A Boy becomes a Man when he stops wishing and starts acting.

When he stops waiting at the bar for someone to talk to him and goes and chats up random strangers.

When he stops hoping to make extra money and does what is necessary to get that money.

When he stops relying on the world to give him what he wants and when he goes and gets it himself.

A Boy becomes a Man when he stops talking about everything he wants to do and when he starts talking about all the things he did do!

When he stops proudly flaunting his ideas and just does it without needing the approval of anyone.

When he stops wanting to be the alpha male and simply focuses on his life and what he needs to do, making him the alpha in the process.

When he stops complaining about the way things didn’t work out and instead keeps grinding until they do.

A Boy becomes a Man when he stops standing idly by as life passes him by and acts on it instead.

When he stops being bound by fear and just does what is necessary anyway.

When he stops wasting time on lesser things and spends more time on the things that matter, even if they scare him or make him uncomfortable.

When he does more behind the scenes than in front of the scenes.

A Boy becomes a Man when the things he doesn’t tell are far greater than the things he does.

A Boy becomes a Man when he responsible and actively LIVES his life to the fullest.
