Sometimes the most difficult thing is telling apart genuine mentors from know-alls on ego trips or with personal agendas.

You have summed up the message of The Genuine Men Project. Simple, yet powerful: it is how a man meets his challenges and carries his experiences that makes him a positive male role model. We can all learn from the stories of men.

Great post.

A quote that sums that up is “persist UNTIL you succeed.” Most people forget the “persist” part (which I don’t quite understand – although it might make sense to some).

I like this one. Somewhere along my short life I picked up on adage that half of success lies in your belief in it, which breeds confidence. This article could not be more truthful.

I’ll have to think well on this one; I’m hoping I can make good use of it. Thanks, Brett!

Good inspiration on how we overcome adversity, almost without thinking about it. I’ve been thinking a lot about the role of adversity in life: there are people who see it as obstacles to life, and others (like me) who see it as an important part of life: how you respond to the “bad” things helps define the quality of your entire life.

Heavy thinking for a Sunday, I know…

i like the article, especially the part about how we tend to overcome seemingly insurmountable tasks because we will not accept defeat, but that we oftentimes fail when confronted with a lesser obstacle.

Shorter version: don’t have self-limiting beliefs, better to err on the side of overconfidence.

Nice article. From how I interpret the article, consistency (by thought or taking action after action) to achieving a goal is the key
