Do you have any advice for people who don’t know what direction to go in career wise. I know a lot about myself, I’m on a good path, but I need help figuring out what to do next (25yo)

[@ManTalks]

Good question. I haven't dug in deep into this in a while but have some content on this coming out in the next few months. Stay tuned

Commitment is a decision as civilized men and women. We are not mangaumus by nature and we live much longer than our ancestors so mine things have changed such as birth control and very defrent standards of conduct the majority of marriage end in divorce a relationship that builds deeper conexyoun is hard work but big rewards in my journey of66 years I have had the love of a number of lady's looking back now life is so short I wish I could hold at least4 of them in my arms again that truly deep conexyoun never leaves you?
