The Man In The Arena Podcast by Masculine To The CORE
Masculine To The CORE empowers men on their masculine journey of self-mastery through personal development, professional development, and spiritual development.

Tonight at the Camp Fire we talked about Commitment.The above statement covers 3 of the 5 we will discuss. At Masculine To The CORE, CORE is an acronym for men who are(C)ommitted(O)ptimistic(R)esilientand (E)mpowered.Truth is men are committed til the sh** gets hard. Then they look for an excuse and fold like a cheap suit.Being a man who is committed to his marriage....even when it is hard, is a challenge.As is being a committed father..... being the spiritual guide for your family... that's hard too.Committed to your career and your business.... yep, that's hard.
How about to your commitment to God?
Have you even made one that is much past your occasional trip to church or your vain attempt at a foxhole prayer when you are in a jamb?Most men suck at commitment.... but you are here because you are not most men.I am committed, how about you?
Enjoy! Mark
