As I was preparing my text for a radio presentation on the subject, I kept thinking about how important this subject seems to me and how it can potentially have a huge impact on others. Both men and women.
So what's the suject?
How to be a REAL man.
Now why would I say that this would have a huge impact on both men and women? Simple. Real men are attractive to women, especially REAL women and this makes both the man and the woman happy. Actually, real men and real women are attractive to all men and women, regardless of sexual preference.
What?
Let me explain. Since I have been thinking about this topic, I have come to realise that what constitutes a REAL man and a REAL woman are actually the exact same characteristics. You see, what we all generally think about when we think a perfect person are things like:
Beauty/Handsomeness
Strength of Character / Courage
Humour /Joy /Fun
Love /Caring
Wisdom /Intelligence
Health /Physical Strength
Honesty /Integrity
Wealth / Prosperity
And we usually add things like security, freedom, great in bed, has nice feet/straight teeth...ect.
And these things are applicable to both men and women. The thing is, men place more emphasis on some characteristics, and women place more emphasis on others. And this varies from person to person.
Now, ask yourself these questions:
What characteristics would the ideal man have?
and
What characteristics would the ideal woman have?
If you are a man (or want to be one) use this question to define and clarify what kind of a man you desire to become, and start moving in that direction. If you are a woman (or want to be one) use your definition of the ideal woman to steer you into becoming that woman. Your answer to this is what you desire, deep inside of you, so listen to what comes up from those depths.
For the second part of this exercise, you can figure out what kind of a person you think your ideal partner would be. Just make sure to focus on the personality characteristics, and not the physical or material characteristics, because you never know in what external form your ideal partner will take, and you must remain open to anything. There may even never be just one ideal partner. It could be a few, or many, partners who teach you all that you are here to learn. Just make sure that you pay attention.
And you can also list what you love about your current partner, if you have one. This allows you to focus on the good, to attract more of what you love.
All in all, it can be a very powerful thing to ask yourself what makes a man, a man? And what makes a woman, a woman? It is even more powerful to then ask yourself what kind of a man, or woman, you desire to be.
What is your ideal?
That is what you desire to be.
So be.
Become that.
"Be the change you want to see in this world," as Gandhi used to say.
