I Myself Am Enough | The Mindset for Developing a Masculine Frame

The masculine frame is essentially the mindset a man needs to have in order to cultivate his inner spirit and self confidence. The frame you hold as a men determines to a great degree how you will live your life. You as a man project your frame onto every situation you happen to find yourself in, and through it you influence the people you communicate with. Having a weak frame leads too self doubt, poor communications skills, poor love-life, and being generally perceived as a weak and incompetent man. I wrote more about the importance of masculine frame and how to develop one in an article which you can read at this link. Today I wish to share with you another important piece of the masculine lifestyle puzzle, which represents another way towards developing and strengthening your masculine frame.

Opinions of Other | A Stoic’s Guide to Not Giving a Fuck

The opinions of others is the one thing that we have the least control over in our lives. We can only influence them through passing conversations or through rumors we spread about ourselves by our words and actions. Yet, many men today seem to be greatly disturbed by the endless struggle to try and control the opinions of other people. The one, most important, thing that the Stoic philosophy teaches us is that we should only worry about the things which are in our control, these wise words echo through the ages from the mouths of the wisest sages who walked this Earth to the ears of the modern man who is trying to find a way to be the best man he can be. This great Stoic advice, which in my opinion could be the only advice one ever needs to adopt in order to live a good life, directly goes against the notion that we as men should worry about the opinions of other. As I've said, this thing is so far out of our sphere of control that spending any time at all thinking about this issue leads to nothing but misery and burn-out.
