"Kindness is not weakness. Its restrained strength"      How should we as men self-evaluate? As leaders of our homes & family, we need to be constantly aware of our influence (Kids and Wives). Why do we, as men, struggle in this area of our lives? Selfishness is the advisory of love. It starts with humility. As men, we shouldn't need to be taught humility, we should be modeling it. Produced By Fritz @ GSR Podcast Productions thebattlepodcast@gmail.com 

As men, why must we watch our words? Silence can be viewed as a negative or weakness, Why do we stay silent? Where can we find the words to build and empower?  Stats:  -600,000 words in the human language -171,146 in English -200 single words to motivate -235 single discouraging words         Produced By Fritz @ GSR Podcast Productions

Second Amendment                                                             "A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." We do have the right to bear arms. What is the 2nd amendment?  Why do people blame guns and not people? 100% of guns don't kill people. People using guns, kill people. We should make sure we educate, train, and not hide firearms, from our children. As the leaders of our homes, we are responsible to educate our families about the proper way to use and handle a firearm. Produced By Fritz @ GSR Podcast Productions thebattlepodcast@gmail.com

      What's the difference men, between, a Lion and a Sheep? Be prepared to have opposition (sheep don't like lions) Just because you're aggressive doesn't mean you're toxic.

Why do we tend to hold onto shit? We refuse to let it go, and it causes separation and isolation. Forgiveness is designed to heal us, not others.

Men, there is a time to hold on, and a time to let it go. Why do we hold on so tight to things we can't have? Why are we so willing to let go of the things we do have?  Not all battles are worth fighting, you don't have to participate in every argument you are invited to.  Sometimes we lose when we win, and win when we lose. Walking away isn't always a sign of weakness, it can be a sign of strength. and remember we aren't always right. thebattlepodcast@gmail.com Produced By Fritz @ GSR Podcast Productions gsrpodcastproductions@gmail.com

We as men are slowly learning that even if I react, it won't change anything, it won't make people suddenly love and respect me, it won't magically change their minds. Sometimes It's better to just let things be, let people go, don't fight for closure, don't ask for explanations, don't chase answers, and don't expect people to understand the decisions you make. Stand up, Man up, and own the responsibility for who you are as a man.thebattlepodcast@gmail.comProduced By Fritz @ GSR Podcast Productions

WALLS - Not only do people create physical walls, but also we have been known to put up invisible walls to keep other people, different ideas, and even new ways of doing things from interfering with our daily routines.Refusing to listen to others, denying compromise on the nonessentials, and displaying selfish stubbornness can sometimes lead to “wall building” between individuals, family members, and friends.Produced By Fritz @ GSR Podcast Productions

Vision - is the act or power of seeing; it is also an idea, an image, a dream of possibility for the future. Vision is the ability to imagine and use our imagination to dream. Vision also makes suffering and disappointment bearable because it gives us hope. Vision inspires the depressed and motivates the discouraged. We exist for a reason; an important step to fulfilling our reason for existence is understanding.Refuge creative APRIL 2, 2020 Produced By Fritz @ GSR Podcast Productions
