"If unwilling to rise in the morning, say to thyself, 'I awake to do the work of a man.'" -- Marcus Aurelius
Imagine what your day would look like if you woke up saying to yourself, "I need to get up and do the work of a man today."
I wonder what many guy's lives would look like if that is what got them out of bed, if that vision is what led them through their day and if that sentiment was on their mind as they closed their eyes at the day's end, "Today, I did the work of a man."
The work of a man is fulfilling the responsibilities in keeping with masculinity. It is noble work. It is hard. It is made for men and men were made for it. It is more difficult than what a boy would do and requires more of a man that what he would do by default, but it is the work that God has put men on earth here to do.
The dirty, difficult, worthy work of being a man.
