There are a lot of different ways to be kind, and there are a lot of different ways to be masculine. But in both cases, what matters most is trying your best to do the right thing.
Most people know what that looks like. The hard part is following through when it’s more convenient not to.
The subreddit ‘Men Of Purpose’ is an online community for those who believe that the purpose of life is a life of purpose.
“We choose direction over drift and meaning over comfort, growing stronger together through discipline, self-mastery, and shared accountability,” the community introduces itself in its ‘About’ section.
And to keep each other motivated, members regularly share inspiring examples of choosing responsibility over excuses. Here are some of our favorite posts.

One of the most rewarding things in my life right now is when I spend time with the other elderly people at my ex's mother's memory care facility after I've visited her. She's the only resident who gets frequent, consistent visitors (my ex goes nearly every day, and I visit several times a week.) But I rarely see family/anyone else visit the other residents. So I always stop and talk to them, even the ones who have aphasia or other language issues (I listen and react as if they are speaking coherently.) A few of the other residents have started recognizing me and they always smile and wave when they see me. It breaks my heart that I never see them get any other visitors, even on holidays/special events I've attended. It's really difficult emotionally to spend time with them, and it hurts my heart that I can't do more for them, but it is so, SO rewarding anyway. Spend a moment with someone who needs it, even if they're a stranger.
I love this one, cuz you're never too old too be your dad's little girl. 😁
Sure would be nice if a few BILLIONAIRES in the US would something that kind.
I am always so thankful when someone shares something about their loved ones who have díed, whether it's a spouse, child, or a pet. We get to carry that loved one in our hearts and minds as well now, and even though we never knew them in life, they still have value and they still deserve to be remembered. I don't know if this gentleman's lovely prom date was still alive or not, but it is always an honor when someone shares their loved ones.
ProTip: order a backup. Lou once lost his Teddy and the drama was real. Of course a neighbour found Teddy, after we ordered backups, but still ...
They were married in 2023 and had a daughter in 2024! He was still alive as of 12 weeks ago according to her Instagram, so... happy ending! Woo!
Yep. Communicate openly and honestly. Doesn't have to agree with me, just be willing to try to work toward a consensus, working toward a happy family.
I've seen a lot of these before but I'm always happy to see them again. We need positive, happy things right now more than ever. Thank you !!
