A boy seeks excitement.

A man seeks responsibility.

The journey between them matters.

Every man was once a boy.

Curious.

Hopeful.

Adventurous.

Certain the world was waiting for him.

Then life happened.

Successes.

Failures.

Victories.

Losses.

Lessons.

THE CROSSROADS

Some boys grow older.

Others become men.

There is a difference.

WORTHY NOTE

Age creates older people.

Responsibility creates men.

THE INVITATION

A man eventually discovers that life is not about what he can take.

It is about what he can build.

Protect.

Provide.

Teach.

Leave behind.

THE TEST

Can you be counted on?

Can your word be trusted?

Can others build their future upon your character?

These questions matter.

PUT LEGS ON IT

Show up.

Do the work.

Keep your promises.

Help someone carry their burden.

Lead yourself before trying to lead others.

RICHIE’S OBSERVATION

The finest men I have known were not perfect.

They were dependable.

THE REWARD

A meaningful life is built one responsible choice at a time.

Not one dramatic moment.

FINAL THOUGHT

A boy dreams of adventure.

A man becomes one.
