After the Anger Phase

"What is the next step on the great journey of the unplugged 21st century male?"

I imagine for every man you ask you'll get a different answer. It's your life. What's your vision for it? For me, after coming off a 20 year marriage its time for some fucking adventure and to do some shit I've always wanted; skydiving, traveling, banging women in public restrooms, that type of shit.

Great question. I too feel like I've only begun to reclaim my masculinity.

How do you define success? Money and respect?

Focus on yourself and what you need to do to get those two things. Usually you need to respect yourself before others will respect you.

After anger comes acceptance. You were mad about it, but now you realize that anger was as pointless as being mad at the sky for raining. But that's fine. That anger gave you the fuel to push yourself into action. That anger was useful. But now you don't need that anger, so you can put it aside.

With acceptance comes clarity. You see the landscape around you through a new lens. Instead of just bashing your way through it with anger, you've learned that you can now maneuver gracefully, choosing to avoid the arguments, entanglements and unpleasantness that your angry self would have charged into.

You see the social game for what it is - a game. So now it's time to play. Use your knowledge to get what you want, to be who you want to be and to not be that clueless fuck you used to be before discovering TRP.
