THE WORDS OF HOUSE FLANERY

follow me on
FLANERYFORGE.COM This took time. Quiet work. Careful choices. I didn’t want these stories living in drafts or feeds. They needed a home. That home is now live. FLANERYFORGE.COM If you are a man, you are a leader. Speak truth. Lead by example. Never let them see you tired. You are the one they look to when they are tired. You are the one they lean on when they have nothing left. Head up. Chest out. Your life as a man should always feel like preparing for war. You’re either in the heat of battle or training for victory on the other side of it. If you’re not fighting, you’re not living. Life as a man is war. Conquest. Find y Hard work. Dedication. A craven companion flees at the first sign of trouble, but a faithful friend is never lost. You can complain and quit, or you can rock up and play ball. Last shot in Game 7 of your life: Who do you want taking it? Don’t worry about me: Ball’s in my hands. I’ll take the shot. No doubt. Stone. Cold. Killer. All your life you've been in a cage. When you're ready, break free. In this life, you are going to suffer one way or another. Pick your pain, or Life is going to pick it for you. One of the greats with a hell of a road to travel. Life ain’t as hard as people would have you think. Find a way to smile. Enjoy the ride.
