#Disney has spent decades reinforcing a cult of #PrinceCharming and as a result, #society has created a counter culture of mistrusting any #man who tries to be #Charming. But what is a #CharmingMan anyway? And more importantly, how difficult is it to BE charming?https://beingcaballero.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-simple-art-of-being-charming.html#BeingCaballero #charm #Chivalry #communication #confidence #flattery #Gentleman #SocialSkills #connection

Since it is so likely that #children will meet cruel #enemies, let them at least have heard of #brave #knights and #heroic #courage. -C.S. Lewis#BeingCaballero #empowerment

As the ability of people today to do constructive #criticism has lessened, and our ability to receive ANY kind of criticism is slowly lost as a result, we will probably react to #WeNeedToTalk as a #challenge. Your reaction will either be to win the #argument, however possible, or to run away from it, again however possible. By this time, both parties involved are more worried about #winning or #losing than about #understanding each other. https://beingcaballero.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-response-waiting-period.html #BeingCaballero #communication #fight #Gentleman #kids #love #marriage #parents #partnership #relationships

We are constantly bombarded with the idea that we live in a #narcissist society. The ironic side-effect of all this need for #attention and #recognition is a self-conscious attempt to avoid sounding #arrogant. This need to express #humility leads us all too often into the trap of selling ourselves short or be ashamed of our #success. https://beingcaballero.blogspot.com/2015/04/always-start-with-your-best-foot-forward.html #BeingCaballero #attitude #empowerment #entitlement #etiquette #experience #Gentleman #honor #pride #proud #GoodMan

We live in a society that prides itself into forcing everyone into a constant state of “#average.” The danger of this #attitude isn’t its ability to prize #mediocrity, but in making those who could #BeMore feel ashamed of wanting to be more. Don’t let them! https://beingcaballero.blogspot.com/2015/04/you-are-worthy-of-being-you.html #BeingCaballero #NoExcuses #arrogance #empowerment #excuses #goals #greed #growth #inspiration #motivational #success #vanity

I think that ALL our #social elements had an origin in #practicality that was just lost along the way. We continue doing things without understanding why we do them, which so often translates into a need to demonstrate #snobbery with a foundation of #ignorance. For that reason I think it necessary to explain why some of our #SocialGuides exist, from a #practical point of view. Today we will talk about #liquor #glasses. https://beingcaballero.blogspot.com/2015/04/holding-your-liquor.html #BeingCaballero #bar #drinking #Etiquette #Gentleman #liquor #scotch #SocialSkills #wine #palette #polite

If #Forbes is to be believed, a #MansWorth is defined by his earning capacity, as they post year after year a list on how “X" person has a net #worth of "X" amount of #money.” I refuse to believe a man’s #bank account defines a man’s worth. Take a moment and think what YOU are #worth. If you have difficulty finding an answer, think of the question this way; if you lost everything, what would you be worth? https://beingcaballero.blogspot.com/2015/04/a-mans-worth.html #BeingCaballero #communication #confidence #divorce #empowerment #family #friends #SelfRespect #SelfWorth
