Finding Your Purpose

 

Finding your purpose as a man can be a challenging but rewarding journey. Here are six ways you can get started: 

1. Identify what you value most: Reflect on what matters most to you in life and use this as your guide. 

2. Take time to reflect: Spend time alone in silence and introspection so that you can connect with your true self and discover your purpose.

3. Set goals: Set short, medium, and long-term goals for yourself. This will help you stay focused and motivated. 

4. Cultivate relationships: Surround yourself with people who inspire and challenge you. This will help you stay focused on your journey. 

5. Follow your passions: Pursue activities that bring you joy and satisfaction. This will help you to discover your purpose. 

6. Take risks: Take calculated risks to challenge yourself. This will help you to grow and develop as a man.

(Poem) The path to manhood full of strife and unease.

 A man's journey is not always easy, it is as 

A winding road, filled with peril and doubt,

A winding road, climbing ever higher up and out.

A man has much to learn along the way,

From the wisdom of elders, he must take away.

To challenge himself and test his mettle,

To survive the storms and find his settle.

He must learn to stand on his own two feet,

To make his own choices, even if they don't always meet.

To make mistakes and learn from them,

To become a man, he must never condemn.

He must learn to lead and to listen,

To make the right choices, even if it means to glisten.

To take care of others and be courageous too,

To be a man, he must always be true.

The journey to manhood is long and arduous,

But with strength and courage, it can be victorious.

So when you find yourself on this winding road,

Remember that manhood is a heavy load.

Master Red Seeks Solitude

If you've ever struggled with addiction, you know how powerful the highs can be and how low the lows can take you. Once the high is gone, so is the excitement that comes with it. Without enough discipline, it's easy to fall into a persistent state of addiction.

Master Red has found a way to catch the dragon for life and have him do as you will. But just like any capture, you need skills, weapons, traps, vei, and experience to catch this mighty beast. In your quest to beat addiction, Master Red recommends that you prepare yourself mentally by finding solitude. In that solitude, remember why you wanted to beat addiction in the first place, who you've been chasing the dragon with, how long you've sought the dragon, and what purpose does this chase serve in your life.

Some of you might find that the dragon serves no purpose in your life, while others might find that it helped them reach maturity. Indeed, for most men, the dragon serves the purpose of growth, a moment of awakening. The chase is almost like a test of will and skill.

If you find that this dragon does not serve you, then your next step will be to catch the dragon by changing the scenery in which you're in, including the alliances you have, so that you can evaluate your purpose. Changing your scenery and finding your purpose will allow you to become aware of your own actions as you engage in self-conceived tasks and goals.

Master Red has the luxury of being born in the belly of mountain ranges. If he wills, he can walk to the bottom of a few mountains away from the eyes and ears of people. However, Master Red cannot tell you how to make time for your solitude in this writing. He's only here to inspire you to be by yourself for some time.

Remember that you don't need to go far to find solitude. Ironically, the further you go, the more you lose the way. It's best to be like the clouds in the sky, without form, ever-changing, ever-growing, within the kingdom that you'll always be king of – Master Red
