In the previous three posts I have covered the first three characteristics of a man. Please refer to them individually:
Accept Responsibility for a Will to Obey
Accept Responsibility for a Work to Do
Accept Responsibility for a Woman to Love
The last three characteristics where a man should lead courageously:
Lead Courageously with your Character
A person’s character is who they are when no one is looking – who you are when people cannot see you. Character is the thoughts that control our actions. Character includes but is not limited to:
- Self-discipline
- Morals
- Purity
- Honesty
- Excellence
- Integrity
- Perseverance
Whether you realize it or not, our character is shaped by:
- The input we consume (music, TV, movies, books, games)
- The relationships we pursue (especially our five closest friends)
- The habits we acquire (talking, thinking, eating, etc.)
Lead Courageously with your Conduct
Your conduct is how you handle yourself in front of others. It is the actions that people see when they see or think of you.
Your conduct includes but is not limited to your actions of being:
- Courteous
- Considerate
- Patient
- Giving
- Humble
Lead Courageously with your Charisma
Your charisma is how you influence others. How you are able to get others to do the things you are leading or asking.
Your charisma comes from your ability to positively influence others by being:
- Courteous
- Decisive
- Charming
- Loyal
- Kind
I welcome comments on whether you agree or disagree with my conclusions.
