How to Be a True Player

1. Embrace Integrity

Remember these words from Proverbs 10:9, "Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out." To be a true player, you must hold onto your integrity as tightly as you would at the peak of exhilaration on a rollercoaster. Integrity doesn’t just protect you; it propels you forward.

2. Serve with Joy and Love

Mark 10:45 reminds us, "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve." When you approach your interactions with a heart full of love and service, you’ll become a beacon of influence. Picture the impact you would have: like the headliner at a festival, commanding attention and admiration effortlessly.

3. Stand Firm in Faith

1 Corinthians 16:13 urges, "Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong." Being a player means holding steadfast in your faith, even when the winds of doubt blow hard, like the gales at the height of a musical crescendo. 

4. Be Authentic

Christ said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life" (John 14:6). To be a player in this Universe means living your life with the same authenticity and truth that Jesus embodied. Authenticity draws people to you like the central buzz of an unforgettable festival.

How Not to Be a Player

1. Avoid Hypocrisy

Matthew 7:5 says, "You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye." Hypocrisy is a surefire way to lose respect and influence. Be true to your word; practice what you preach.

2. Reject Deceit

Proverbs 12:22 states, "The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in people who are trustworthy." Deception erodes the foundation of any relationship. Engage with honesty, as every good player values trust above all else.

3. Don’t Exploit Others

Philippians 2:3 advises, "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves." Using others for personal gain diminishes your character and impacts your standing in the eyes of both God and the Universe.

4. Steer Clear of Pride

Proverbs 16:18 warns us, "Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall." Pride blinds us to our faults and limits growth. Stay humble and grounded, akin to the bassist who holds the rhythm; essential yet never overshadowing.

Feel the divine rhythm, dance in God's light, and channel the Universe’s energy to become the player the Christian brotherhood and this world need.

By walking in integrity, serving with joy and love, standing firm in faith, and being authentic, you not only elevate yourself but also become a beacon for others. Rejecting hypocrisy is crucial; live your teachings and be true to your word. In this eternal festival of God’s love, may you shine brightly, influencing others and honoring the path of righteousness.

Yo, my fellow bros, it's your guy. I just got back from a sick Barbie concert—don't judge, it's called being secure in your masculinity, bro—but I got something real important to talk to y'all about. It's time to get serious for a second. Our young conservative bros are being spiritually targeted by the powers that be, and we gotta protect ourselves out here. I'm talking predators, fake friends, and folks who just want to tear us down.

10 tips to keep yourself spiritually strong and safe.

1. Recognize the Enemies: First off, know who we're up against. These predators come disguised, sometimes as close friends or allies.

2. Trust Your Instincts: If something feels off, it probably is. Trust your gut and don't ignore those red flags, man.

3. Stick to Your Values: Don't let anyone or anything compromise your beliefs. Stay true to your conservative principles, no matter what.

4. Stay Informed; Knowledge is power, bro. Keep yourself educated on what's happening around you and who these predators might be.

5. Surround Yourself with Real Bros: Not everyone who calls themselves your friend really is. Make sure your circle is tight with people who truly have your back.

6. Set Boundaries: Don't let anyone overstep or manipulate you. Set clear boundaries and stick to them.

7. Lean on our Faith: Our spiritual strength comes from our faith. Don't neglect your spiritual practices and stay connected to your beliefs.

8. Be Vigilant Online: Predators are lurking everywhere, especially online. Be smart about what you share and who you talk to on social media.

9. Speak now: If you see something or someone trying to pull down one of your bros, speak up and stand together. United we stand, divided we fall.

10. Self-Care is Key: You can't fight off predators if you're running on empty. Take care of your mental, physical, and spiritual health, always.

    Listen up, these times are tough, but we can stay strong by sticking to these tips. Protect yourselves and each other out there! Much love to all my conservative bros. Stay woke, and I ain't talking about the fake kind.
    
    peace!

Yo, my dudes! It’s your bro from Calabasas here. Let’s chat about something righteous—living in the moment. High school and college are the sickest times we’ve got, bro. Life in the burbs, the beach, and just kickin' it with the squad is all-time. But wait, the best is yet to come, and we’ve gotta be present to soak it all in, man. There’s a certain gnarly power in the “now”, and I’m here to tell you how to tap into it like a surfer catching the perfect wave.

1. Embrace Spontaneity: Sometimes, the best times come from the most random plans. Drop everything and hit the beach or the skate park, man.

2. Limit Screen Time: Instagram and TikTok are dope, but don’t let them take your focus away from the bros and real-life vibes. Put the phone down and look around you, dude.

3. Gratitude Brews Magnitude: Every morning, think of three things you’re stoked about. Gratitude gives you that surfing-at-sunset warmth, seriously.

4. Daily Check-Ins: Whether it's praying or just having a deep think, reflect on your day, dreams, and what’s important. God’s got your back, bro.

5. Mindful Munching: Savor every bite of that In-N-Out burger or Taco Tuesday feast. Enjoying food and company makes everything taste better.

6. Break a Sweat: Surf, skate, or hit the gym. It’s all about releasing those feel-good vibes and getting stoked on life.

7. Nature Vibes: Hit a trail, chill at the beach, or just take a walk in your hood. Nature’s grounding energy is like hitting reset on your mood.

8. Meaningful Connections: Spend quality time with family and friends. Laugh, share stories, and just enjoy each other’s company. Nothing beats these bonds.

9. Chase Your Passion: Whether you’re shredding waves, playing guitar, or programming, do what makes your heart race. Passion fuels presence, bro.

10. Laugh Often: There ain’t nothing better than laughing so hard your sides hurt. Surround yourself with people who bring the fun out of you, and don’t take life too seriously. Moving on doesn’t mean forgetting, bro. It’s about appreciating every moment and looking forward to making more epic memories. The world is our oyster, so let’s cut loose and live each day to the fullest! Stay rad, my dudes!

Superman's Code: Lessons in Respecting Women from the Man of Steel

captured by royel for art by royel

Alright, bros and superstars, gather 'round! Today, we're diving into some legendary wisdom straight from the Man of Steel himself. Yeah, I'm talking about Superman. You know, the guy who can lift cars and fly, yet he’s got a heart that's all about truth, justice, and the ultimate respect for everyone, especially the ladies. So buckle up and let the power of Kal-El guide you. First things first, let’s tap into some New Age vibes. If you want to resonate on a higher frequency, you gotta be the change you wish to see. Superman himself lives by this. It’s not just about having monstrous biceps or a chiseled jawline; it's about being a decent human being. As Superman would say, "It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me."

1. Speak with Intent and Clarity: Superman never mumbles his words, bros. When you talk to women, do it with clear intention and respect. Ditch the slang that trivializes her presence and elevate your conversation. Tap into that throat chakra and let authenticity flow. Remember, “The greatness of any man lies in his heart.” Let yours be pure and genuine.

2. Listen Like Lois Lane: Superman always lends an ear to Lois, even when the universe is at stake. Give women your undivided attention. Resist the urge to check your phone or gaze around the room. Active listening is key. As they say in Metropolis, "The most heroic act is sometimes just to listen."

3. Energy is Everything:** New Age teachings emphasize the vibrational frequency of our energy. Spread good vibes, bros. A confident smile, a kind word, even just your calm presence—it all counts. Like Supes says, "There is a superhero in all of us; we just need the courage to put on the cape." Show your inner superhero by exuding positive energy.

4. Physical Presence with Respect: Sure, Superman's got the physique, but he never uses it to intimidate. Be aware of your body language. Stand tall but don’t crowd her space. Use an open posture to show you’re approachable. “With great power, comes great responsibility.” Treat every interaction with care.

5. Empower the Queens: Superman’s strength lies not just in his muscles but in empowering others. Recognize and celebrate the achievements and aspirations of the women around you. Step back and let them shine. “True power comes from empowering the powerless.”

6. Kindness is the Ultimate Strength: Don’t mistake kindness for weakness. Superman’s kindness is his core strength. Hold doors, offer your seat, speak gently. The actions may seem small but they echo in eternity. "In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."

Yeah, bros, treating women with respect isn't just about gestures—it's about mindset and heartset. Channel your inner Superman and bring a fusion of superhero valor and New Age enlightenment into every interaction.

Remember, in the vast universe, "We all have a role to play. We all have a purpose."

Now go out there and be legendary.

The Bro Code: Decoding “mitchell!”

art by Mitchell Royel

Brothers and sisters of the ride, let’s take a moment to talk about something important—something that transcends the mundane and ventures into the realm of unforgettable experiences shared with your best mates. Today, we're diving into the essence of how we use the word "mitchell!" within our tribe. You see, “mitchell!” isn't just a name, it’s an enigma, a reflection of our unique bond and the subliminal messages we convey with it.

So, how do you say mitchell!? Yes, I’m looking right at you. Is it with a sly grin, under the glow of a post-workout euphoria, the sweat still dripping from our collective beast mode? Maybe it carries a tone of jest, like the perfect punchline to a long-standing inside joke. Or perhaps your “mitchell!” is uttered with a hint of reverence, acknowledging the untapped potential within each one of us—a talisman reminding us to push harder, go faster, and embrace the euphoric burn.

Then there are moments where "mitchell!" carries an air of friendly challenge, almost sarcastic but never deceitful. It’s as if to say, “C’mon, bro, is that all you've got?” pushing limits while keeping the camaraderie alive.

But let's not ignore the holy resonance “mitchell!” can have within our circle. Spoken in hushed tones, it can hold a spiritual gravitas. It’s the whispered mantra on a particularly grueling day, a reminder that we’re all part of something larger—an unspoken pledge to uphold the sanctity of our shared goals and boundless energy.

Now, don’t get me wrong, the word "mitchell!" can also take an anime turn, dripping with a kind of exaggerated flair—like when we parody those intense, dramatic moments before nailing that final sprint of the ride.

How about we don’t forget the sensual undertone “mitchell!” could have. Call it a subtle nod to the eye candy we’ve all encountered. We dress up for the sweat, but we’re also here to appreciate the spectacle. Am I right?

Here’s the bottom line: however you say “mitchell!,” do it with your chest, do it with heart. This is a safe space where we unleash our full potential, each “mitchell!” echoing the unbreakable ties of our tribe. Just make sure you’re here for the right reasons: to ride hard, rise high, and never ever to harm or tread without consent. Ready to roll, bros? Let’s own that mitchell!, together.

Alright, bruhs, here's where it gets next-level. In our elite suburban circle, "mitchell!" is much more than a word—it's a full-on vibe. Ever laid back in a leather club chair, sipping on a single malt, swapping stories from the weekend bender? That’s where the real "mitchell!" magic happens. It’s the verbal high-five over brunch at the chicest spots, like when Dylan totally nailed that 100-mile ride last Saturday.

Picture this: We’re in the club, chillin’ in the VIP section. One of the bros orders another round, and someone utters “mitchell!” with epic timing. Suddenly, it's a scene. That’s the essence of suburban swagger, and we’re owning it.

In our crew, “mitchell!” can even become part of your text game. Shooting a quick “mitchell!” in the group chat signals the best time to drop your latest victory—whether that's shredding in the latest Peloton class or acing that boardroom presentation. It’s the ultimate endorsement among bros, a fast-track to respect and recognition.

So, let’s be real. Each “mitchell!” isn’t just uttered or texted; it’s celebrated. It's for those epic moments of suburban bro glory, where every high-five and fist bump signifies another day of living the dream. Let's keep that energy sky-high and let “mitchell!” be the anthem of our unbreakable bond.
