For 40 days and 40 nights, Jesus wandered the wilderness and was tempted repeatedly by the Devil. Promises of wealth and power and fame and influence.
Jesus, quite famously, said no.
We think this story is old-fashioned, archaic and irrelevant today.
Nope.
We all have temptations, it’s so easy to abdicate your responsibilities, to be purely hedonistic and end up, in the long-run, worn-down and disappointed.
The disappointment comes from not living up to your potential, by not being the man you really could be.
Such a good decision I made yesterday that despite my reservations and doubt, I followed through on something very important (doesn’t matter what it is) and I woke up today a man of my word.
Are you a man of your word? Really!
Why do I ask this? Because I want you to wake up
- stronger
- more principled
- a man who’ll build an empire
- a man who will leave a legacy that improves the world
Yes, you may solely want to live for the day and there is plenty of space for having fun and enjoying yourself but that by no means precludes you from making decisions that will benefit you in the future.
Be the man today that your future self will thank you for.
