Good morning, ladies, and gentlemen, Sorry I have not posted in a couple of days dues to being under the weather. Being on this journey that we chose is not always easy. It takes dedication, motivation, and strength. Whether you are a lady or a gentleman having the strength to change or remain the same determines your journey destination and growth. One of the ways that we determine where we are, how we are doing, and how strong we are on this journey is to evaluate our strength. Doing a self-evaluation is not a form of weakness; just the opposite, it shows strength. A person who can evaluate themselves honestly and make the necessary changes show great strength. Below is a list of things that will help you evaluate your strength on this journey. If you are true to yourself then you will be able to identify and make the necessary changes and see positive results. Signs of being weak: 1. Afraid to say "No" 2. Addicted to porn or social media 3. have a victim mentality 4. Slave to your addictions 5. Always gossiping about others 6. Not able to handle criticism well 7. Gets influenced by others 8. Lack of discipline to take action 9. Blaming others for your miserable life 10. Prioritize pleasure over everything else 11. Not taking responsibility for their actions 12. Low self-esteem and low confidence This list is just not a complete list but rather a starting point to evaluate and a place to start to make changes if necessary. If none of these apply, great you are off to a great start. But if you find yourself doing some of these, then it's time to address these while the year is just beginning. These corrections will affect the rest of your year; in work, relationships, and your journey to becoming the best version of you. Remember positive change create positive results.

Hello ladies and gentlemen. I was having some discussions with people around my age the other day and I thought I’d share some concerns with you all. The discussions started because I expressed some concerns about people still visiting nightclubs and party islands such as Ibiza and Mykonos while being in serious relationships, at least on a regular basis. It’s common to hear that “they’re having fun with friends”, but I’d argue there are much healthier environments to have fun than places full of alcohol and substance abuse, lust, immodesty and degeneracy. I often get hit with the “you’re still young. Don’t miss out on it you’ll be serious later in life” argument, which sparked some thoughts on being young in general, single or taken. I definitely agree with living life to its fullest, especially when young. But does youth excuse degeneracy? Or is it just an excuse for people to hold themselves to lower standards for as long as age allows them?

Gentlemen, Ladies It is with a mixture of regret, concern, and no small amount of disbelief that I must once again issue a formal communiqué regarding the prolonged absence of His Grace, Lord René — Gentleman-at-Liberty, Of Counsel, and, for reasons still under investigation, Honorary Cultural Attaché to the Danish Realm. As previously noted, His Grace had intended to return to active Society duties this week, including final sign-off on the Elements of a Gentleman curriculum. Unfortunately, that return has been indefinitely postponed, due to what is now being described — even by traditionally neutral Swiss newspapers — as an “escalating international incident.” You will, of course, be aware of the ongoing tensions between the Trump administration and Europe over Greenland. However, few are aware that the origins of the affair lie in a private liaison between His Grace and the Greenlandic Ambassador’s wife during last month’s Reykjavik Energy & Sovereignty Summit. While the exact nature of their interaction remains diplomatically ambiguous, it reportedly involved: - a miscommunicated sauna invitation, - a ceremonial sealskin robe, and - a regrettable misunderstanding regarding personal boundaries. President Trump, upon learning of the affair via unnamed sources (believed to be a disgruntled valet), has reignited his campaign to acquire Greenland, stating publicly that “if the Europeans can’t keep their nobility under control, we’ll buy the whole damn iceberg.” NATO, rather unusually understanding the seriousness of the threat, has mobilised a small joint task force. President Trump has since threatened retaliatory tariffs on European waistcoats and foie gras. His Grace, believed to be lying low in a remote fishing lodge under diplomatic hush, is said to be “reflecting on events,” with access to limited port and no external tailoring services. Until further notice — or until NATO stands down — His Grace will remain unable to fulfil his Society responsibilities. I have therefore been entrusted to continue issuing Sunday dispatches, safeguarding the archive, and keeping the younger members away from the brandy cabinet.
