Fifty Two Tasks

FIFTY TWO TASKS

You want to be a better man? Start by getting honest with yourself.   JD

My name is Joe Doe. It's not really my name, but my real name doesn't matter. I'm an ordinary man: not too tall, too short, too smart, or too stupid. I've been flush with cash and I've been stone cold broke. I've slept in 5 star hotels and I've slept in my car. If you passed me on the street you probably wouldn't notice me at all. I have lived, as most American men do, in a cluster of anonymity.

Like most men, I get up, strap it on and slog through the work day; then I go home, eat something, drink my gin, climb into bed and do it all over again the next day.

A few years ago I looked in a mirror and I saw a beat-down man who know longer laughed, no longer cried; a man who'd lost his passion for life. All the cool, quirky parts of me were gone, worn away by stress and strife.

                           

I needed to re-invent myself. Or, to be more honest, I needed to find myself. 

                         

So I looked in the mirror again. This time I tried to be absolutely honest about what I saw.    

                           

That became Task #1. Over the next few years I created other tasks. I divided them up into 3 types: one, tasks that would help me clean up the emotional clutter I had piled up over the years; two, tasks to help me re-discover the fun of being a part of the male gender; and last, tasks to help me become a man for others. 

                                         

This blog lists 52 of those tasks. One to be accomplished every week for a year.  

Give them a shot. Good luck.  

                

Notes: 

Start with the task that corresponds with today's 

date. You'll find it by pressing 2014 on the upper right hand side and work your way back.
