Dear men,
I know times are hard. I know you want to take the best possible care of your loved ones. Sometimes you have to make difficult choices to get things done, and when people don’t understand your decisions, they try to put you down. Even your own family members may come to resent you when you’re making those hard calls. There are moments when you start doubting yourself. You begin betting against yourself—while others are already doing the same.
But listen to me, brave men: you have to stop betting against yourself. You need to become honourable once again. I know you can do it.
It is your job to become honourable men.
How do you become honourable? How do you win back your life? These are the questions you need to ask yourself every single day.
To become a faithful man, fix your attention on your intelligence. Intelligence is your noble virtue—your guiding principle for how to live. It means thinking clearly and without confusion, helping your fellow men to the best of your ability, and trusting in God and in heaven with all the strength and courage of your soul.
You don’t have to remain a slave to your habits. Constantly remind yourself that you have the soul of a free man. By indulging in destructive habits, you have already done enough damage to your body and mind. It’s time to start fresh. Get up, work diligently, build a good life, and lift the people around you.
I’m not telling you to become cocky. I’m not telling you to go back to the people who betrayed you just for revenge. Improve your life not out of vengeance, but out of love and peace. You have already burned yourself enough in the fire of revenge—now it’s time to drink from the fountain of love.
God will test every move you make and every choice you take. Your job is to do the right thing and stand firm. Whatever you are working on—whether it’s learning finance, training in the gym, fixing your car, or anything else—make your work your best friend. Put in consistent effort so that God may reward you in the near future.
As I said earlier, to become an honourable man you must fix your focus on intelligence. Do not deceive your fellow men. If you are deceitful in your actions, you are not living your true life. If you owe anyone anything, make sure you repay it. Do not run from your debts. Do not run from your past mistakes. Face them. Take the lessons they offer so you can become grateful for the present moment.
Dear men, so much depends on you.
I know you can do it.
