He is motivated by specific principles and a clear future vision. He is aware of his primordial energy, yet it does not rule him. Although he treats women equally, he refuses to let them control him or make fun of him. Despite having a large bank account, he does not identify himself by it. He skillfully strikes a balance between the responsibilities of manhood and the positive traits of the other men we've spoken about.
While he is kind with the people he loves, he is strong and even "violent" in his pursuit of his ambitions. (Man of Industry/Man of Emotion) He views his wife as an equal but never under her control. (Excellent Man/Sophisticated Man) He is fiercely loyal but very perceptive. (Industrial Man/Sophisticated Man) He defends his family and behaves with duty, yet he rejects absurd doctrine and custom. (Excellent/Emotional) He belongs to a bigger group of men yet is a fearless individual. (Emotional / Industrial) He achieves success in his pursuits, yet "success" doesn't define him. (Advanced/Manufacturing)
Because they have mastered one of the archetypes we just discussed, the majority of men believe that they are macho men. They aspire to be like the archetype they find most attractive and revere it.
Rather of basing their masculinity on their fundamental identity, they base it on certain successes and accomplishments. This is the inner monologue in action. I am a man due to the fact that
I am able to construct items.
I am able to endure in the wild.
I'm doing well financially.
I have grace and charm.
I'm romantic and artsy.
I am sage.
I attract a lot of women.
I have a lovely mustache in the vein of the 1920s.
However, these men are unaware of how broad authentic masculinity is. Garrett White refers to someone who obsesses over one of these ideals of manhood as a "one-dimensional douche bag," not as a strong man.
It doesn't make you a man to master women, a career, sex, fighting, survival, or anything else. What makes a man genuinely amazing and grounded is how he blends all of them to create the distinct YOU.
You are a traveler seeking to understand who you are.
And it's your unease and worries that will serve as a roadmap for you to become a fully grounded man.
Getting the Grounded Man Free
You need to reunite the various aspects of your manhood that you have lost contact with in order to rediscover your actual manly nature. You have to accept, name, and pursue your anxieties through to the end in order to accomplish this.
You have to cultivate all the aspects of your manhood, not just one, in order to be a genuinely Grounded Man. You have to master your physical body through weight training, mixed martial arts, eating a healthy diet, getting enough sleep, and other methods.
Your financial situation (as a result of side jobs, investments, entrepreneurship, and professional achievement).
Your romantic life (by learning to seduce, dating purposefully, and tying the knot when you're ready).
Your life on a personal and spiritual level (via isolation, education, meditation, etc.)
Your manly spirit (by reestablishing a connection with the natural world, forming a fraternity, and discovering your calling).
Commence right now. Determine the areas where your male growth is lacking. Face the aspects of your masculinity that frighten you by identifying them. This is the only road forward, the path to becoming a true man.
