TAKING THE LEAD, A MAN'S DANCE TO THE TOP chapt 1

AS MEN WE ALL ASSUME DIFFERENT ROLES IN LIFE. THESE ROLES HOWEVER DO NOT DEFINE US, BUT THEY DO MAKE UP OUR ROAD TO SUCCESS. ITS FUNNY YOU CAN LOOK ON A CORNER ANY GIVEN DAY AND SEE A STRUGGLING MOTHER ON THE BUS STOP. SHE HAS KIDS STANDING BESIDE HER. YOU DON'T THINK ABOUT IT BUT ITS HER ROUTINE. SHE HAS TO DO WHAT SHE HAS TO DO. WHICH MAY INCLUDE GETTING UP AT 5AM , GETTING HER KIDS READY FOR SCHOOL AND DAY CARE, GETTING ON THE BUS, DROPPING THEM OFF AND HEADING TO WORK. ONLY TO PULL 8 HOURS PLUS MANDATORY OVERTIME, AND DO THE EXACT SAME THING WHILE HEADING HOME. IS THIS A REALITY? WELL OF COURSE IT IS. AND MANY MEN STAND BY AND WATCH THIS SHIT DEVELOP. WHY IS THE QUESTION. IS IT OUT OF FEAR OR PURE LAZINESS. I MEAN LETS BE REAL, YOU FUCKED HER, THE SEX WAS GREAT, BUT WHEN THE BABY CAME YOU DECIDED SHE WASN'T WORTH THE FIVE SECONDS OF FAME THAT CAUSED YOU TO HAVE THE CHILDREN IN THE FIRST PLACE. AND AS MEN IS THIS ACCEPTABLE. HAS THIS BECOME THE STANDARD. FOR US TO BECOME WEEKEND FATHERS AND BIRTHDAY DADS. WHAT THE FUCK? LOOK WITHIN YOURSELF. ASK YOURSELF WHY THIS IS. ARE YOU A MAN THAT IS SO DIFFERENT THAN THE DRUG DEALER ON THE CORNER WHO CUTS DOWN A 1/4 COCAIN ONLY TO BREAK IT INTO SMALL PIECES TO MAKE A G-PACK, TO TRY TO BREAK EVEN. ARE YOU SO DIFFERENT THAN THE GUY WHO IS WITH A GIRL RAISING HER KIDS WHILE IGNORING YOUR OWN AND WATCHING THEM FADE INTO EXSISTENCE. YES WHAT IS THE STANDARD. WELL THE WAY I VIEW IT IS AS MEN WE MUST EXCEED THE STANDARD AT ALL COSTS. IT IS OUR DUTY TO DO SO, OUR PURPOSE. THIS IS A ROLE THAT WE MUST ASSUME AS FATHERS , AS LIFE PARTNERS AS WE ARE HUSBANDS TO OUR WIVES, AND MOST OF ALL ADULTS AS WE GROW FROM KIDS TO MEN. STAY TUNE NEXT CHAPTER PEOPLE.
