Who is a Real Man?

Last Updated on October 16, 2023 by The Unbounded Thinker

A real man believes in himself and follows his dreams. He does not fear the uncertainties and risks that accompany following one’s dreams. He prefers the anxiety that comes with risk-taking to the depression caused by stagnation. He makes bold moves knowing that fortune favors the bold.

A real man embraces Amor Fati. That is, he accepts whatever life throws at him. If the present moment is good, he becomes thankful, if not, he does not resist it. He welcomes difficulties, knowing that they are a natural part of life and resisting them is resisting life. He also understands that every challenge a man overcomes results in stronger willpower, self-confidence, and more trust in the flow of life.

A real man must be ready for life’s trials and tests, and he must believe he will pass them. He must be thankful for the trials because they enable him to discover his greatest abilities. He must realize, as Jim Rohn writes, that “life is designed to be a story of achievement in spite of adversity, not in the absence of adversity, for without adversity achievement could not exist.”

A real man is spiritual. He knows that he is one with the Intelligent Power that created the world. Thus, he strives to understand his divine nature and his relationship with this Intelligent Power through meditation, contemplation, yoga, or prayer. He also searches for spiritual truths, knowing that they will change his life by sparking a whole new awareness of physical reality.

A real man realizes that his thoughts and actions create his reality. For this reason, he thinks positively and works like hell. Although he is aware that many other factors, such as political, economic, and social factors, shape his reality, a real man does not blame them for his misfortunes. He does not complain about them because he knows that nothing can prevent him from creating the life he desires.

A real man does not beg women for sex. He controls his sexual urges, knowing that too much sex is detrimental to his physical, intellectual, and spiritual development. He realizes that women are not more special than him and avoids pursuing them. He focuses on his dreams, knowing that thousands of women will chase him if he lives an authentic and successful life.

Be a real man. Don’t simp. Follow your dreams, take risks, believe in yourself, and work hard.

Choose action, not laziness. Choose trust, not doubt. Choose boldness, not cowardice, choose risk, not safety, and most importantly, know that nothing is impossible for a real man.
