The Contemporary Man Magazine june 2018
The Contemporary Man THE MISSION: is Hoping to become one of the world's most popular men's lifestyle magazine. includes monthly features on subjects such as fashion, fitness, dating, money and entertainment. Tips from style on choosing a new suit to workout advice on modernizing tired fitness routines complement editorial features on relationships, finance and entertainment. It is my life’s mission to transform the lives of MEN through my programs and books as well through my information online. I want to see you succeed. Words such as honor, loyalty, trust, integrity, and courage are words that have powerful meanings, but they are only words unless you live by them. As I talk with other men, I can see that there is a massive need for learning how to be a better father. But I’ve also seen a need for reliable and honorable men outside of the home. Guys, we’re losing the meaning of manhood. We’ve gone away from being reliable, rugged, independent, and tough to a collection of wimpy, dependent, whiners. Something has got to be done! “Some say there is no such thing as an Alpha made Man’s man. That nothing can be accomplished in life without the help of others. That a man cannot reach his goals without assistance. And while that may be true, these people are not the source or the cause of his success. A man becomes an Alpha made the moment he decides to shape his world, rather than be formed by it. It is a spark… A decision… An internal will that can never be given by another and that can never be purchased or borrowed. At that moment, he becomes the sole architect and artist of his life - an Alpha made Man’s man, where the rest of the world serves as the hammer and chisel he wields in order to shape it to his desire. The Contemporary Man was created for men who want to achieve greatness. Who wants to leave their mark on the world, and create a legacy of honor, integrity, and achievement in every aspect of their lives.” -Travis S. Miller Editor-in-Chief/Founder of the Contemporary Man.

<strong>The</strong> healthy way to provide an example for a child is to be the example for your child. Be<br />
there physically. Be there mentally. Get your own house in order. Get your stuff situated<br />
so that when your boy comes to you with some challenges, or you recognize them in<br />
him, you can do something about it.<br />
If you can't get yourself right because you're fat, or overweight, or out of shape, or you<br />
have abuse issues, or your financial situation isn't in order, or you're depressed, or<br />
you're not doing the things that you know you should be doing, how in the world are you<br />
ever going to provide what that young man needs in his life? How are you going to be<br />
the beacon he needs? How are you going to have the capacity to sit down, shoulder to<br />
shoulder, with your son and say, "You know what, I recognize something's not right bud.<br />
How can I help you? Here's what I did. Here's what I have experienced. Here's what I<br />
went through. Here's how I dealt with the things when I was wrong, or when I was off, or<br />
when I was going through what you are going through right now." You can't do that if you<br />
haven't fixed yourself first.<br />
Get yourself right, guys – emotionally as well. And that's the last component I wanted<br />
to talk about here. Be available, emotionally. A lot of us have this macho/"alpha" idea of<br />
what it means to be a man. But it's okay to express your emotions. Being happy is okay.<br />
Being sad is okay. It's okay to cry. Being an emotional person is okay. You are a human<br />
being. We don't need to hide our emotions. We don't always need to express them,<br />
either. <strong>The</strong>re needs to be a healthy balance between the way that we use our feelings to<br />
serve us and those that we must help.<br />
So, when you recognize in your son that he’s dealing with a difficult time, whether he got<br />
rejected, failed the test, got cut from the team, went to a party, been exposed to<br />
pornography, got into drugs and alcohol, you can be empathetic to what he’s going<br />
through. You can be there the way that he needs you to be there so that he takes these<br />
experiences – positive and negative – and uses every single one of them to be a<br />
contributing member of this society.<br />
Be there. Be present as a father.<br />
<strong>The</strong> last thing I want to talk about is fathering other boys in the community. You have<br />
a responsibility for that, as do I. I see a lot of guys who are great with their kids, and yet<br />
when you ask them to volunteer to coach a sports team or to step up in sort of<br />
leadership capacity, or serve in some young men's type organization, they won't do it, or<br />
they can't do it.<br />
That's a problem. You are not just the father in your home, but you are also a fatherfigure<br />
in the community. You have an obligation to your community. You have a<br />
responsibility to your community. It's not enough to father your home, you've got to<br />
father the community. That's our job. That's our responsibility.<br />
If there's an opportunity for you to coach your son's team, take it. Not only is that a<br />
chance to forge a new bond with him, but it's also an opportunity to form a unique<br />
relationship with 20 other kids who need your help because they're not growing up<br />
without fathers, because their dads aren't listening to this podcast, because their dads
Change language
