- If you're a Mason, you know that our daily habits play a big role in our Masonic journey. In this video, we'll explore the 4 things ALL Masons should do EVERY DAY (#4 can change your life!)
One of the main goals of Freemasonry is self improvement. But often, we don't really get into practical discussions of how to really make that happen. In this video, 33° Scottish Rite Mason Maynard Edwards, discusses a few Masonic ideas that can aid in making you a better person.
You likely already know about these 4 things good Masons should do everyday, but let this be a reminder to make them a daily practice.
If you're not a Mason, you will also certainly benefit from these four practical tips for self-improvement.

Brethren! Make sure you shout out your Lodge and what is something you always try to do every day as a Mason?
Try to meditate, even while walking or doing some other activity. The Way of the Heart is truly Ineffable. We focus a lot on seeking Wisdom, on building Strength of character, body, mind and purpose...
...but how often do we really take the time to appreciate the Beauty which He hath wrought?

Hi
Osceola Lodge 515, Osceola Mills, PA.
Everyday I try to treat everyone I meet with respect. Regardless of their attitude, demeanor, or the way they treat me. I take being honest very seriously and I attempt to avoid unnecessary conflict at all Costs. I've been told I'm very good at all of these by multiple people and that they wish they could have the calm demeanor that I carry everyday.
I tell them there is always room for improvement and that it's not always easy being the good guy.
White House Lodge No. 700, Valley of Nashville. Greetings, Brothers. I am thankful for so many of God’s blessings, too many to count! Masonry and Scottish Rite have truly helped me become a better man. As for my daily practices, Prayer, learn something new from the Blue Book, read a chapter in M&D, or participate in a meeting. Thank you Bro. Maynard, you are a Blessing to us all!
1. Pray and thank God
2. Learn something new
3. Reach out to a brother
4. Reflect on your day - what you did well and what you need to do better.
Thank u, fellas. Hope ur all having a great Thanksgiving... I for one am eternally grateful and thankful for all the help... And the hell... That so many folks both seen and unseen have done to help me along my journey in life. It's not wasted or unappreciated. Thank you all with all my heart. I love you guys.
Eugene Lodge 11, Eugene Valley 32*
Great reminders!
I know I'm doing well if I'm doing these daily, Yoga/exercise, reading, journaling and practicing temperance.
Always wake with gratitude and reflect nightly.
Greetings and warm wishes from a fellow Oregonian who isn't a Brother but is intrigued by the little bit of info he's garnered about the Craft (2 great grandfathers were AASR).
Explained very well for those who know nothing about Freemasonry....
I'm a licensed massage therapist. Everyday I help people to feel better. I try to give every client my full presence, share my knowledge, and truly connect the mind with the body for a moment.
Thanks for the thoughts of elevating my self🎉
Bro. Maynard!! I did it, I was raised on October 30th. Churchland Lodge no. 276 A.F.&A.M.
Congratulations! That is excellent news. Hope you enjoy your journey.
Congratulations!
How long were you dead?
Congratulations widow son
Great video! ...we use your videos in lodge for educational moments.
Great video my Brother! These are the lessons I grew up learning as a child. At least 3 of the 4. My Father was a Scottish Rite Mason for as long as I can remember. He joined Iron Springs Lodge in Little Rock, Arkansas. When I joined, I joined a York Rite Lodge here in Louisiana. My Father and brother both worked in the conferring of all 3 of my degrees. I was then taught the 4th. I raised my children on 3 of your suggestions as was I. God bless my Brothers and peace be with you! Silent Brotherhood Lodge #146. R.W. S. Hester DDGM 6th Masonic District, Grand Lodge State of Louisiana
I totally agree with you. Every morning i give thanks and during the day before i go to sleep I give thanks because I know without God's help would not be where I am today or accomplish anything I have now. Great advise thank you brother.
This is good advice for any man in general. I am not a mason but I have been approached to join. I pray everyday. Do something to improve myself and reflect upon my day. Thank you for your wisdom and a good video.
That was very helpful, thx. I'll do 1 and 4 straight away today.
Thank you for sharing this video brother , I’ve been struggling lately, and as simple as it sounds this is something that I should do, I pray every morning , but all of the other tips are practical and as simple as they sound and should be obvious I needed to be reminded of it thank you for sharing , Gos bless you .. ( shout out to Yorktown diamond thistle lodge #555 blue lodge 1st westchester Putnam district of the Grand lodge of the state of NY)
😊Sir Thank You for coaching me 🙏🙏 I needed that
Dekalb lodge 144! Woot woot. Everyday I just try to be a little better than yesterday.
Great video my brother.
"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."
Thoreau
Thanks Bro. Mike. Hope you and yours have a blessed Thanksgiving. Hope to see you again soon!
This is very benefits for me as an apprentice Masson. It all about making good men better. I'm proud of being a Masson on Egyptian rite but I would like to know more about the Scottish rite aswell. I believe masonry is the best way to life in life
Thank you. I learned a lot from the video. I also needed that. 🌿☠️
Great video and great reminder/tips of the things we should be implementing in our lives! And since I am from the mountains of Western North Carolina, any day in the woods is a good day! Wishing all the very best and a joyous Thanksgiving! Junaluskee #145 AF&AM, North Carolina (was initiated/passed/raised Sherwood-Midday #164 AF&AM, Oregon) and Valley of Franklin and Valley of Asheville.
Great message Maynard! Mt. Ararat here Brother. See you Tuesday
Listen to a new genre of music, a new song, try a new food, taste a new flavor, a new spice, a new fruit, feel a new feeling, sobriety, try eating no meat, no dairy, no gluten, no sugar, no fast food, no nicotine, no caffeine, no chemicals in cleaning products... removing things is something new to try everyday because it is making room for new energies to enter your mind. New perspective.
Those who work with Protractors and Angles, know the Sacred Geometry of Protectors and Angels. π

Ha, thanks Brother…. Greetings from Scottsdale 43. Nothing wrong with walking in the woods, great way to connect with /G\.

Great video, brother. These are all things I need to do more. And the walk in the woods...yeah, a little weird. ;)
I literally saw a video from another creator on a philosophy-type channel and I was like "I can do that! Then I realized it was weird. But still worth doing.
MY GODFATHER IS A MASON 💪

Hi Brothers how York college doing are we going to take take shelter
Hey Brother! nice to meet you in Tampa!
You too! Thanks for watching. Hope you have a great Thanksgiving!
Hello good morning
i like that area you were in, i want to build a cabin in a place like that
I'm not a Freemason, but I wanted to agree with how unbelievably important number 3 is, no matter who you are. A simple silly text to a friend or family member can make a world of difference. My friend has crippling anxiety and depression, but she lives 500 miles away. Every once in a while I'll drop my pants around my ankles (keeping my underwear on), snap a ridiculous picture of my tuchus reflecting back at me from a full length mirror, then fire that off to her without a single word. She says, "You have no idea how much I needed that," EVERY SINGLE TIME.
Hello, how can i join masons please
How can I become a MASON? ALSO alot like AA
Hi how can I become a mason
So nice to see a video of good things about freemasons. I'm sick of videos about how evil the are. My grandfather was a freemason and they do so much good in life
I A A E A S T A A A B A F, my journey has just begun but im looking foward to all it has to offer . Lodge# 555
Is number five giving to charity?
Good one to mention! But every day could get a little tight on the ol' cable tow!
@@ScottishRiteMasons well said
Charity its not always about money... you can provide a helping hand, or think can you make someone else's day better, sometimes it just takes being grateful, some times it requires a bit of extra time and effort, or sometimes is just listening... anything that is done with the intention of helping others.
Excellent point.

You already forgot the first rule

Nice content. I've always felt compelled to pursue the greatest interests of mankind, to wit. A way to be influential, powerful and protected. always felt the need to be recognized wherever i go, not because i am proud or clamorous but because of who i am and what i represent. The inner me is gasping to find out more knowledge about the human race and about the things that not everyone is destined to know. I wish to blossom into the enlightenment that our forebears wanted so desperately for us to gain.
well i think your feeling is kinda understandable, it's really just you been human. If you really seek enlightenment you can achieve that and so much more by joining the Illuminatus. I know it sounds mythical, but there are ways you can actually get in
Oh yeah? is it even possible to join? i always thought it's meant for certain people in the upper class.
yeah that's intentional, i mean that's what they want you to think. if you need to get more enlightened on the subject, look up Anthony Rogers Szymon. Will help you get more clarity and answers.
That's great. Thanks so much for the reference, I just looked him up and left him a message already.
@@tinomccormick21o Do not fall for this. If you're looking to join the masons simply Google your city and state (if in America) and Freemasons if any is in your town it'll show you. Go to the lodge and ask about joining I assure you leaving a message for someone is not the way lol.
I have found myself growing closer to god since i became a mason, it actually got me back into church as well. and every few days i at least talk to one or two of my brothers from lodge. My wish in this life time is when my days are done my kids and grand kids can look back and see what a difference masonry changed me and the way i looked at things in life. and hopefully i made an impact in their life to hopefully one day they would take it upon themselfs to knock on the door.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Biltmore lodge #446 Asheville NC. I try every day to come up with ways that I can be of greater importance to my lodge, my brothers, and our communities
@@julianwilliams7109Freemasonry is Demonic at its highest peak. But what do I know. Godbless you because you are going to need it Sir🙏
which. church ? since its an multi belief organization
I agree. It’s an order for living and being a better man. Good Hope 29, F&AM, MWPHGLCA
Do better be better
I just returned my fellowcraft catechism recently. I came across your videos very recently. Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge and most importantly clearing and answering many questions I had and was not sure how to ask them. Thank you so very much
I feel like god is Guiding me to become a mason. This video makes me feel like im right
Just came across your videos Brother. Great content, I look forward watching your previous videos l as well as the ones to come.
As I'm watching this, 2023 is coming to a close, and the start of all the "resolutions" are in full swing. For me I try to purposely seek wisdom, discernment, and how I can lend a helping hand daily. Bay Minette #498
The Masonic owl 🦉 wants your head buddy 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Excellent thoughts for us to add into our daily routines my Brother! I usually end up doing a bit of combining #1 and #4 in my daily routines! It really helps me start and end my days in a positive manner. David D. Mattock #87
Bro Edwards, I admire your dedication and love this channel. As you can see, you are followed even her in Namibia. May everything good happen to you, all of our brethren where ever they may be...., and those closest to you. Ill Bro Dr HC Strauss.
Thank you so much sir!
THIS IS AWESOME I LOVE THIS CHANNEL IT'S LIKE BEING APART OF THE MASONIC CLUB WITHOUT ACTUALLY BEING IN IT.
Too funny.
Thank you
This is something everyone should do
No matter what you do as a man
I enjoyed this brief "walk in the woods" with you. Numbers 1, 2, and 4 are things that I've done for a long time. Number 3 is a bit more challenging for my more introverted personality. Though I've done a number of outgoing things in Masonry, it's not my comfort zone to initiate contacts "out of the blue". I'll have to ponder this for awhile.
1962 6th grade teacher said no matter where you are in the world a man is at his best when he is praying to his GOD.
Never forgot her saying that can still see that class room.
Learn to love the little things in this world first then you can learn to love GOD the creator of all things
Great video.
Not a brother, but just came to tell your editing and this whole presentation in the woods is well done. Stay strong all!
Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed. Hope you will subscribe!
This is an excellent video, great advice, brother, and personally I like the walking in the woods.
I what to join
Enjoyed this very much. My son-in-law is very proud of his Scottish heritage, also an Eagle Scout. Is now studying and considering presenting himself for membership. 🎉

I haven't been to lodge in a long while. I really needed to hear this. Thanks for the video Brother. Subscribed
Is it true that after joining you are not allowed to play Assasin's Creed and all the AC products are forbidden?
I pray multiple times a day, tend to God's animals and God's land, I also care for my grandparent
Well said Brethren, saying hello from soloman commandery No. 30 Locust grove,ga sir knight cade

Interesting that this pops up. Follow the bouncing ball. Came to work had a "darth vader does guided meditation" I thought sure why not a fun parody. Was actually fun and useful. Followed by a couple "recommended" videos about 10 min on guided meditation. Then this. To paraphrase a great leader. "I regreat that I have only one thumbs up to give for the video". :)
Much appreciated brother.
Love Love Love this! Thank you so much for making this video Brother! Everyday, giving thanks, lighting the lamp to learn, reaching out to Brothers with the contagious spirit of love and reflecting on the golden verses of how we can do it better again tomorrow! This simple and beautiful video states the intention, embodiment, and merit of the craft I love so much! HEAR HEAR! #123, Santa Rosa Valley
Gideon 651, that third one definitely we all have to do to me that is probably the most important
Amen!🙇♂
I am a son who believes in the one God, Yahweh, the Creator, and I am a Messianic Jew in South Korea.
I grew up in an Eastern philosophy family that believed in Buddhism.
So, to cultivate your mind, you also practice your mind at the temple.🕵♀
Buddhist statues are just stone or iron and are not worshiped.
The truth is always veiled.💌
I recently joined the Busan Lodge of Freemasonry Korea.
To become Becomes The Good Man, we will work hard to give thanks to God and work together in brotherly love without discriminating against people of different religions.🌞
thank you. sir.🙇♂
define oxymoron the jews killed the messiah and crucified them ther is no such thing as a "messenic jew "
This definitely makes me reflect on being a better human and Masion ❤️
Valley of Reading, Lodge #665 PA MM.
Pray ( Give all thanks and thoughts to God)
Meditate for 2-5 minutes
Read a chapter of Proverbs throughout the day
End the day with contemplation and thanksgiving.
This has transformed my life.
are there some costs that come with joining a lodge?
Yes. Usually there’s an initiation fee and annual dues. But they are not expensive in most cases. I would say that annual dues average between 100 and $200 a year in most places.
#3 is close to one of my favorite things to do. I like to tell other brother to tell each other that you love them and to say it often...and make it weird. We need those connections.
Thank you for that. And nice closing lol. Run brother run!
Profound, simple advice. Thanks for producing and posting this video.

I love this. I expressed interest online. I am hoping for an email soon.
Im currently 17 but am turning 18 soon would i be able to become a mason?
Depends on the state. Have you ever heard of Demolay? You could participate in that right now. What state are you in?
I want to join but I am not in USA
Great point. Can you imagine how much better our world would be if more and more people follow these 4 principles?
We all need to be the change we want to see in the world.
lol the ending 😄 Great advice 🙏 Was just thinking of reaching out to some close friends 💎
are will like to be part of this
