8 grown man habits guys learn too late

today we are going over eight grown man habits that guys learn a little too late if you see me looking down just from time to time I just want to make sure I got all my notes ready for y'all so let's hop right into the video man this is Purpose Driven Man the first grown man habit that guys learned a little too late is self discipline yeah man discipline is showing up for yourself man we don't give a damn what's going on at the end of the day at the end of the day we still

got to do what we got to do in order to reach the places that we know we can reach you see what I'm saying so it's easy to make excuses but it's harder to execute and as men bro we got to learn that right away is the the more that we execute the more that we prioritize putting in the work the more that we prioritize action over distractions that's when we get to see the results that we want you see what I'm saying that's when we get to see the life that we want that's when

we get to see the life that we desire but we got to work towards it cuz nobody going to do the work for us nobody's coming to save us you see what I'm saying yeah God can sa if you spiritually but we talking about on this physical plane bro on Earth at the end of the day he still wants you to to put in the work he still wants you to be disciplined he still wants you to to to to become him to become that God cuz if you're not going to become that God then

how is he going to reward you you see it's bro bro it's it's it's about effort and then it's about what you get when you put in the effort that's it so we have to put in more effort we got to put in more energy we got to put in more work we got to put in more consistency we got to put it in more discipline if you trying to get more out of life you can't expect to get all out of life when you ain't give your all in life I'm going repeat that one

more time you can't expect to get all out of life when you didn't put all in life and you see we different over here we not comparing ourselves to those that sold day soul in order to get rich in order to get money in order to get Fame they didn't have to go all the way in but we're God-fearing men so we got to go all the way in Malik what does it mean to sell your soul well on the surface level what that means is you trading in who God made you to be for

who the world needs you to be for who they want you to be and they going to give you your riches instead of God giving you your riches so you decide what you want to do you want to put half the work in or you want to put all the work in I'm putting all the work in so because we choose to put all the work in it's going to take a little bit longer it's going to take some more heart some more grit some more hustle stop complaining to get to work stop looking for

the shortcut stop looking for the easy way out that's what they did over here they did that over here they was looking for the easy way out how that's going to end up for them it's not going to end up well number two maintain physical fitness your body is your temple You're Made In God's image the discipline you learn in the gym transfers to other areas of your life so when I tell y'all to work out it ain't just about how you physically look that's surface level let's dive a little deeper what does it mean

to show up consistently every single day it means that you begin to build fortitude you see what I'm saying you begin to build an attitude of fortitude you start to see results in yourself but that starts with the mindset so yeah we working out we working out we working out it ain't just so you could be buff and dumb and big no what Cat Williams no no it's not about that it's about the mindset that no matter what we showing up no matter what we putting in the work you feel me G so we got

to put it in the work because we got that proper mindset we believe in ourselves so we showing up every single day and we working towards feeling our best cuz when we feel our best we look our best when we look our best we feel our best but on top of that it's the mindset it's the mindset to do what to give it your best so it's mind over matter it's mind over body you feel what I'm saying and a lot of people us online on Instagram and stuff like that you know all they focused

on is the physical whether they looking at IG models you know who built their body up or who bought their body or we looking at guys who probably taking steroids and you comparing yourself to these people it ain't about comparing yourself it's about being the best you that you can be and showing up for yourself and actually just working out so you can feel a sense of health so you can have that good mindset you you see what I'm saying so it's about the mindset that you build by going to the gym consistently so that's

important you know everybody can go to the gym but you got to understand why you going so the third thing that the third grown man habit that guys learned too late is to be a leader and not a follower and when I was in the third grade my mom was talking to me she was like yo you could be a follower if you want you know somebody tell you to jump off a bridge you going to jump off a bridge with them or are you going to forge own path and lead your own path and

do your own thing and ever since she said that I'm talking about third grade ever since she said that something switched in me I said damn I'm a leader I'mma do I'mma make my own decisions I'm not going to do things for other people and I've been on that wave ever since I've been on that wave ever since and it it rings trer today where it's like bro I'm a leader dog I don't need to follow nobody I don't need to follow nobody wave I Could Be Inspired it's all about being inspired by people but

when I was in the third grade dude this is my story I'm trying to tell you bro I only needed to hear one line you want to be a leader or you want to be a follower so I'mma leave you with this one line you want to be a leader or you want to be a follower if somebody tell you to jump off a bridge are you going to do it hell no you feel what I'm saying so it's time to take your power back G and it's time to say you know what this is

my life kick your legs up and live the life that you need to live make decisions that you need to make for your life there's too many people they dictating your life there's too many people who think they have stopped in your life you see what I'm saying they think that they have say in what you do no no it's your life you could take opinions into account but that's it you an adult you got to make their decisions and you got to live with it it's not their life they already had their life they

already had their life let me repeat it one more time they already had their life they already had their life [Music] I'm building my life this is my life so I'mma do it my way and I'mma down this hill that I build I'm a down the hill that I make cuz it's my life so you make the final decisions in your life now stop telling stop asking people what would you do no what would you do it's your life now we going on to number four it's important to invest in yourself it's important to invest

in that's it investing you we again bro we can invest in all these other things we can invest in all these other things we can invest in fast food we can invest in all these other things we can invest in buying new shoes and stuff like that and all these companies that don't care about you if you die today they won't give a damn or do you want to be a consumer in your life or do you want to be a producer in your life there's a difference a consumer means you just consume things you

just it's always you just you just always consuming you consuming TV shows you consuming YouTube you consuming see I don't make these videos so you can just consume it I make these videos so you can go out there and actually live it I want to see change happen in your real life I want to see you actually evolve I want to see you actually become the person that you was created to be that's my wish for you that's my dream for you is that okay you can watch my video sitting down but then you stand

up and you get to fing work you stand up and you actually make it happen you stand up and you go out into the world and you show them hey I'm I'm I'm that I'm that dude bro I'm fired up you see what I'm saying you feel what I'm saying bro so that's investing in yourself so you can watch a YouTube video but when you actually get to work now that YouTube video is an investment it's not waste of time see what I'm saying yeah when you start to read books if you don't apply what

the what the knowledge is saying in the books you're wasting your time it's just entertainment you might as well just watch the movie G but when you take the information in the book and you apply it to your real life that's no longer just reading books it's an investment how many more things can we have in our life that's Investments you see what I'm saying see when I spend time with with family when I spend time with family that I love that's an investment because it richly blesses my soul so you can spend time with

loved ones that's that's an investment you have to look at things as Investments if you're not getting something out of what you're doing then there's no point in actually doing it there's no there's no point in actually doing it and there's a lot of y'all y'all doing a lot of things that's not adding no value to your life it has to add value into your life because I know you're adding value into other people's lives you're adding value into other things you're adding value to these companies when you're buying new clothes or whatever you buying

all these different things you're bringing up your money you're adding monetary value that way or you watching Netflix not only are you giving them monetary value but you you giving them your time you giving them your time time that you can't get back and we know time is more valuable than Money G cuz once it's gone it's gone I don't want to hear I don't want to hear it so spend your time wisely invest in yourself do things that will pour back into you number five be more decisive how do we do that Malik three-step

process assess decide and then act ain't no more Walling around ain't no more I don't know what I want to do with my life y'all got to figure this out dog assess the situation you see what I'm saying assess the situation go ahead and make a decision and then act on it the worst that can happen is that it doesn't work that's fine we take L's all the time lessons we take lessons every day we not perfect that's okay that's okay we not Yahweh we not perfect that's and that's okay but you still got to

move bro see we never know if it's going to pay off if we don't actually do it we never know if it's going to pay off if we don't actually move y'all not moving you stagnant you ain't filming no video why you not moving see I'm stagnant right here cuz I'm filming a video you see what I'm saying after the video I'm moving after the video I'm working out I got my headphones on already I'm ready I had to put it on I said man Hey listen man I need to listen to my music I'm

jamming out the sun is out I'm feeling great see what are we what are we really accomplish what are we really trying to do in this world bro are are we really going for it or are we just half going for it and there's a lot of times you you don't know if you really want it so you're not really decisive you're not really sure so you're not really making actionable steps but as a man you got to listen to me right here right now nobody's going to make decisions for you and sometimes y'all paralyze

yourself you paralyze yourself you paralyze yourself because you thinking about all the things that could go wrong instead of thinking about what can go right and if I just move and if I just keep going I know I'm going to reach some type of let let me tell y'all this right now I don't give a damn what you going for in life I don't care watch this right here if you don't quit you're going to make it that's it it's that simple so make a decision decide act and act and act and act and act

every day you act every Monday you act every Tuesday you act every Wednesday you act towards that goal you act towards that decision that you made and you're going to get the results that you're looking for once you do that I promise you that let's go to the next one man number six have strong boundaries stand up for what you believe in and don't let anybody disrespect you or your loved ones some of y'all soft let's just call it what it is and I mean that with a lot of love you know we family over

here you know what I'm saying ain't no toxic masculinity over here none of that I don't believe in that stuff I believe in leading with love I believe in leading in righteousness I believe in leading with God's word but I'm going tell y'all this right now some of y'all soft don't let nobody disrespect you stand up for yourself don't let nobody disrespect your family stand up for your family stand up for your loved ones stand up for your people cuz it's truth is if you don't stand up for yourself nobody going to stand up for

you you see what I'm saying there a lot of Y y'all believe in certain things and then you start to do other things because of peer pressure it's it's kind of crazy to me why we fold because of other people's beliefs because of society's expectations on us we fold you got to make decisions for you you got to pray about it you got to make decisions for your family it's a personal decision a lot of things you make personal decisions and we now we not we not phased by what you think or what you think

or what you think I'mma stand up for what I believe I'mma stand up for what I believe and as long as I ain't hurt nobody as long as I'm staying to myself you know what I'm saying I should be able to do that you you see what I'm saying bro don't let nobody peer pressure you into a box don't let nobody peer pressure you into doing something that you don't want to do once you do that you lose your freedom once you do that you lose the power that God has given you to make decisions

as long as it ain't hurting nobody you deserve to make the decisions that you want to make so you got to stand on that and like I said on top of that don't allow disrespect set those boundaries set those boundaries for friends and peers that don't really deserve to be in your life they not trying to elevate their life why are they around you you trying to elevate you got time to babysit nobody what's wrong with you people got to be on your same level people got to be on your same energy people got to

Warner this bad as you you feel what I'm saying bro I I can't be around people that's not trying to elevate that's not trying to self-improve that man man get that out of here man number seven possess unwavering confidence not arrogance but deep belief in your worth and abilities it's magnetic I'm outside right now you don't think people around here people walk back and forth people working outside people looking at me I'm confident it doesn't mean I'm better than anybody it doesn't mean that I'm cocky it means that I'm confident in my abilities to perform

I'm confident in my abilities to do what I'm good at to do what God blessed me to do I'm confident in me I'm confident in my abilities I'm confident in the man that God made me to be and y'all got to be confident in yourselves if I told y'all to go out in public and record a video in front of 100 people could y'all do it probably not that has to change and how do you do that start sparking conversations with people in public if you going out to buy groceries start sparking conversation with the

person that's ringing up your groceries they are a human being they're not an NPC start talking to people right start start acknowledging people you see what I'm saying because how we expect people to acknowledge us if we don't acknowledge them you see we can't blame people for acting a certain way when you act that way too we got to be the ones to break the cycle introduce your you feel what I'm saying ain't no reason for you to be scared talking to somebody they scared too bro period they scared too okay number eight God Yahweh

it's important to have faith I ain't going to tell you what to believe in that's not what this channel is about but I'm going tell you this right now bro if you don't got a relationship with God life is going to be tough for you you know me personally I look at a lot of the a lot of the greats a lot of the great prophets whether it's King David you know I I just read these stories man and I try to understand and get a better grasp for the type of man that I need

to be and the type of man I need to be is a God-fearing man I tell you that right now without God I wouldn't be here right now without God I wouldn't be the half the man that I am I wouldn't be no man at all I wouldn't even be here period so it's important to have a relationship with God because when things go wrong God can help you make things go right when things not going your way God can make you hop on on his plan and make it yah way I don't think y'all

heard me but things not going your way when you you have a relationship with God you can hop on his plan and it becomes Yahweh you feel what I'm saying so praise to Lord praise to God and it's important to build a relationship with God there's many low points in my life where I looked to God and he was there for me and what's important as men when we become successful and we begin to reach the goals that we actually want for ourselves we got to also turn to God when we when we when we

there too we got to turn to God when we make our dreams and goals come true because it wouldn't have came true without him and the problem is this is my theory there's a lot of rich people in the world and the reason why there's not more rich people is because God has realized that a lot of these rich folk once they're rich they forgot all about me once they're rich they run the money and not me and that's why money is so hard for people you know it's important to understand no matter how much

money you got it's God that gave it to you no matter how successful you are it's God that gave you that no matter how powerful you are it's God that gave you that no matter what platform you have it's God that gave you that it's God that gave me for Purpose Driven Man yeah I turned on the camera I turned on the video but if that man gave me life then he has given me everything that comes with life the UPS the Downs the whole experience cuz he put me here so shout out to him

number nine a grown man habit that God learn too late you need to communicate more assertively not aggressively not passive you express your needs and wants directly and respectfully it's important to understand that we don't want people to just listen to us and hear us we want people to understand us so when I tell y'all that I want y'all to be successful and you guys have to do a b and and C I'm not going to say well you know maybe you'll be successful if you do this no I know you'll be successful when you

put in discipline and consistency it's about how you annunciate your words and how you pronunciate your words but most importantly it's about do you believe what you're saying I believe it cuz I see it I've reached a particular level of success because of the goals that I set for myself and once I became more disciplined and consistent then I started to see it so I believe when I say that and because I believe what I say I come off more assertive I come off more real I come off more genuine I come off more authentic

so at the end of the day these are these are the the behaviors that y'all got to be doing you can't just you can't be passive you can't let people just talk all over you you can't be whispering huh what I think about going to the gym you thinking about going to the gym and you Whispering it you not going but when you start to speak to yourself you say I am going to the gym I am going to work out oh it's a whole different feeling it's a whole different feeling and I don't know

about you but this is a whole whole different video this is top tier cream of the crop I know this changeed somebody life I know this going to inspire you to go hard I know that y'all needed to hear this I love y'all I appreciate y'all for watching we're Purpose Driven Man man you feel what I'm saying so be on your purpose and be driven bro it's simple let's go like so said what's so Illuminati said it's simple [Music]
