“ The Five Marks Of A Man Reflection”

In today’s world, they say our attention span is just 15 seconds. It shows. We scroll endlessly through TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and X. We swipe on dating apps without truly looking for connection - just chasing quick dopamine hits that fade as fast as they come.

It’s easy to fall for what I call “false freedom”: gambling, the lottery, impulsive trading, one-night stands - anything that promises a rush without requiring real commitment. We rarely stop to think about the long term effects.

True freedom isn’t a fast car, a big house, or a fat bank account. Those can be just as much a chain as poverty - another distraction from your real purpose. Real freedom is waking up every day loving what you do, surrounded by people who understand you, and who care for you even when it’s inconvenient.

The key is focus. Not scattered focus on ten different dreams at once, but the kind of focus that digs deep into one goal until it becomes a foundation - a stepping stone to the next level.

That’s when you’ll understand freedom: when the mindless boy who wanted everything now becomes the man who builds it over time.
