A SHORT THREAD 1/4
I am not now nor have I ever been an exemplar of the masculine ideal.
In my Life I have let people down, lied, displayed cowardice, acted in ways that brought me embarrassment and, on a few occasions, shame.
2/4 But I can say with absolute certainty that NONE of these dreadful behaviors were the result of my masculinity.
An honest assessment of my choices reveals that they were due to its ABSENCE in those moments.

(THREAD) 1/7 Regard for etiquette & manners has for some Time been viewed with disdain, both relics from a best forgotten past. To me, one of the defining traits of a gentleman is an appreciation for and the consistent exercise of etiquette & manners when interacting with others.

The Twitterverse has more “brand experts” than you can shake a stick at. What I'm going to address in this thread is not brand marketing as such, yet everything I say is wholly applicable to anyone desiring to grow their footprint in the virtual or the physical world.

My name is Billy Red Horse and I present mySelf as The Gentleman Mystic. My handle is peculiar enough that it can catch eyes as well as strongly imply what one might generally expect from my interactions online. I even have a logo that adds to my “brand."

There are those whom I hold in high regard that say a willingness to suffer is a non-negotiable necessity to the achievement of any measure of success in this world. (thread)

Craft -vs- Talent (Thread)
In this nation, talent is worshiped as a blessed rarity bestowed upon only the fortunate. It is seen as an exceptional gift which can define greatness.
Talent is grossly overrated.
What is routinely misidentified as talent is, in fact, craft. Diligence is also mistakenly labeled as talent. Persistence, focus, dedication, refinement, and plain hard work are usually given the short shrift while the charlatan that is talent receives all the accolades.
