I don’t remember where I had heard this over the past month, but this resonates with me as I am both trying to be a better human and am curious what it means to be a man - which is a topic we’ll save for another time. I think what I like most about this is it orients one towards being excellent and deemphasizes needing external validation by being “good”. Being good at being a man implies character and principles where as being good towards the person in front of you implies doing whatever it takes to meet their needs. The latter is dangerous territory for my worst instincts as a people pleaser.
Don't be a good man, be good at being a man.
