Really enjoyed your post as it is helping me in the writing of my manifesto. I’ve never done anything like this before and your article gave me insight. I am a storyteller and is different in putting my thoughts together and writing like this.

I wrote a post on my site called “Shifts and Changes — Being Real” and wanted to let you know I included in it links to this post and your site.

Thank you Zach for sharing your personal challenges, motives, intentions and what is important to you.

A manifesto, I think, is probing one’s soul for absolutes. Once established the matter of doubt grows smaller; therefore, setting in place a plan to act upon. It is likewise introspection. One may discover their suppositions are false, clearing a path for correction. A very powerful idea indeed

A great start in writing your manifesto would be to complete the “30 Days to a Better Man” challenge presented on AoM.

Maybe it can be a little controversial, but you could find interesting this Invictus inspired comic http://zenpencils.com/comic/william-ernest-henley-invictus/

This makes me think of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective people :)

I agree that manifestos can be life-changing. It really helps me on a day-to-day basis when dealing with situations; rather than react, I can choose how I respond to events by referencing my values and principles as outlines in my manifesto.

“Twitching with Twight” by Mark Twight is a perfect example. A visceral call to arms and a demand to reevaluate how men have become soft. He wrote it with climbing in mind, but the lessons he expounds have influenced how I live.

Great post! I need something like this to cut through the noise of everyday to get see my larger goals. Here’s what mine will look like:
I will:
work when I’m working, playing while I’m playing, and rest while I’m resting;
summon the inner strength to avoid petty conflicts with my competitiors;
be kind;
fully express my love;
never fake an orgasm;
remain wild, curious, and relentlessly pursue my goals;
LIVE, not be a spectator in my own goings on; …..ect
