8 Steps to Stop Being a Little Bitch and MAN UP! Start with improving your hormones: https://average2alpha.com/mangreens/
The best quote about what it means to man up and how our society is crushing that:
“WE MAKE MEN WITHOUT CHESTS AND EXPECT FROM THEM VIRTUE AND ENTERPRISE. WE LAUGH AT HONOR AND ARE SHOCKED TO FIND TRAITORS IN OUR MIDST.”
– C.S. LEWIS, “THE ABOLITION OF MAN”
We have a choice to make, it’s either victimhood or victory. Either be a litte bitch or man up.
In fact, there’s someone going through something far worse than what you’re going through right now or have been through in the past, and they’re getting after it. They’re choosing to control what they can and release what they cannot.
Man Up - History books are filled with men who’ve overcome great tragedy to do great things.
One of the best books I’ve ever read is Man’s Search for Meaning, by Viktor Frankl.
Frankl developed logotherapy, the theory is founded on the belief that human nature is motivated by the search for a life purpose; logotherapy is the pursuit of that meaning for one’s life.
He developed it while in a Nazi Consentration Camp. He discovered that those who found meaning in their suffering not only survived such a horrific period, but often found joy in moments of their days, while others died because of sorrow.
Man up example #2: James Stockdale was shot down and captured at the beginning of the Vietnam War, then kept and tortured for seven and a half years, actually leading men and helping them survive such horrific circumstances through the practice of Stoicism.
From Wikipedia:
In a business book by James C. Collins called Good to Great, Collins writes about a conversation he had with Stockdale regarding his coping strategy during his period in the Vietnamese POW camp.[20]
I never lost faith in the end of the story, I never doubted not only that I would get out, but also that I would prevail in the end and turn the experience into the defining event of my life, which, in retrospect, I would not trade.[21]
When Collins asked who didn’t make it out of Vietnam, Stockdale replied:
Oh, that’s easy, the optimists. Oh, they were the ones who said, ‘We’re going to be out by Christmas.’ And Christmas would come, and Christmas would go. Then they’d say, ‘We’re going to be out by Easter.’ And Easter would come, and Easter would go. And then Thanksgiving, and then it would be Christmas again. And they died of a broken heart.[21]
Stockdale then added:
This is a very important lesson. You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the end—which you can never afford to lose—with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.
Man up step 1. Serve.
It’s difficult to focus on yourself and your problems if you’re serving others. Humans are designed to live in small tribes, communities of 100 max, where we all serve a purpose. If you do not serve a purpose to the tribe, you won’t have a good time within that tribe.
Man up step 2. Lift heavy things.
The act of enduring pain and actually asking for more is the antithesis of being victimhood. Being a pussy means you run from pain at all cost. You hide from it. You do everything you can to avoid it, even lying and cheating and fleeing from it.
Lifting heavy weights is painful. It goes against our nature to want to remain safe and live an easy life. This desire for safety and ease, however, will leave you without meaning, purpose, and it prevents you from acquiring one of the most important attributes a man can have in life, toughness.
Man up step 3. Explore.
Exploration is such a masculine trait. We, as a species and as a sex, have always longed to see what’s beyond our borders. We have a gnawing at our soul to explore the unknown.
Man up step 4. Stay in your lane.
You have to have a goal, a big one. Whatever that goal may be, its pursuit should take your mind off of what others are doing.
WISHING OPPOSES WINNING.
Man up step 5. Do what you don’t feel like doing.
The essence of being a victim or a little bitch or a pussy, whatever name you want to give it, is that you don’t do what you have to do because you don’t feel like doing it.
Too many lives just happen. Your life cannot just happen. It needs to be won.
Man up step 6. Take EXTREME ownership.
A man who takes ownership of his life and each event within it is a man.
Man up step 7. Fight.
Yes, it’s barbaric, but that’s a good thing. We need some barbarism, some grit, some brutality in our daily lives because, gents, we are getting SOFT.
If you’ve never been punched in the face, get on that.
Man up step 8. Practice gratitude daily.
To round the list off, gratitude takes work. For an ambitious fella like myself who takes a sadistic pleasure in thinking about where I am not in comparison to where I would like to be, I have to work at gratitude, but doing so is powerful.
