My series about creating a roadmap for better manhood continues with another important aspect: a well-thought-out worldview. After writing about A Man’s Identity and Discovering Your Purpose, the next aspect of becoming a mature man is a well-thought-out worldview to direct your life and decision-making. Your worldview is the loudest voice that influences whether he becomes a mature man or not.

In this next post, I will provide what I believe is the starting line on the roadmap to manhood begins by understanding your identity.

Even today, it appears many guys have “gone off the road” because they don’t understand
