Want to be a man who naturally commands respect?
Super easy, bro.
Just do this...
1. Admit your dad didn’t do a perfect job.
2. Be consciously angry towards him.
3. Forgive him.
4. Admit your mum didn’t do a perfect job.
5. Be consciously angry towards her.
6. Forgive her.
7. Heal and develop a healthy relationship with violence.
8. Become excellent at communication because it’s ridiculously easier than you think and has the greatest ROI of any skill you can master.
9. Practice dying + come to peace with your death.
10. Learn to cry.
11. Learn to cry without covering your face or collapsing.
12. Meet your inner child and be the father for him that he needed.
13. Stop being an atheist. That’s dumb.
14. Become proficient at unarmed combat. Striking + Grappling.
15. Confide in a group of emotionally mature men, but make it about 60% being held accountable and 40% sharing struggles.
16. Stop needing women.
17. Make your body fit and strong so that you are hard to kill.
18. Admit you need a woman.
19. Dance.
20. Learn to consciously suppress your emotions - suppression has its time and place.
21. Learn to process emotions through the body or you will get ill.
22. Learn to differentiate between thoughts in your head and energies in the body.
23. Learn how to get rich.
24. Get rich.
25. Explore the realm of sexuality (including BDSM) until you understand the profundity of Safety and Permission.
26. Feel your ancestors in your bones. Make them proud.
27. Know that most modern mental health advice was designed by women, for women, and turns men into women, which makes you unattractive to women.
28. Just learn to be honest about what you’re feeling - it’s not that complicated.
29. Do what you said you would do, dickhead.
30. Have at least some experience growing your own food.
31. If you eat meat, don’t let yourself go your whole life without dispatching and butchering the animal you eat at least once, so that you develop the appropriate reverence for animals and all life.
32. Take fashion advice from women or gay men (but establish your own style).
33. Fast.
34. Aim to be the most capable man in the room, always.
35. Have at least 6 months of living entirely alone and without seeking comfort or assistance from any woman. Every dish washed, every shirt ironed, bed made, every meal prepared - by you. Limit conversation even with female friends and family members for that time. Stay off ‘sites’. You will develop an appreciation for being served by The Feminine in a way that women can feel the moment they meet you.
36. Have kids.
37. Become their hero.
38. Say sorry. Genuinely. But only once. Then carry on trying your best. Guilt is good. Shame is not.
39. Stop overthinking your purpose.
40. Admit that you are simply a servant to a Power greater than yourself.
41. Serve.
42. Keep going until you have multiple women who want you.
43. Choose the one who, when in her presence, your heart softens, your breathing slows down, you cannot help but become exquisitely present, and who makes you want to become an even better man.
44. Work hard to give her a life of safety and freedom, so that her light grows stronger and never dims.
