Bad ass virtues represent those virtues we as men need to embrace, forge into our lives, honor, and replicate in younger men as well as sharpen each other with. These are the virtues that require the crucible for refining the dross, purifying strength, courage, confidence, resilience, and depth of character. This is what makes them bad ass because they will break us and reshape us on the anvil. They will never be easy to conquer but conquer we must. We must awaken these lost masculine virtues in each one of us and become them allowing them to define us. They give definition to our masculinity a frame, a reference, a routine, a map of true manhood north unleashing our masculine power.

BUST YOUR BUTT

# SIX

Get the job done, whatever it demands. You must put in the hard, laborious work others refuse to do because of their laziness, greediness, narcissism, or entitlement attitude that is rampant in the culture with no redeeming value. Why be afraid to demand more, to give more? We all have lazy days, days we don’t want to do anything or get involved. Those too are days you must bust your butt because there is nothing redeeming in laziness or entitlement or wanting others to serve you. We need to call out vigilant discipline. Committed to ease is never something to desire or embody. Of course, it’s going to be hard, difficult, and frustrating at times but when it’s done you have inner satisfaction of beating the damn thing. It will take pluck, don’t give-up or give-in attitude, self-discipline, and resolve to ascend, crushing it. It’s the drive to bust your butt in your job, marriage, parenting, relationships, your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. And don’t forget you must be diligent to put in the hustle intensity of leading yourself in forming the best you. This habit and routine of putting in the effort, the extra-long hours, completing the task, to keep pushing through, will pay dividends in the long game. Men who demonstrate this BAD ASS VIRTUE, develop drive and fortitude.
