Men.. Stand Up and Show Out.. | For a Man

For a Man to see himself to be great, He once has to find himself. As Men we all walk the path that we think will improve our way of life, quality of being and measuring our goals by the among of success we’ve received. Where, What and When does our success begin as a man, that doesn’t give back to others. We think we live better based on the money we have in our account, the cars and houses we contain. But truth is, are you happy. 

Having the women, clothes, and the American Dream, while others around you are looking up to you.  Men that wear the Mask forget Who and what was taught to us as we grew up or growing up. Didn’t Jesus give to those that didn’t have, the one in prison, the lame, and those  in pain. “God’s word” told us to love our neighbor like we love ourselves. Give to those that don’t have.

There are a few men that stood up for what they believe for our freedom, for educations, for our life, but we forget that. How do we as Men give back so that those that looks up at us Men, a better opportunity and the advancement of an quality life to share with others.  Women have shown and proved in today’s world, life is about empowerment each other while working closely together to doing anything and stand up for it now and later. While we as Men sit around and let them do it and we will get to it later. 

I read the Miseducated Negro, But it should be read the Miseducation Man, The one that didn’t stand up for something or they believes. Leaders are failing by the waste side, we are short and few, So where are you (men)?  

“Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.” 
― Martin Luther King Jr., Letter from Birmingham City Jail

Ask yourself this two questions, As a Men what have I Stood Up for, and What will I Stand for?  Do we stand up for Domestic Violence, or Homelessness, or better yet Education for the youth?  So many things, like mentoring boys or giving back to girl’s groups? Do we support our Home when we work so hard to support the bills and not the time that is needed as Father, Husband, Brother, Uncle, Grandfather. So what do you Stand Up for? Peace, Family, Hungry, or Life.

The idea behind Men Stand Up and Show blog is show Men that Stands Up for something.   Malcolm X  stated, “If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything.” 
 

We must find ourselves to Stand Up and Show Out, to be Great!  Who is with me?
