The Power of a Man's Position


What is Position? Basically where a man stands in life. This intangible place can make or break a man and shape who he becomes in the future.

The position a man stands in life is where he gets his power from. That’s why it’s important for a man to never lose his position. When a man knows where he stands he can set a direction for his life. Men who know their position control their own destinies and control their own lives. They are not afraid to go for what they want, pursue their goals, and achieve their dreams.

A man can lose a job and not lose his position.

A man can lose a woman  and not lose his position.

A man can lose all of his money and still not lose his position.

Even if a man loses all those material things as he still has power and control over himself. And as long as he has that power and control over himself, he can always start moving towards the direction he wants to go in.

However, if a man moves out of position, he loses his place in the world.

I dare to say that it’s better for a man to die than to lose his position.

Why? Because a man who loses his position loses his direction in life. Instead of being a leader, he becomes a follower.

A man without position is a man stranded in a secondary station in life. Forever waiting for someone else to tell him what to do, how to live and how to think. Instead of being in control he’s the one who is controlled by others.

A man without position is a man without face. A man without identity. Someone who has no idea of who he is or what he stands for. Someone who doesn’t stand out from the crowd. Someone the world forgets.

He’s the guy who waits for life to happen to him. The guy who is commanded by others, not the one who takes command. A man who isn’t respected or appreciated. Someone who life passes by.

Position is one of the most important things in a man’s life. Especially when it comes to courting the opposite sex.

That’s why it’s important for a man to NEVER lose position in front of anyone, especially a woman.

When a man loses his position with a woman he loses their respect. And when women don’t respect a man, they don’t regard him as someone whose leadership they have to follow. He’s the guy who never gets taken seriously by women. Over time women turn the table on these kinds of men and eventually become the leaders of the relationship.

Men who lose their position with women eventually wind up becoming pawns of women’s games. They’re the guys who wind up being manipulated and lied to, the guys who get cheated on, and the guys who wind up paying for babies who aren’t theirs.

Basically, the men without position become Simps, Manginas, and Tricks.

Men, it’s important to know your position in life. When a man knows where he stands he can set a course for his life. He can start walking towards the goals in life he wants to achieve and taking steps to achieve them.

Position is not about money, race or class. A poor Black man who knows his position in life will be more successful than the rich White man who doesn’t.

Why? Because the rich man without position won’t know where stands. And when a man doesn’t know where he stands he doesn’t know where he’s going. Sooner or later he’s going to wind up lost.

While the poor Black man who knows his position will be moving in the direction that will take him where he wants to go. Sure, it may take him a little while longer to get where he’s going, but eventually, he will wind up at his destination in life.

A man who knows his position and the power of it knows who he is and what he stands for. He plays the game of life on his rules and by his terms.

A man who doesn’t know his position just winds up getting played.

Men, know your position. And when you define that place in life, stay in it. The man who knows his position is the master of his own fate and controls his own destiny.
