As men, we take our LUMPS. Work piles up. The honey-do list grows. Sometimes it can be daunting. But, we train for this. We don’t BOAST about how we’re handling the CRAP life throws at us. Instead, we face the challenges head-on with our heads high. We keep going, showing resilience and grit, even when things aren’t going our way. You may not think people notice what you do, but we do. We see the work you are doing to get better and your effort will make you stronger – ready for the next thing life hurls at you. Keep going, brother. You’re built for this.
Aye!
