Begin Here: The Society of Ordinary Gentlemen
The Society of Ordinary Gentlemen, the O.G.’s of Gentlemanly Behavior, was created to provide a haven where gentlemen and ladies can communicate with each other in a polite and courteous setting. While many discussions will center around genteel behavior, humor, fashion, food, mental and physical well-being, and the active mentoring of a new generation of gentlemen, no topic of discussion is off limits provided the discussion is conducted within the Code of Conduct of the Society. The Society of Ordinary Gents is not a platform for recruiting members into sub-groups, special membership groups, or educational or financial opportunities. Poachers, Charlatans, or Internet Self-Help Gurus will be banned. The Society is not going to teach you how to be James Bond, John Wick, or the secret methods to make women want you. The Society is not a for-profit group or business. Essentially, The Society of Ordinary Gents is the online equivalent of friends enjoying a cigar, a bourbon and the company of others, as we discuss meaningful and trivial matters sitting in comfortable chairs.

Learning and Expanding
For me on my journey I’ve been trying to expand my knowledge and experience learning new things. At the same time finding more things that me and my bride can do together and enjoy. One thing is we love is to go out to eat, one of our favorites is Japanese cuisine. Now although it’s great food it can get expensive and depending on where you eat some restaurants are better than others. So we decided to embark on a new adventure together learning to cook some of our favorite foods at home and do it together. So yesterday after church we embarked on making some of our favorite Japanese dishes. And we made enough to take some to my wife’s family. We had a blast doing this together and learning and everyone loved it. I even stepped out and tried my hand at making sushi! and not only was it fun I was impressed that it looked great and even tasted great. So we ended up making Orange Chicken, the Sweet and Sour Chicken, the Beef Stir Fry, Fried Rice, Fried Wontons with cream cheese and crab meat, and we even made Egg Rolls! It was so much fun doing it and to see our family dive into it and love it! They asked us to let them know when we will make them it again.

THE "LET THEM" THEORY
I listen to Mel Robbin's podcast which is where I heard about this theory. I received her book for Christmas and have been reading it. I highly recommend it. Here is a brief summary of the theory: Let Them is the practice of releasing control over others so you can reclaim control over yourself. The Let Them Theory — Detailed Breakdown Let Them Feel What They Feel - Let them be angry - Let them be disappointed - Let them be annoyed - Let them misunderstand you ➡️ You are not responsible for managing other people’s emotions. Let Them Think What They Think - Let them judge - Let them gossip - Let them assume - Let them have opinions you disagree with ➡️ Other people’s thoughts do not define you. Let Them React How They React - Let them overreact - Let them withdraw - Let them complain - Let them act immaturely ➡️ Their reaction is information, not an emergency. Let Them Make Their Own Choices - Let them make mistakes - Let them choose differently than you would - Let them repeat unhealthy patterns ➡️ You cannot rescue people from the consequences of their own decisions. Let Them Disapprove of You - Let them be unhappy with your boundary - Let them not like your decision - Let them be uncomfortable with your growth ➡️ Discomfort does not mean you’re wrong. Let Them Be Who They Are - Believe patterns, not promises - Stop expecting people to become who you wish they were ➡️ Acceptance brings clarity and peace. The Second (Critical) Half: Let Me This is what gives you your power back. Let Me Choose My Response - You don’t have to explain, defend, or argue - You get to pause and respond calmly Let Me Protect My Energy - Step back emotionally - Stop over-engaging - Stop chasing validation Let Me Set Boundaries Without Guilt - You can say no - You can disengage - You can limit access ➡️ Boundaries don’t require permission. Let Me Focus on What I Can Control - My actions - My words - My values - My next step
