With topics like this, it is important to communicate with kindness, concrete concepts, and the right words, yet we must understand how serious the presence of others is and the repercussions they bring into our lives. The very first step is not to judge others, but to recognize where exactly you are standing by choice. Relationships at the most significant levels include family members, friends, and romantic partners. With friends and partners, I beg you to be very discerning. Unlike family, whom we know for life, these are people who often appear out of the blue; pay close attention to the environment, conditions, and activities in which you meet them. We do not get to choose the family into which we are born, but through the friendships and other relationships including romantic ones, as professional relationships we choose, we demonstrate our nature and our ability to discern. Let us be clear: sometimes friends, romantic partners, and even family members have to go if their influence is not good, if they cause pain, or if they represent evil.

Life is a very short experience, and we typically become that which we allow to influence us—what we follow and what we desire. In the times we live in, we are bombarded by an overwhelming amount of content, ideas, and visions of life that do not belong to us and, more importantly, do not belong to God. Unfortunately, a large percentage of humans have accepted the false concept that a “good life” is defined merely by economic status or social position. We are told to admire a life surrounded by wealth, desired by many, and displaying a constant cycle of partying, drugs, alcohol, expensive cars, mansions, and indecency. We are taught to set this hollow existence as the goal for our future.

Before fear softens you, before comfort kills your instincts, and before excuses become your personality, remember this: you were not designed to be weak or fragile. You were designed by God with intention, virtue, and responsibility. That truth alone terrifies the modern world because if a man recognizes he was designed, he must also admit he was designed for something serious. He was made to be strong, intelligent, virtuous, kind, and powerful when needed—a protector and a provider. A man must comply with his duty, and sacrifices must be made for the right things to happen in the short time he has been given to live a life worth living.

The Difference Between Virtue + Knowledge and Confidence + Belief

We live in times in which noticing the difference between what has a base—what is real and true—is becoming a great problem. "Virtue" is only acquired by the disciplined and pragmatic one; by that person who can open their eyes to what is true, who is capable of accepting reality, and who does not have a view of the world based on what is convenient. Virtue is a mix of knowledge put into practice in real-time. With that discipline, experience and wisdom become an adjective for the human who puts himself to the task, commitment, constancy, and effort required to say, "I am capable of doing it." And it is very important to say: "That which is worth understanding is never simple."

Inject knowledge into your brain and consciousness into your heart. You can talk to me in your prayers, but you will solve problems with knowledge and discipline.

There is no virtue on being “Weak and/or Ignorant”

There is no virtue on being “Weak and/or Ignorant”

There is no virtue in being "Weak and/or Ignorant."

Starting with that phrase, I think the message is clear: as human beings, we have a moral obligation to ourselves to become humans of value. Value does not come from material things; value comes from virtue. A human with a healthy mind and body can be a person of strong character, intellectual power, and physical ability—first to secure a decent life and protect themselves, and then to protect others. When a human decides to become strong, and acts consciously, it becomes clear to them that strength is not merely physical. Strength is also knowledge, skill, character, and the ability to be a person of integrity based on what is good, true, and deserving of respect.

In the times we are facing, we need to be as pragmatic as possible: accept reality as it is, not as you want it to be. Evaluate yourself and recognize that which creates chaos, inconvenience, or pain for others or yourself. Stop self-censorship. In order to solve problems and fix situations that require immediate attention from all involved parties, we need to speak the truth and face it with real virtue, using proper tools and responsible, coherent behavior. To see the truth—no matter how painful it sometimes is—opens our eyes to the solution. Reality by nature has no obligation to be kind or gentle; reality is the simple truth, and it simply is what it is. If you are facing hard times, be ready to be efficient with no excuses. "Because when things get heavy, we should not wait for the weight to be carried; we must carry the weight." It is the only way.

We are living in a world where being well financially, mentally, and spiritually has become a challenge. In order to keep our lives in order, we need to be careful about what and who influences us. Activities and people can contaminate the good nature of our character and disciplines; therefore, we must remain guardians of our soul, mind, and well-being by not allowing influences or people with bad customs, disciplines, or practices to destroy what may have taken us years to build...

"A man reaps what he sows"

With that quote, we can see that for thousands of years, man has understood the value of time, the necessity of action, and the simple fact that we all die. For this reason, to be happy and at peace, we must be laser-focused on our goals. We must use our time with the right sense of urgency for what we want to happen in our lives within the time life grants us.

Reality, Responsibility, and the Courage to Live

This is an article to be read not merely with the eyes, but with the heart. It is a call to open our eyes to the disarray that surrounds us, and rather than complaining or seeking excuses to evade our duty, to push ourselves to put our hands to work. We must act with intention to forge a better reality—one that requires fixing, one that transcends the "SELF." We must take action for ourselves and, more importantly, for those to whom we dare to say, "I love you." As the Apostle John admonished: “Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.” (1 John 3:18).
