Turning boy mentality Into strong men mentality
I think every 13yo should go through these 13 weeks of boot camp before entering high school.

OMG, you send these kids to high school after thisā¦all that nonsense about gettting bullied by the big kids is gonna come to an end on day 1. You can bet on it.
There are a few programs like this nowadays. Fathers and sons can do it together en masse.
Also, a father can do this 1-on-1 with his son.
There are men who have created their own tests and rites of passage for their sons. The activities are tailored by each father, and each year or so, the boy receives knowledge and different tests.
For example, one guy made his little boy hike up a mountain with a weighted backpack. The boy cried along the way and asked his father to carry the weight for him, but he refused. When the boy reached the top, he felt so proud of himself. The boy and the father had a talk about growing older and whatās expected of him as a boy who is aging.
Iāve never gone skydiving. I think I underestimate how crazy this must feel.
Brave men, they are!
Do think thereās any difference between signing up for boot camp vs doing your own personal type of boot camp?
Such as Jordan Petersonās 12 Rules of Life. You get a book like this, for example, and you start rebuilding yourself stronger.
A big difference is if you do it on your own, you get to decide when you want to do it, and you might get lazy and start taking days off or not finishing for that day, however, if you go to boot camp, you have a strict schedule and cannot take a break until you finish, pushing you thru those hard days you might want to quit
Thatās a good point. They set certain standards and expectations, and keeping up with the group can help you to push forward.

Today, AD is welcomed by NBA All-Star Jimmy Butler to tour his epic mansion in Southern California.
Yup. Weāve seen this in present times as well as in history so many times.
One of manās greatest weaknesses is of the flesh. Men think they have discipline, and they accomplish great things.
All it takes is for one pretty gal to bat her eyelashes, and the entire empire crumbles.
A man who cannot be manipulated is free.
Goggins said something to the like of, āIf youāre working harder than me, Iām not gonna say anything. But Iām gonna outwork you, and Iām gonna make sure you see me. Youāll see me on the news, or someone talking about it on the internet.ā
Imagine the determination is takes to tell someone youāre gonna beat him, and thereās nothing he can do about it.
Never be a prisoner of your past, it was just a lesson, not a life sentence
Dust yourself off and keep going!
