TRP tells men to "work on their mission." But many younger men don't know what their mission is; it sounds too theoretical and larger-than-life. Does a man have to change the world in order to become alpha? Surely that task seems discouraging. I too felt that way at one point. I had no mission and didn't know how to find one.

Until a career mentor gave me some advice: every morning when I enter the office, I should write down projects that I need to work on that day.

That specific advice didn't help me find my "mission" per se, but it did keep me focused and organized at my job. However, I gradually realized that the advice's concept could be applied to other aspects of my life. Now, every morning when I awake, I ask myself, "What do I need to accomplish today?" My self-answer includes everything like chores, career, hobbies, social situations, and much more. I mentally list everything that I need to do before I rest my eyes again that evening.

By asking myself this question every morning, I see the bigger picture (aka my mission) over time and break it down to manageable tasks. For example, I am on the planning committee for a Thanksgiving Day parade that has been a neighborhood tradition for decades. So during the past few weeks, I have knocked out all of my responsibilities day-to-day. One day I need to solicit sponsors. Another day I need to send applications to parade entrants. Another day I need to advertise on social media. And so on. This all leads up to the big event, which I know will be successful.

I encourage young TRPers to follow this method. When you wake up, think through every single task that is on your plate for the next 16 hours. Write a physical list if you need to. It ensures that nothing falls through the cracks, and allows you to steadily progress through large projects. Consequently, you will improve mentally, find and stick to your mission, and be one step closer to realizing your masculinity.
