But what can you do? Where do you start?

Principle 1: Moral
The only thing separating your family from the depravity of the modern world is YOU
Enemy media constantly pumps our households full of toxic messaging
Every day we're tempted to stray from what’s right and true, drifting ever further into darkness

How do you fight back? You must STAND for something
Write down your personal values, define them, and let them guide you to greatness
Your values determine the type of man you become
They inform your decisions and serve as signposts on your path
Write down your personal values, define them, and let them guide you to greatness
Your values determine the type of man you become
They inform your decisions and serve as signposts on your path
Strongly held values also inform your beliefs
Believe nothing and you’re are a fool
Believe everything and you’re a fool
But arrive at your beliefs through fearless searching, with your values as your guide?
The world opens up for the taking

Principle 2: Physical
The world is a dangerous place
And while it has become relatively safer over the preceding generations, that’s no excuse for your inability to physically protect your family
What would you do if your family was attacked?
Are you prepared?

It’s your duty as a father to be FORMIDABLE
You must be as strong as your genes will allow
You must know how to operate weapons
You must know how to fight
Everything you’ve worked for could be wiped out in an instant
The wages of complacency is death

Start right now, today, because it will take years to become sufficiently dangerous
Train with people stronger than you
Fight with people tougher than you
Frequent your local shooting range
Because one day it’s going to matter, and everything may well be on the line

Principle 3: Financial
Simply put: you cannot afford to be broke
Without the necessary precautions, all it takes is one emergency, medical or otherwise, and your family will be imperiled
A father's love alone will not pay the bills
So what can you do?

So what can you do?
It isn’t complicated
Earn as much as you can
Spend as little as you can
Then diligently save and invest the difference
Pay yourself first every single day
Start while you’re young, develop the habit and it will never leave you

Automate as much of the process as possible
You’re blessed to live in an age where you can click a few buttons on your phone and secure your family’s future forever
A small dose of discipline will set you miles ahead of your peers, and that is a reward in itself

Principle 4: Emotional
A man must control his emotions
It’s the mark of an immature man to display his emotions indiscriminately
To raise his voice, to lash out
This man is not ready for leadership
If you can’t even manage yourself, how can you possibly manage others?

If you can’t even manage yourself, how can you possibly manage others?
I am not suggesting you repress your emotions
Rather you must learn to control the time, place, audience, and manner of their expression
BIG DIFFERENCE
You can’t control how you feel
You can (and must) control how you react to those feelings

BIG DIFFERENCE
You can’t control how you feel
You can (and must) control how you react to those feelings
You will be tested as a father
You will face trials, adversities, and tragedies
Your family will look to you in these moments
Will they be comforted by your stability?
Or will they be swallowed whole by your unchecked emotional riptide?

Principle 5: Educational
The modern world is predicated on lies
We’re told black is white, up is down, ugly is beautiful
And if we don’t believe it? If we don’t conform? We risk the loss of status, livelihood, or worse
It’s your job to DISPEL these lies
It starts with YOU

It starts with YOU
It’s a long journey to the truth
But once you’ve found it? Never let it go
Internalize it, let it inform your decisions
Then TEACH it
You must be the light that leads the way
And you must shine so brightly that you snuff out the endless barrage of modernity's deceptions
