Grit is what makes a male a man. One doesn’t become a man, he chooses to be one, a constant choice of becoming. I have known men who were 12 and boys who were 41. The biggest obstacle to manhood is obedience. Obedience is very difficult. It takes real courage, strength, and a character willing to constantly deny himself and be different than his base instinct urges him to be. All males continually plead with themselves to be lesser than they can be, that voice calling them to the path well trodden. Men “enslave their bodies” to do what is right, just, and honorable in absolute obedience. But obedience to Who. To Him who Himself had to suffer under obedience even unto death. The most worthy example for males seeking to be men. He is the True Grit Truth.
