Chivalry Revival

As God-fearing men in the great country of America, we have allowed ourselves and our standards of how we should be operating to slip subpar. It is our responsibility to take the initiative needed to protect our family and teach them right from wrong, ESPECIALLY when society has a biased stance on particular subjects. We have to be the ones to no longer remain passive just because it's what all the other good little consumers and neighbors are doing. At what point is your family's safety more important than keeping up with the Joneses? At the point in which YOU say you will NOT allow it to happen with your house! At what point does your discomfort become so unbearable that you finally demand the respect you should have been receiving all along? Have you also been giving that same level of respect?

We have to be the ones to teach our children the lessons we want them to learn and carry throughout their lives and pass on to people they encounter and eventually their families they build. We must set the examples of what character pillars of excellence means through our own actions as a role model for our children. As the head of our house, we as men are in control of how we need to guide our family through life and navigate situations with integrity that build quality experiences for our youth to rely on. If all they are ever taught is to do what everyone else is doing because we're too afraid to confront an issue directly or do the right thing even when nobody is watching, we will remain a country in fear and disrespect will only continue to grow. 

The actions we choose to take take today as parents to our young children will forever shape their character and form them into the human beings they will inevitably becoming in just 1 or 2 short decades at most. So many kids in sports need to be taught there is so much more to winning the game than having the best score: discipline, character, responsibility, teamwork. The lessons learned while playing the sport are far greater achievements than winning a game by whatever means necessary. There should be a sense of pride in what we represent and are capable of when we do the hard and difficult things. We have to take care of what is happening within our home before we worry about anything else happening outside of it. Be present and spend time with the people we love. Teach them to be good human beings by stepping up and reviving the traditions like integrity, honor, respect, and chivalry in everyday actions and situations.
