Third F – Character

Everyone has Character. Everyone is a Character. We can be a character and still have a good character. Character is not necessarily what we think of ourselves but what others think of us. What kind of character do we have? What are we doing to contribute positively in society, our houses, our jobs, etc? What do people think of when they hear our names or see us walk in a room? I have watched Lunchable from birth for 16 plus years and I know his good character. I grew up with Quattro, yes he is a character, but he has a great character. I don’t know everyone in this group as well as I know Quattro, but what I see of this group of men is that character runs deep in each of us! We have kids (ours and others) looking at us for an example, men in this group see what we do, folks outside this group are definitely watching us, folks in our workplaces and places of worship, family members. How are we living our lives and what do people see when they see us? Woodstock contributed: Character is what do you do when no one is watching. What kinds of websites do we visit when we are alone? Good points, Woodstock! I appreciate the help brother.

3rd F from Ryan Michler’s Sovereignty:

THERE IS NO ARRIVAL

Here’s the first realization you need to understand: there is no arrival. There is no final destination. No glorious state of being where the clouds part and the angels sing, “Hallelujah, you’ve made it.” I know that may not sound very empowering, considering that most men work better when they know what they’re working toward.
But let’s break this down a little bit and make a distinction. There are going to be projects, jobs, encounters, relationships, and experiences that are going to end. In fact, most of what we deal with on a daily basis is, by design, supposed to end.
What I’m referring to when I say there is no arrival is that you, as a man, will never reach your full potential. What does “full potential” even mean? I know we like to talk about it, but I sincerely believe it is impossible. Your potential as a man is a moving target. Once you think you’re there, you can plainly see you’re capable of so much more. At first glance that may be a very frustrating idea. If you’ll never reach your full potential, what’s the point of even trying? But if you think about this on a deeper level, you’ll see, if you know there is no state of being where you become your best, you give yourself permission to enjoy the ride you’re currently on.
When we spend our entire lives adhering to the notion that there is some final destination for ourselves or, worse, we compare ourselves to where other people are, we become consumed with chasing something that does not exist. If you’re chasing something that isn’t real, all you end up doing is spinning in circles and not getting anywhere.
Even the thought of mastery can be an elusive target. Does complete mastery even exist? With the advancement in technology and medicine, things that were once impossible are entirely possible today, and even more so in the future. I don’t, however, consider mastery an objective. I consider mastery a path—a journey to see how good we can actually become. And isn’t that more exciting anyway?
Whether you’re sweeping floors and cleaning toilets as a janitor or running a Fortune 500 company, understanding that there is no arrival should fill you with optimism, as there is no limit on what you can ultimately achieve.
