Thinking of doing a video on this topic but wanted to hear your ideas.

Contemplate before you post.


You are God. You are Truth. You are Love. You are Infinity.

A good man draws on the characteristics of the archetypal King, Warrior, Magician, and Lover:

 


"Make a gift of your life and lift all mankind by being kind, considerate, forgiving, and compassionate at all times, in all places, and under all conditions, with everyone as well as yourself. That is the greatest gift anyone can give." - Dr. David R. Hawkins

My thoughts on becoming a good man:

1. Be in touch with feminine side

2. Be curious and engaged with the existential domain

3. Care about growth, discipline, and wisdom

4. Stop blaming and take 100% responsibility

5. Building healthy habits - meditating, reading, journaling, contemplating, exercising, diet, etc.

6. Treating women with respect

7. Learn to not be needy or be a slave to cravings. Don't need anything from anybody.  Be independent. 

8. Be comfortable being in solitude but also with socializing as well.  The biggest issue with masculinity is anti-social or toxic socialization.

9. Learn how to express emotions in a healthy way.  Learn how to feel.

10. Focus on creating a vision and purpose

11. Develop courage to say no to peer influence and yes to what you want.

12. Develop assertiveness

13. Learn how to cope effectively.  Too many men drink beer or do drugs to cope.  A healthy man knows how to cope and handle adversity and develop fortitude.

“Our most valuable resource is not time, but rather it is consciousness itself. Consciousness is the basis for everything, and without it, there could be no time and no resource possible. It is only through consciousness and its cultivation that one’s passions, one’s focus, one’s curiosity, one’s time, and one’s capacity to love can be actualized and lived to the fullest.” - r0ckyreed

There are great men and then there are fakers and degenerates.

if you are a shifty character you will think other such characters are great

you will probably be maga through and through

like i say, you don't measure others you only measure yourself

good is better than me and great is just way better than where i currently am

Grounded. Able to stand on its own feet. 

Able to pursue something independent of, and beyond, himself.

I have one

A good man proactively protects by creating a safe place for the people around him and those he loves. He creates an environment where people can authentically express themselves and be vulnerable by setting up a foundation of empathy and respect for everyone involved 

 


I have faith in the person I am becoming xD
