Most men aren’t destroyed by sin.
They’re destroyed by avoidance.

By fantasies that let them delay.
By distractions that keep them numb.
By stories they keep telling themselves so they don’t have to deal with the pain of the truth.

But fantasy is a cage.
It might be comfortable—but it’s not free.

If you want to grow…
If you want to lead…
If you want to become the kind of man your family can trust…

You have to choose reality.

Reality doesn’t crush you—it forms you.
It reveals what’s broken and what’s possible.
It gives you the ground you need to build a life that lasts.

So stop escaping.
Stop pretending.
Stop hoping the hole in the sidewalk disappears.

Face it.
Speak it.
Walk a new way.

This is where the real man begins.
