Ascolta! When you allow the flame of ambition to fade within you, you tend to focus on petty and foolish matters that do not belong to an adult. In other words, the moment you abandon your commitment to grand goals, out of idleness, you end up getting involved in trivialities, thus diminishing your own manhood. Without responsibilities inherent to a grown man, you’ll end up acting like a boy in every aspect of your life, including relationships.

A person truly determined to succeed in life has neither time nor desire to engage in matters of insecurity, jealousy, or fear of abandonment.

Love, as romanticized, is often a dangerous illusion that leads us into foolish and self-destructive behaviors. The romantic ideal, spread by poets and dreamers, makes us vulnerable to manipulation and disappointment.

A man aware of his own worth keeps his focus on what truly matters, and because he understands the importance of his priorities, that is enough.

Weakness does not inspire confidence. In a world where strength and determination are essential for survival and success, showing weakness is akin to signing one’s own sentence of irrelevance. A man must be the foundation on which the relationship stands. He should be the unwavering rock amid life’s storms. Life is a game of power and influence, and those who don’t know how to play are destined to fail.

Take care of yourself. Strengthen your body, your mind, and your spirit. Be an example of determination and courage. The woman by your side should see in you a leader, a visionary, someone destined for great achievements. Only then will you earn not only her respect and admiration but also control over your own destiny.
