Men's Coaching, Men's Work and Personal Development Tools & Resources for Smart, Evolving Men

The ten commitments of Manhood if practiced, will greatly increase the quality of your life.

Maybe these can replace the ten commandments. Why are people following rules that someone wrote that long ago? WTF?

Let these be commitments you make in order to be a revolutionary man and more importantly, to be the kind of man you are capable of being.

Every few days I will post one of these commitments until we reach 10 (or maybe 15). I strongly recommend posting the commitments in a location where you can see them every day.

Make it a daily practice to review your commitments. Remember these are commitments you make to yourself, not to some higher power, God, or authority figure. If they don’t fit for you exactly, tweak them.

If you wish, bring these into your men’s group and use them as discussion topics and accountability measures.

I am the captain of my own ship. I commit to trusting my own experience above all else. No one holds the authority on me but me. I commit to being true to myself above anyone and anything.

Commitment 3.

I commit to being the man I am capable of being. I am done being comfortable, safe, secure and complacent. No more hiding. I commit to get out of the bleachers and into the game. I am no longer willing to be a spectator to my own life.

I commit to growing myself up. When someone else pissed me off or hurts me and I regress into acting like a teenage boy or little boy, I commit to learning how to be less reactive and develop more mastery.

Commitment 5.

I commit to telling the truth and living in my own integrity.  I commit to being my own man, not someone else’s. I commit to stop my caretaking of others (different than caring for others), and to stop being so nice.  I’m a “yes” to whatever arises out of me speaking and living my truth.

Commitment 7

I commit to cleaning up my past. Wrongs I made, crimes I committed and others whom I have hurt. I commit to updating my files on myself and others. If I thought someone was an asshole 10 years ago, it doesn’t’ t mean they are an asshole still. If I hated myself as a kid, it doesn’t mean I have to continue hating myself now.

Commitment 9

I commit to finding a mentor ASAP and not doing life “alone.” I commit to always having a mentor in my life–someone I trust, respect, and want to learn from in areas where I need guidance. Then, I commit to becoming a mentor to other men.

Commitment 10

I vow to live with an open heart even if it hurts.
