- 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?
Hello From The UK.
From Bro. Rick Kirkby Of The Old Bridlingtonian Lodge 6843... Also A Mark Master Mason & Royal Arch Mason, Soon To Be A Scottish Rite Mason Also.
I Keep In Contact With The Brothers, Most Days...
I Try To Learn New Things, Maybe Not Every Day, But I Do Watch & Try To Answer TV Quiz Questions, Everyday...
So I Guess I Try, To Learn Something New Each Day...
I Must Pray More...
All The Best Brother(s)
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.
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
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.
THIS IS AWESOME I LOVE THIS CHANNEL IT'S LIKE BEING APART OF THE MASONIC CLUB WITHOUT ACTUALLY BEING IN IT.
Too funny.
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 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
Explained very well for those who know nothing about Freemasonry....
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).
Love your channel and it is one of the reasons I’ve take the first step in becoming a Freemason.
I recently visited my local Lodge, one of many in West Lothian, Scotland, as they were having an open evening, met the brethren and filled out the application form. Some of the Masons knew my Grandfather and Uncle who were both in the same lodge. I’m just waiting to hear back from them and begin the process.
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!
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.
Thank you for taking the time to make the videos!
Glad you like them!
Number three is the most important, and a good reminder.
Number four supports that as well.
I haven't been to lodge in a long while. I really needed to hear this. Thanks for the video Brother. Subscribed
Great video, brother! Much appreciated.
Action, thinking, word, choice, feeling.
This definitely makes me reflect on being a better human and Masion ❤️
This is an excellent video, great advice, brother, and personally I like the walking in the woods.
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.
Thank you for words of wisdom!!
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!
Great video, Brother! I do every one of these daily except the third one, which I'm now, having had watched this, incorporating. Shout out to Seattle Valley, but now living in SLC.
#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.
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
That truly helped me, brother! Im a MM at Richmond Lodge 412 in Hephzibah, Georgia. And a 32° Scottish Rite mason from The Valley of Augusta Orient of Georiga.
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
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
Thank you so much for this sharing!
Thank you Brother Rich, Great video!
Thank you Worshipful Brother.
That was very helpful, thx. I'll do 1 and 4 straight away today.
Good stuff Bro! thank you for all you do.
Thanks Mike. See you tomorrow?
Dekalb lodge 144! Woot woot. Everyday I just try to be a little better than yesterday.
😊Sir Thank You for coaching me 🙏🙏 I needed that
Bro. Maynard, I appreciate you creating these videos. I’m from Salt Lake Lodge No. 17 and Valley of Salt Lake City.
I am an EA, 3 months in. Thanks for the amazing video.
Congrats! And enjoy the journey!
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
Great message Maynard! Mt. Ararat here Brother. See you Tuesday
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.
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.
Awesome Video brother!!
Appreciate it!
Thank you. SMIB
Thanks for the video and being willing to walk that path and share your thoughts. Shout Out to The Valley of Stockton, Orient of California. And my humble Blue Lodge; Volcano Consolidated Lodge No. 56 in Amador County, California.
Thank you . Great advice
Glad it was helpful!
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
Grateful, thank you.
Awesome video!!!
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.
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.
I am a 4th generation Mason. A member of York Rite. Past High Priest, Past Thrice Illustrious Master and Commander of Palestine Commandry 11 in New Hampshire. A Knight Mason and York Rite College. My next step will be joining Scottish Rite as my grandfather became a member the 1940s. It is extremely important to pray every day, to call our older members that we don't see at meetings and to strive to improve our selves,
do you masons not swear oaths in your ceremonies? Jesus Christ said in Matt.5;34 swear not by anything. also linking yourselves to non christians in worship is Wrong. do you not know who the sons of Ishamel are? Jesus had no secrets and masonry is wrong!
@@patriciareynolds2729what do you mean linking yourself in worship? There’s no worshipping going on at the lodge. That is for your church.
@@patriciareynolds2729 I’m not a Freemason but I do know there is no worship in their meetings. When you go on public transport or interact with society, as a Christian do you ignore and treat non Christians differently? Or do you love your neighbour as yourself and pray for those that persecute you!? Blessed are those who are reviled because of me… not very Christlike now, get off your holy high horse and remember we are all sinners and fall short.
Thank you Brother!
Thank you for sharing from Punta Gorda Lodge 115 and Scottish Rite Valley of Fort Myers Fl
Great work! Buckeye Lodge#150 & Valley of Cincinnati.
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)
🙌🏽💛 Good Day to all ! Stay safe 🪽
Thanks Brother
Perfect video brother
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
Step Four was a good one!
Greetings brother! I’m Jeff a master mason from the Great state of South Carolina AFM,just wanted to say hello and thank you for this video! I needed it!!! Happy thanksgiving!!!
Happy Thanksgiving Brother!! Thanks for watching!
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.
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.
Profound, simple advice. Thanks for producing and posting this video.

Thank you. I learned a lot from the video. I also needed that. 🌿☠️
Thanks!
Really cool
Mirror work. Look at you in the mirror everyday, tell you all the good things you did, tell yourself what is important in life, God, family, friends, helping others, develop relationships, love your brothers and sisters, forgive those who have hurt you, and keep focusing on the path of your higher self calling, staying away from the distractions.
Amazing
Ha, thanks Brother…. Greetings from Scottsdale 43. Nothing wrong with walking in the woods, great way to connect with /G\.
I definitely need to get better at #3
Great video, and yes Masons go into the woods lol, I am a PM of Winnipeg River Lodge 154, as well as a 32 degree Scottish Rite Mason with the Valley of Winnipeg. Manitoba Canada, Really enjoy your videos

Hello Brothers Raised MM in H.E.B Lodge No.74. I try everyday to improve and learn something new everyday to improve myself and those around me.
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.
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 "
My uncle was a MM and a police officer would come by our house and they would sit in the car for hours talking we never knew what they spoke about but he always was in good spirits
Great video my brother.

@@ScottishRiteMasons Becoming a Mason is one of the best things I've ever done. Between my schedule and Covid, it's been tough getting to Lodge recently. And Lodge is my personal place to worship and fellowship. So, I really appreciate your videos... When Covid started, I made it a point to visit a brother as much as I could. That really turned into a blessing for me.
I'll keep watching out for videos. All the best.

I respect the lengths you go to provide enlightening pieces of advice, but can you also talk about the influence of those actions you recommend?
For example, praying to God for allowing us to live ( can you explain this concept a bit more thoroughly )
Any man of faith knows that we owe our lives to God. I’m not sure I understand your question In terms of influence.
@ScottishRiteMasons perhaps, you are right. I did not formulate my question clearly. Why do we need to perpetrate actions that mainly rely on faith, because personally, even though I may be misguided, I don't think " faith " in itself is a good enough tactic to employ when trying to achieve things. Perhaps, any type that provides assurance about the outcome is more reliable.
i like that area you were in, i want to build a cabin in a place like that
