What does it mean to be a man? What traits are associated with masculinity?

Strength

Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.

~Arnold Schwarzenegger

Courage

It is courage, courage, courage, that raises the blood of life to crimson splendor. Live bravely and present a brave front to adversity.

-Horace

Independence

A man can stand a lot as long as he can stand himself.

~ Axel Munthe

Leadership

Leadership is not Lordship. It’s service. It’s helping. It’s influence.

Assertiveness

To be assertive works best if not tied with arrogance. It’s okay to demand justice and truth. It’s okay to stand for what’s right. It’s okay to ask for a raise, or expect your family to obey you. This must be balanced with humility and integrity, or it’s just another jerk spouting off.

Vision

“Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others.” Jonathan Swift

“A great leader’s courage to fulfill his vision comes from passion, not position.” John Maxwell

Integrity

The root word of “integrity” is “integer” – which means “whole”
If you have integrity – you are whole – not fractured by character flaws.

Brotherhood

Men are the best they can be when they are together. A better man has brothers in his life. A better man craves brotherhood, from which he not only benefits, but contributes.
