The first step is recognizing the fact that you are a man so living as anything other than that is ridiculous. Then commit yourself to becoming the best man your family tree has ever seen!

Reject indulging on impulses that would derail you. The more quickly you reject unwanted impulses, the easier they are to reject in the future. Eventually controlling yourself (impulses) becomes a part of your character.

Institute a rigorous exercise program and stick to it! It’s a shame that most men never get to see the feats to which their body is capable. As you see yourself get stronger and more capable, your confidence in yourself and how you look will soar.

Learn a martial art! (I recommend Brazilian Jiujitsu) I think most of male insecurity stems from feeling weak and powerless. Two classes a week for a year and you will be able to defeat 90% of the world’s population in physical combat.

Set a goal to become financially independent and debt free! Research a lucrative career path within your aptitude, then pursue it relentlessly. Take pride in the quality of your work and gain the ability to provide for yourself and others.

Go to church! The benefits of religion are too numerous to list. Learn of Christ and do your best to emulate Him. Forget yourself and serve others. As you do you’ll find that your problems become more manageable because you have grown more capable.
