The things that hurt, instruct
Benjamin Franklin

Badass 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.

SELF-DISCIPLINE
# THREE

Self-discipline involves training to follow the rules, keep within the boundaries. Discipline of the emotions and the mind, to correct and corral them so as to rule over them. Without discipline we are vulnerable and susceptible to a breach of our personhood. Discipline will involve unpleasantness at times, pain, and grittiness. It mentors us to not give in to our emotions, what we think, desires, and temptations or the soft way. It is always a struggle in the mind to take charge over the body and our feelings. We must break unhealthy patterns of quitting or giving up. Only we are responsible to govern our own life, bringing our thoughts under control. The practice of discipline makes us sharper, better, and stronger. It is taking control. We choose to give in, compromise when life gets rough and tough. Discipline is the pathway to habits and habits helps us establish routines that define who we are. Without discipline we become weak and susceptible to be influenced from people, ideas, and things that bring us little worth on our quest to being the best version of ourselves. Men who demonstrate this BAD ASS VIRTUE, are able to withstand and resist attack.
