The most crucial aspect to reclaiming your masculine nature is committing to something with every fiber of your being. You have to want to improve and take responsibility for your life so bad that you’re willing to jump without knowing where you’ll land, you have to put yourself in a very vulnerable position where you’re either going to win or you’re going to get fucking wrecked.

This is the masculine way, this is how men commit to goals they are passionate about and what could you be more passionate about than saving yourself and taking control over the brief life you have on this planet?

It seems easy, yet are you able to recall the last time you did not back down to avoid confrontation?

Many men can’t think of a time where they took an action or they took a stance without leaving just a little bit of doubt or ‘self’ behind just incase they were wrong or needed to retreat. It’s a sad fact I’m not proud of, but I know men who have never stood their ground and committed & defending their stance or opinion on a matter – not once in their life have they planted their feet and refused to accept anything but victory.

Brothers, this is exactly what you must do when you make the decision to reclaim your masculine nature(swallow the pill). You’ve got to go into that decision with everything you have, leaving nothing behind, no hesitation, doubt, or fear. This decision is not one which can be made halfheartedly; you are in or you are out: all or nothing.

The guys who took the advice of the Manosphere and left saying it was bullshit are the guys who half assed their commitment to the act of becoming a man again. They can’t say the Manosphere is bullshit because what they did was not what the Manosphere told them to do. If you can’t commit to the program, then you never followed the program. It isn’t the fault of the masculine pipeline that you’re too weak or you’re too fucking afraid to let go of the system that has feminized you and kept you safe inside the mold it made for you

The guys who don’t commit their entire ‘self’ to the transformation, they never make it. You have to be 100% ready to own your fucking life, if you give 80% it’s not enough. Leaving that 20% behind leaves 20% of you to fall back if times get rough. When you have an escape route, you’ll never commit 100% to the attack, you’ll never tap into that ‘do or die’ mindset and because of this, you’ll revert back to who you were.

This is it, you’ve committed & there’s no turning back.

There is no retreat; there is no returning to who you once were. When you see the strings which control those around you, you can never unsee them. Understand that once you start the voyage to reclaiming your masculine nature you’ll never return to who you were, no matter how bad you want to. So choose to do something you haven’t done in years, something you’ve possibly never done in your fucking life – give every shred of who you are to the act of improving yourself, owning your life, and taking responsibility for where you are and what you have or have yet to achieve in this life.

It isn’t the fault of your mother, brother, wife, or friends. No, it’s your fault that you became weak, fat, and sensitive; if you want to make a change then you need to stop lashing out at those around you and recognize that you need to look inside and accept responsibility for all of it.

This is your fucking life, you are the only one who is with you for the entire ride. Now you need to dig fucking deep and find comfort in the discomfort of reality. When you calm the fuck down and you’re able to feel that fire growing inside I want you to turn inward, grab the spark of masculinity which is trying to break through and you fucking fan that flame until there is a god damn bon fire in your heart and soul – then you act.

You make one small act today, then another. Draw a boundary here, lead there, and challenge yourself over and over again. Sharpen your mind and as you progress your body will catch up. Make yourself hard, make yourself a leader, and in time you’ll make yourself a man again.

There is no going back, and this is why you must burn that fucking ship on those foreign shores. You will die here before you retreat home. You will win this battle against yourself or you will fucking die trying. If you quit or save that ship and use it to retreat, you’ll be left forever afloat in the abyss of what could have been – alone, depressed, resentful…

If you burn your ship on the shores of masculinity, you remove that disgraceful fate.

You have to stand your ground; you have to tell your wife and friends “No.” from time to time. When the whole world is telling you that they don’t like muscles and you should just have a little snack you’ve got to accept they are against your progress. They want you to do well, but never better than them. You’ve got to look at your wife and recognize she will never love you the way you love her.

You’ve got to set yourself up for success by removing the possibility of failure. There is no failure if you remain committed to who you are as a man. You marriage may fail, you may have to cut friends and family out of your life, and you may take a financial hit in the process, but none of that matters so long as you are pursuing your mission in this life.

Cutting friends out of my life, specifically blue pill friends who laugh at the hint of the idea that a man's role is to lead, has done me well.

We recently signed my son up for Boy Scouts and I have found myself in the center of a different social circle. My son befriended another kid in his first year of school last year who's dad is actually the den leader.

This guy brews his own beer, has his pilots licence, has a motorcycle, and every week after scouts, the dad's and I all gather at his house for a few beers. These are all men who appear to "get it", each displaying their own alpha attributes. They are all at least 10 years older than I am and I have taken this opportunity to learn from them.

So, don't be afraid to ditch your old friends who fight against your progress as you look to increase your value or become a better man, because you will find yourself available to be welcomed into a new, better social circle, with people who support your desire to become a better man.

Absolutely brother, as we grow and improve the fact of the matter is we no longer need those friends.

They act as anchors instead of fuel.

The same goes with family, I used to feel an obligation to my family but no longer - life is just too short and I've got too much going on. I don't have time for those damn time vampires

I taught Shotgun Shooting and firearm safety with my oldest's troop. At about 13 I knew he was hooked on Skeet and so were a few of his friends, so I started buying two cases of shells and I would let any boy hooked, shoot until they just couldn't talk about 10 foot tall boys walking away from a life altering activity

I was active and taught numerous other activities and cooked with some of the other men for the leaders and sometimes for the boys, topping one event off with camp fire "crem brule' "

The influence of the older guys will be great, the comrade will be excellent, all the while getting out of the house

I will agree with TFA and the jettisoning of the old friends that are anchors will be liberating

Stay active with the boy.

Screechhater, check it out. Last night was the pack meeting. Immediately afterward I was approached by one of the leaders and was asked if I wanted to be assistant den leader.

Of course I said yes. My son is thrilled, I'm excited.

Sage advice. It serves as a gentle reminder that those blue pill guys will try to pull you down and back into their blue pill world. Watching you take the red pill and escape reminds them of their pitiful existence.

You are on the money when you say either commit 100 or dont commit at all.

I half-assed it for the first 6 months and my life actually got shittier because I was committed to nothing. Beta, Alpha, red pill blue pill, a mixing pot that changed as quick as the sand falling through a timer.

Once fully committed, it is a totally different ball game. Won't ever go back.

All in, it's the only way this works.

Makes me think about this meme, which I also think about regularly

Badass

What they miss and what I am trying to get you to understand is that you can take this action at any point in time. You’ve never needed your wife’s permission to live life as a masculine man.

Yep. Well-said.

I'm reminded of the great sentence: "I didn't use my initiative because nobody told me to."

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
