How does one juggle the many challenges of being a man?

[FutureSpartan]

My priorities in life

1. The necessity these days to be a "value-added" to my employer/clients
2. The drive to be wealthy
3. The motivation to stay in shape, eat right
4. The time to build and maintain relationships with friends and family
5. The time to cultivate hobbies and passions
6. The need to stay updated on social trends, current events, and happenings
7. The ability to hack through dire circumstances and life's problems
8. The need to demonstrate masculinity in mindset, identity, poise, and actions

and then of course....

6. the immense challenge of being able to build and maintain intimate relationships with the opposite sex...


How can a man achieve all this without sacrificing one aspect over the other? I want to be a renaissance man....but from my experience its really hard to pull off! How do you guys do it?

Read Castiglione - The Book of the Courtier if you want to be a Renaissance man. Lol. It is a pretty interesting book though.

Bump. I'm really interested in this thread. I always seem to be lacking in one or another of the criteria, and its usually 7. that holds me back the most.

Discipline. It's a life long battle to develop for some, easy for others. I struggle with it every day.

Spend less time on the internet. Then you'll have more time for the rest of that BS.
