this
is no reason to abandon your values
and to put everyone in the same basket.
There are good people out there and they
are just as appreciative of your goodness
as you are of theirs.
If you want to be the real Superman in
the world today, then just keep on doing
the right thing.

What I Mean By "Being The Man"
Today, it's almost as if a lot of men
and women are afraid to even STAND UP
for integrity, honor and loyalty.
It's almost not "cool" to be this way.
They mistake these immortal attributes
for stupidity.
They don't understand at all.
The truth, though, is that a wise woman
will appreciate the strength of a MAN'S
loyalty. And of course, a wise man will
do the same for a woman.
This same focus on INTEGRITY rather than
on trivialities, helps you detect whether
a woman is quality or not, on the inside.
In the movie "Unforgiven", Eastwood's
character is an example of a guy who
is THE MAN. He understand there
are things more important than
getting "free ones" with women.
His love for his wife, even though
she has passed away, is something
that sustains him, long after she
has passed away.
It's as if he knows the real deal, and
no one could fool him on anything.
Somehow, you just know that his character
wouldn't be the type learning pick up
lines and trying to get women to like
him by being someone other than himself.
Our society today can learn a lot
from this, and no, I don't mean
to go around with guns a blazing,
I mean to have this level of
TOTAL INTEGRITY WITHOUT APOLOGY
FOR BEING A GREAT MAN.
Notice in the clip below, how
his character actually VALIDATES
this woman and how powerful an
effect it has on her, because
his words are not coming from
a place of weakness or neediness
but from inner strength.
This is what I mean by how you
CAN be good to a woman, when
it comes from a place of internal
strength.
