  • - [Narrator] Most men today are unsure

  • if they are men or boys,

  • and men often will ask themselves,

  • what has to happen before I actually become a man ?

  • or what has to happen before I actually feel like a man?

  • By the end of this video, you will know where you stand.

  • I am going to go over the four stages of becoming a man.

  • The first stage of becoming a man is the squire stage.

  • This stage lasts from birth

  • right up until 13 or 14 years old.

  • This word comes from the Middle Ages

  • where the squire would assist the knight.

  • During this stage, the boy dreams of adventure.

  • They dream of becoming a big, powerful knight one day

  • and how they will change and save the world.

  • They are very naive and they think they can do everything.

  • Oftentimes, they lack respect and self-discipline

  • and they require guidance,

  • and oftentimes, when they cannot do something,

  • they'll get very frustrated and upset with themselves.

  • A lot of growth happens during this early stage.

  • The squire's always trying out different things

  • in order to see what he is good at.

  • Near the end of this stage,

  • they will begin to take on knight-like qualities,

  • like loyalty, persistence, truth, and honor.

  • The second stage is the knight stage.

  • Most of you watching this video are in the knight stage

  • and it's one of the most crucial points in your life.

  • This stage lasts from puberty right up until your late 20s.

  • This is the time of your life

  • where you usually seek challenge, adventure, and fun.

  • I like to think of this stage

  • as the burning fiery stage of a man's life,

  • where you have this deep desire within you

  • to go out and conquer in all aspects of life.

  • But this can also be a very difficult time in a man's life

  • because this is the time where you will have to choose

  • between what your parents want you to do

  • and what you want to do,

  • and on top of this, you are probably very unsure

  • of what you want to as a career

  • and you're probably very unsure about your life in general,

  • but these feelings are completely normal,

  • and you should not be worried about feeling like this.

  • In fact, it's exactly what you should be feeling.

  • It's important to live in the moment

  • without a lot of responsibilities,

  • and I'm personally in the knight stage as well.

  • The next stage is the prince stage.

  • This is a very interesting part of a man's life.

  • As princes, men are focused on building,

  • establishing, and creating in the world.

  • If you want to start a business,

  • this is usually when it happens.

  • This is where you have a clearly-defined purpose

  • in your life.

  • Some of you may be thinking, I don't know my purpose

  • or what I want to do, and I don't know if I ever will.

  • A massive difference between the knight stage

  • and the prince stage is that the prince possesses

  • a valuable trait called patience.

  • A knight is not patient.

  • He is running wild

  • wanting everything to happen to him right away,

  • whether it is business, success with women,

  • you need to have patience and trust the process.

  • But a trait that is equally

  • as important as patience is faith.

  • You need to have faith

  • that you will get to where you want to go

  • as long as you take the right steps along the way.

  • A prince is not overly concerned with the outcome,

  • but he is very concerned with the process,

  • and he is constantly course-correcting

  • and improving the way he does things.

  • A prince will build his kingdom, and during this time,

  • he will probably find a queen to stand beside him,

  • although this can happen at any point in man's life.

  • The final stage is the king stage.

  • The king is calm, relaxed, reflective,

  • and more importantly, he possesses wisdom.

  • You cannot really change a king.

  • A king has strong beliefs.

  • He knows who he is and what types of people

  • he wants to surround himself with.

  • A king has built his kingdom,

  • from his business life to his family life.

  • He does not waste his time worrying

  • about small things that don't really matter

  • because he's focused on the bigger picture

  • of running his kingdom.

  • If someone is around him who he does not resonate with,

  • he will kick him or her out of his kingdom.

  • This is also the part of man's life

  • where he wants to give back to the world.

  • There is no right or wrong stage to be in.

  • I know mentioned ages when I went through the stages,

  • but those are just general guidelines.

  • If you are 30 years old and you still feel like

  • you are in the early knighthood stage, this is okay.

  • Everyone's journey is subjective.

  • Do not judge yourself.

  • Reflect on your life

  • and take action to get where you want to go.
