TOP 5 PRINCIPLE A MAN SHOULD LIVE BY
#1 STOP HOPING FOR A COMPLETION OF ANYTHING INTO LIFE:
Most men make the error of thinking that one day it will be done. They think, "If I can work enough, then one day I could rest" or, "One day my woman will understand something and then she will stop complaining." or, "I'm only doing this now so that one day I can do what I really want with my life"
The masculine error is to think that eventually, things will be different in some fundamental way. They won't. It never ends. As long as life continues, the creative challenge to tussle, play and make love with the present moment while giving your unique gift.
It's never going to be over, so stop waiting for the good stuff. As of now, spend a minimum of one hour a day doing whatever you are waiting to do until your finances are more secure, or until the children have grown and left home, or until you have finished your obligations and you feel to what you really want to do,
Do not wait any longer and start doing it wherever you are now.
#2 Live with an open heart even if it hurts:
Closing down in the midst of pain is a denial of a man's true nature. A superior man is free in feeling and action, even amidst great pain and hurt. If necessary, a man should live with a hurting heart rather than a closed one.
He should learn to stay in the wound of pain and act with spontaneous skill and love even from that place.
Notice if there are times when you find it difficult to look at someone's eyes or times when your chest and solar plexus become tense and contracted. these are the signs of an unskillful reaction to hurt.
Contracted and closed in on yourself, you are unable to act. You are trapped in your own self-protective tension. no longer a free man.
#3 Always holds to your deepest realization:
Eternity must be a man's home, moment by moment. without it, he is lost, always striving, grasping at puffs of smoke. A man must do anything necessary to glimpse, and then stabilize, this ever-fresh realization, and organize his life around it.
Know eternity. Do whatever it takes. And from this depth of being, live the details of your life. But if you postpone the process of submerging yourself in the source for the sake of taking care of business first, your life will be spent in hours and days of business, and then it will be gone.
Only if you are well-grounded in that which is larger than this life will you be able to play live with humor, knowing that each task is but a mirage of necessity.
#4 Your purpose must come before your relationship:
Every man knows that his highest purpose in life cannot be reduced to any particular relationship. If a man prioritizes his relationship over his highest purpose, he weakens himself disserves the universe, and cheats his woman of an authentic man who can offer her full, undivided presence.
Your mission is your priority. Unless you know your mission and have aligned your life to it, your core will feel empty. your presence in the world will be weakened, as will present with your intimate partner.
The next time you notice yourself giving in to your woman, postponing your mission, and denying your true purpose in order to spend time with her, stop.
Tell your woman that you love her, but you cannot deny your heart's purpose. Tell her that you will spend 30 minutes ( or some specific time) with her in absolute attention and total presence. but then you must return to carry your mission.
#5 Be willing to change everything in your life:
A man must be prepared to give 100 % to his purpose, fulfill his karma or dissolve it, and then let go of that specific form of living. He must be capable of not knowing what to do with his life, entering a period of unknowingness and waiting for a vision or a new form of purpose to emerge.
This cycle of strong specific action followed by periods of not knowing what the hell is going on is natural for a man who is shedding layers of karma in his relaxation into truth.
When it comes, it usually won't be the detailed vision. You will probably have a sense of what direction to move in, but the practical steps might not make themselves clear.
when the impulse begins to arise, act on it. Don't wait for the details. Learn by trial and error what it is you are to do.
