Having these four things will not only ensure that you do not waste valuable time and energy as you evolve, but it is what you will rely on to hold yourself accountable to a higher standard. You will feel 10 times proud of yourself if you can stick through building these skills.
Purpose
This is the number one area a man needs to work on to feel powerful and competent in the world. A man's purpose is his anchor, where he gains his leverage, and is what he pours his heart into together with all his skills, value, knowledge, time, and attention.
Understanding your purpose is critical to having clarity in life so that you're not wondering aimlessly in life without a sense of direction, which is what you need to feel alive as well as stay on your edge as a masculine man.
When you're on your masculine edge, you are willing to risk your life to fulfill a bigger goal than yourself, handle this part and you eliminate most of your self-inflicted problems that eat at your masculine essence.
Role Model/Mentor
A mentor is someone who is ahead of you in life or is more skilled in an area that you're working to become competent in, someone who has been where you are right now and therefore has knowledge and understanding that you could make use of on your journey.
Having a mentor is important because when you have someone that you can trust to lead you, you make fewer mistakes. You have someone to validate the knowledge that you are acquiring, an accountability partner.
Hobbies/ Interests
Hobbies are activities or things that you do that connect you to your inner child, they also provide an invaluable source of inspiration, it is the things you do that give you joy, pleasure, and fulfillment within yourself.
Reclaim your masculinity blog is here to encourage you to discover what may have been lost along the way as you transition from a boy to a man. All of us have talents that are unique and that are locked within us waiting to find expression.
Tribe/ Brotherhood
A lot of men nowadays feel lost because they do not have any connection to other men with whom they freely express their masculinity without fear, shame, guilt, or judgment.
As I have mentioned in other blogs, masculinity is under attack from so many forces that are against men simply being who they are.
The current culture is against what masculinity stands for, and because of that men have little to no safe spaces where they reinforce their sense of manhood without interference or infiltration.
If you can identify your tribe, men who have a similar sense of duty, honor, and purpose as yourself, men who you have shared values with, then you can heal your sense of broken identity within yourself, and you can also be proud to have a sense of belonging.
It's reassuring to know that your ideas are validated by a group of men just like you in the world, that alone gives you the confidence to stand against narratives and voices that attack your sense of being.
