00:00Every November 19th is International Men's Day.
00:04This day is not about celebrating perfection.
00:07It's about honoring positive contribution and acknowledging the true essential code of what it means to be a man in today's world.
00:14What is that code?
00:16It begins with responsibility.
00:18A man hones his actions, acknowledges his mistakes and never outsources his duties, whether to his family, his community or his world.
00:26He is a provider, yes, but he provides stability, direction and safety, not just resources.
00:34It requires courage, not the absence of fear, but the daily act of moving forward against all odds.
00:41It is the courage to be honest about his struggles, the courage to be vulnerable with those he loves, and the courage to choose the difficult right path over the easy wrong ones.
00:51Finally, he demands integrity.
00:54A man's world is measured not by his possessions or his status, but by how he treats those from whom he has nothing to gain.
01:01He is superior only to the man he was yesterday.
01:04His purpose is to build, to build a stronger family, a better community and a legacy of character.
01:11To hold the men and boys who lead by example, who uphold the code and who commit daily to being better than who they were yesterday.
