We live in an overloaded society. We are overloaded with information and options. This can distract us as men from focusing on what is most important in our lives. In order to do this, we must learn to walk a different kind of road: Our Personal Narrow Road. This happens when we choose to live differently. We decide to figure out what is important to us and what we should focus on. This is a hard process, but men have always stepped up when things are hard. Let's understand what the narrow road is and how it can help us as men.

The Narrow Road Concept

  • The narrow road is important for men because of our tendency to want to "do it all"
  • We must focus our life and purpose as men in a narrow way or we will be distracted from our purpose
  • Deciding to live the narrow road is to lighten your own load in life
  • To live a life that isn't as stressful because you are not trying to do everything
  • The narrow road is hard because we have to deal with our own motivations and inner issues

The Benefits of the Narrow Road

  • The narrow road life helps us define our true purpose as men
  • To live a narrow road life means we have to know our purpose
  • Men who don't know their purpose will run after everything
  • Men who are seeking validation cannot live on purpose
  • Purpose acts like glasses to narrow your focus
  • You may have desires to do specific things, but the timing may not be right
  • The narrow road tells us where to put our time and energy
  • When you make the decision about what is most important you are automatically prioritizing

Questions for the Narrow Road?

  • No man is like you and you are not like any other man
  • People can assist and help, but in the end, we have to cut our own trail in the jungle of life
  • Taking responsibility for our life as men means we are focusing on what we CAN do no matter the situation or what's been done to us
  • What is Our Reality?
  • What Roles Do We Have?
  • What Season of Life are We In?
  • What is Most Natural?
