So, you want to become more masculine, right?
Becoming a man is a tough process, it's not simply living. You are not born a man, you become a man. And so, to become a man, a true man, a strong man, you have to go through self-improvement. I could end the article here, but it's a little short.
In simpler terms, want to be a man? Get onto self-improvement. Meditate, read, work on yourself, expand your knowledge and wisdom, train hard at the gym, eat clean, sleep well, take care of yourself, find a nice haircut, take care of your relationships, work on your projects or businesses, give up your bad habits and build new, positive ones.
If you're doing this correctly, you will undoubtedly be more masculine. But we want more than this.
In this article, I'll show you how to become more masculine. But before we dive into it, you might not even know what masculinity is. In fact, most men do not know what masculinity truly is, as most young men and sadly even older men are quite feminine nowadays: they can't control their desires, they're addicted, brain dead, unassertive, and very emotional.
Therefore, before reading the article, I recommend reading this article about masculinity I made: What masculinity truly is.
The book that changed my life FOREVER
It all started back in the old self-improvement days when I started self-improvement. I began reading books after some months, and I followed the advice of entrepreneur and self-improvement figure Hamza Ahmed. He used to speak about a particular book, a spiritual book, that personally changed his life and which made him more masculine.
Being invested but not totally invested in self-improvement, I took it mildly seriously. At first read, I didn't understand a thing. The words were complicated, the vocabulary rich, the ideas profound, and too "spiritually deep" for me to understand or take seriously. Obviously, as a non-religious non-spiritual young guy who only thought about big muscles and looking like a high-value man instead of actually being one, I wasn't really interested. I read it just so I could say "I have read it" but I wasn't invested at all.
After some time, I decided that it deserved a second read. I began re-reading the book a second time, and I caught myself insulting the author because I thought it was stupid. What an unwise young man I was. I was thinking that all of this was no-nonsense bla bla, and when I didn't understand I would almost like get pissed off at the book. I was highly emotional.
Recently, after having converted to being religious and having a newly found interest in spirituality, I began thinking about giving it a third try. Maybe I was the stupid one, maybe the book was actually great. Maybe it was even fascinating, like I would later discover.
On my third read, after two attempts at reading it, I finally started to open myself to new concepts. When I began reading it at first I was closed in, emotional, weak. I couldn't comprehend the book because I frankly didn't have a singular interest in the book.
And, on my third read, I came with the mindset of "I'm going to figure this book out, and I'm going to listen attentively to its content". A few months later, I am re-reading one chapter of the book every single day, and I want to do this for years, maybe until the end of my life. That is the pure impact of this book.
This book has made me masculine. I was "masculine" outside: I got muscles, a nice haircut, a watch, and good-looking T-shirts and clothes, but I really wasn't. Inside, I was still a child. I was not only immature but unprepared for life.
And here I am. After months of reading this book, applying its concepts, and changing my newly found identity, here, I can assure you: this book is the secret to masculinity. If you only dare to open yourself to the concepts of this book you will find incredible wisdom and knowledge which might also resonate with your life.
Sometimes, I literally see the complicated spiritual concepts from the book, which looks (and I emphasize look, because it's real for the most part) "hypothetical", happening in real life! I see the spiritual complicated profound thinking actually happening in real life. I notice how it works.
It's very complicated at first. But the key word here is: be OPEN. Be OPEN to destroy your identity, be OPEN to insult your ego if needed, and be OPEN to actually get hit in the face, because the testosterone coming out of this book will wake you up to reality.
The Way Of The Superior Man (click here to buy it) is a book written by author and spiritual teacher David Deida. The Way Of The Superior Man is a spiritual book, a guide to masculine living, not focused on superficial and materialistic views of masculinity but on real masculinity, true masculinity, and spiritual masculinity. This book can change your life. It helps us navigate relationships, business, and challenges with a masculine mindset.
I know there are so many book review of so many different books that says "It changed my life" and frankly books are life-changing so we can't complain about that. But when I tell you this book truly is life-changing, it's a wake-up call. It's really THE BOOK you need to read NOW.
By the way, I'm not paid at all by David Deida or Amazon or whatever to promote the book. I simply think this book changed my life, saved me from mediocre living, and made me a true man (even tho I still have a long way to go before becoming my ultimate self). If you had a shallow-breathing, highly emotional father who didn't tell you what you needed to know to prepare you for a masculine life, this book is the antidote.
Not only that, this book doesn't care whether you're religious, nonreligious, whether you're gay, or heterosexual, it doesn't care about your origins or your background or your career, it only cares about making you a genuine, authentic man: it's universal.
3 principles of Masculinity I took out of the book
The principles of masculinity I took out of the book are the following principles I'm about to teach you. I'm going to try to explain it with clear examples so you're not totally lost. These are only a few, not all that I found engaging, because in fact all are actually very important. So remember, these are only a few of the dozens of highly valuable principles from this book.
1) Your priority should be your mission.
Each masculine man has a purpose, a mission that he is born for, that calls to him. This mission, this deep, driving, core purpose is what makes a man complete. If a man sacrifices his highest priority in life (his mission) or deludes himself into thinking his relationship with his wife or his children is more important than his mission, then he is lost, and grasping at puffs of air.
Your mission unravels itself as you unravel your "sub-purposes". Think of it as an onion, you have to peel the outer layers (your sub-purposes) to reach the inner core, your purpose, and your mission in life. What you are born for.
For example, your "main purpose" in life might be to save people's lives. At first, you might be a bully at school. Then, as you grow up, you might become a policeman or a firefighter. Then, you become a father and you learn to protect your kids through martial arts, then you become a grandfather and you save your wisdom by constantly meditating on religious scriptures or books of the greats. As the purposes are peeled, you might discover your actual purpose was to save people's lives: and you lived authentically to it.
Your purpose might be spiritual growth, and before it, you might have to try out intense athletic accomplishments, work as a top executive, go from podcast to podcast, become a full-time author, etc until you reach spiritual growth. You understood the concept.
2) You are always searching for freedom.
The masculine is always searching for freedom: he is trying to get out of his constraints. He is constantly seeking freedom: it's up to him to decide how to. He can find "freedom" in junk food, beer, and pornography, ultimately destroying his life, or he can find it in more spiritual and long-lasting ways: true accomplishments, pride, and hard work on purposeful missions.
It's up to him whether or not he becomes truly free by dying in the giving of his gifts, giving everything he has, kind of as if he was absorbed, dissolved, totally destroyed in the process of loving the world so thoroughly that he breaks apart, or if he becomes falsely free, in reality, more constrained, in his bad habits. Most people opt for option 2, let's go for option 1.
We are always seeking freedom. And this freedom is ultimately love. In reality, both men and women are searching for love. The priority of the masculine is his mission, which leads to giving everything he has to it. He gives, gives, gives, but in reality, what he is giving is love.
For women, the priority of the feminine is the flow of love in relationships (even tho there are more and more masculine women because 90% of men don't put their shit together, so someone needs to have the big forearms in the family). Women are constantly giving and seeking love, and men are indirectly constantly giving and seeking love, therefore, the masculine search for freedom is joined by the feminine search for intimacy, and both collide into what is truly left in the world, the truly important stuff: love.
Even Mike Tyson said in a video that his champion belts and all that cool materialistic stuff and all that success doesn't matter to him anymore. He thinks his children are more important. And this is totally normal, but this highlights the important truth of a man's life: his real purpose at the end of the day has something to do with love. And if a man doesn't give love and doesn't have a positive impact on the world, he is not truly masculine.
For a concrete example: Mike Tyson since we're at it. His whole life his boxing career has been his dominant priority, it was his mission. He fought and became famous and strong, he wanted to be a strong man. However, as time passed, his true mission revealed itself, at least from what I think it is for him, (principle one) to share love, knowledge, and wisdom in the world.
Now, as an old man, not only does he help his community with boxing techniques, but he also teaches so many lessons from his personal experience and external wisdom that he is, at least to me, a wise man and a leader. And if you actually take a look at that "freedom principle", he searched for freedom by breaking through his opponent's attacks, he searched for freedom by being the strongest. And then, he realized love was the most important thing in his life. And the proof is, all along, everything was aligned so he can give knowledge, and positive knowledge that impacts positively people, that is love to me.
3) A man's relationship with his woman shouldn't be his priority, but it should be one of his ultimate priorities in life.
The priority of the masculine (for both man and woman) is his ultimate mission and purpose, whilst the priority of the feminine (for both man and woman) is the flow of love in relationships. Therefore, a man's relationship with his woman is not as important to him as his ultimate mission, and ultimately, he should be able to cut or stop the relationship if it interferes with his ultimate mission in negative ways.
However, a man's relationship with his woman is deeply important to him still. Feminine women, truly feminine ones, provide this rejuvenating power of feminine energy that masculine men deeply seek. It's like the good scent of an incredibly well-cooked dish, it goes through the body, wakes us up, rejuvenates us, and motivates us, it's a strong power of life.
Feminine energy is beautiful, and most men find "lesser forms" of feminine energy through TV and cold beers. But, true feminine energy, the one emitted from a woman's radiant smile or face or body, can truly awaken man to the next level.
Feminine energy is around us everywhere: everything that is not stoic, everything that is moving, alive, awakening. Like nature, for example. But, a true feminine woman gives a particular feeling of feminine energy that is the most rejuvenating most men have ever felt if they ever had the chance to meet such a woman.
And, for the vast majority of men, a relationship represents not only a way to give fully their love to women, to union in divine love, and a man should always give love to his woman no matter what, and he should display his masculine gift by being more and more masculine and loving at the same time, but a relationship also represents a way for men to "recharge" their masculine batteries with feminine rejuvenating power.
And as men, it's normal to sometimes take this energy from other women we encounter in the street or at work. Sometimes, there are beautiful women full of feminine energy outside of our relationships that are around us, and some mediocre men use this excuse to cheat on their partner.
True men, masculine men, actually breathe into this energy and absorb it, enjoying the feminine energy given by the world and by other women, without actually caring about this woman. It's just a natural process: just like you would breathe fresh air, it doesn't mean you want to follow or dedicate yourself to this fresh air, it just means you enjoy it whilst it's passing by.
And a relationship between a man and his woman should be truly important to him. It's an opportunity for growth, for sharing all the love you have until you don't even have any gift left to give, it's maybe even a way for some men to complete a part of their mission. Indeed, some men's actual deepest purpose is building a family.
But truly, a relationship is incredible for a masculine man. It's a way to union and to commute in divine growth and love and service, it's a way to find the person you want to live with for the rest of your life or most of your life, at least if you truly are serious and you want to find women who you could stay with forever instead of running from doorstep to doorstep every few months.
