WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A HIGH VALUE MAN.

When we talk about high value men in the society what is mostly focused on is status, flashes of cash, and external validation.

But these are not the things that makes a man high value.. Though they can be part of the outcome of becoming a high value man.

A high value man is a man who commands respect through responsibility, discipline and inner order.

He is not a man who needs others to approve of him or validate him before he can feel good about himself.

He does not need to convince anyone about his worth.

A high value man develops himself and knows true strength is better communicated from the inside-out and not on external things.

He has the strength of character.

He accepts the fact that his life is his responsibility and hence honours it through discipline.

He does not do things based on how good they feel but he does what aligns with his standards whether someone is watching or not.

To become a high value man, you must learn to keep promises to yourself.

Wake when you say you'd wake, do what you said you'd do.

Confidence comes when your mind learns that your word means something.

Every time you keep a promise to yourself, you reinforce the belief that you are reliable. Everytime you break one, you weaken it.

This is why many men appear insecure even when they appear successful externally.

They can have money, status or attention but internally, they know they can't rely on themselves.

When a man lacks inner order, his life reflects it.

And high value is not something you perform, it's something you build from the inside-out.

It is not about perfection so even if you fail yourself a couple of times you can still pick yourself up and keep building till you develop the character of a high value man.

You are not judged by where you start but by the direction you choose to go and by the consistency with which you move.

Progress matters more than image, so it is not about how people view you now but rather who you have chosen to become and the man you are becoming.

You don't become high value by convincing people of your worth but by living in a way that makes self respect unavoidable.

NO ONE IS COMING TO SAVE YOU.

Imagine being given 86,400 dollars every day to use on whatever you want.

But then there is a clause to it that whatever you don't use of it disappears.

Daily each of us is given something worth more than that. We are each given 86,400 seconds of time each day.

And how each person uses his or hers makes a huge difference.

Some of us respects money more than our time, but time is more vital than money.

If you loose money, you can get it back but if you loose time, it's gone for ever.

Yet many of us spend hours scrolling on social media watching reels and theories of men who teach how to cook noodles with fire crackers and half naked women who just came out of cosmetic surgery.

We are often busy watching people who are making use of their own time while ours is not being put into something that will bring us sustainable and valuable returns.

Excitement and pleasure are both like a mirage, they disappear with time.

IF YOU DON'T SPEND YOUR TIME GETTING BETTER, YOU WILL ALWAYS WORK FOR SOMEONE WHO DOES.

We find hard to engage in activities that grow us because they can really be boring.. Imagine picking up a book on quantum physics to study.. Boring, isn't it?

But what we don't understand is that if we discipline ourselves to do the boring things that brings about growth in our lives, our lives would become much more exciting.

But when we spend our time mostly doing exciting things, our lives become boring.

Imagine an adult sprawled like a couch potato watching Netflix all day. He would be entertained and excited but would have not grown an inch in real life.

It's not we won't celebrate or enjoy life, but it's rather self destructive to over-celebrate an average life.

How we use our time today determines whom we become tomorrow.

If we get better, the world gets better with us.

Invest time in your growth today, and discipline yourself to do that boring thing, your future self is counting on you.

Don't disappoint him/her.

LONELINESS IS A GIFT

In a world where a man who is not in any relationship is seen as incomplete, a man must gird his loins strongly with the understanding that his worth is not found in another person standing by him but by the fulfillment of his purpose.

Many people feel that something may be wrong with you as a man once you are not in a relationship or married.

And this is is part of the reasons why a lot of men settle for less in their marriages or in a relationship.

They get married to people who they never had any business being with in the first place, just because they afraid of solitude or Loneliness.

But Loneliness should not be viewed as a weakness but rather as an opportunity to discover and cultivate a deeper relationship with one's self and God, refine your purpose and develop the strength of character.

A man who understands this will never be desperate to enter a relationship or get married because he would understand that he doesn't need anyone to complete him as he already has a sense of wholeness in himself and if he must do relationship or marriage it must be with someone worthy.

Love was never designed to cure Loneliness because no relationship can fill the void of an aimless life.

Without purpose a man would put a strain on his relationship/marriage relying on someone else to fulfill him when he is a supposed to be whole in his own self...

A man is not to enter a relationship to be completed but rather to share the wholeness he has already built in himself.

So having a girlfriend or not does not make any difference to a man who knows where he is headed to in life...

A whole man is focused on becoming the best version of himself and not jumping from one platform to another in hope of finding someone to complete him.

The greatest illusion the world has sold us is that love is a remedy for our Loneliness but a man who is not complete by his own self would struggle in a relationship.

As a single man focus on finding yourself, focus on developing your relationship with God, focus on discovering why you are here.

Instead of bothering yourself about being lonely focus on answering these questions.

Who am I?

Why am I here?

What am I called to do?

Where am I going?

A man that knows himself and is whole would never need to prove anything to anyone because he has already proven to himself that he is strong, capable and whole.

He would be able to command respect even as a single man rather than being a doormat for any woman to walk all over on.

Shalom.
