Based off social norms men are expected to do certain things. As men we all know what those things are, and we also know when we fail to meet those requirements, and if we are honest with ourselves we'll all admit that it is a real confidence defeater. Partially, because some women tend to look at right now, like Janet Jackson said, "what have you done for me lately." If a man has already achieved success then he is good to go, but if he still finding his way he needs to be focused and confident about where he is heading. Other wise it will be hard to build up enough steam to really get going and make something big happen.
But, first he needs to figure that out. Once he does it will develop more confidence. If you are just trying anything that comes your way, and not sitting down and creating a plan your lost. So, first you need a sound plan.
When you have a sound plan that you believe in, it will give you confidence and optimism about the future. Now the most important thing about a sound plan is that it has to be rooted in your reality. Since everyone's reality is different you have to take all your skills and talents and devise a plan that will compliment your best attributes, so that if you had to carry the idea (in the beginning) you could. Once you have a strong plan you have to take action even if its only baby steps at first. You have to be dedicated if you are already married with a family and you reading this, that means you have responsibilities, so you can't just up and go and dedicate your whole life to your dream, because lives depend on you for survival, so you my friend will just have to work a little bit harder. Like coming home from work and dedicating maybe an hour or two to your new endeavor. Remember the key is developing and sound plan that you can plan all the way to the end.
The reason I reiterate on sound plan and being rooted in your reality is because, the reality is you won't have that many supporters at the start. So don't expected it, not even from the people you would assumed would support you. (especially not them) That is precisely why we are developing our plan in this order. (Major key alert) A plan that gives us power. If you ever notice the pyramid symmetry is every where we look, the reason for that is it's the secret to power. We live in a world of pyramids. Some people are at the head of the pyramid and some are at the foot. However, the secret is we can all create them. My theory is all based off of starting with yourself and creating a pyramid around your best attributes. If you are able do this you will achieve success. Everyone will come to your aide, but first you have to create, then get your first true believer, most likely your mate, and it becomes like a domino affect.
But it starts with you, so, if you think that all you were meant to do was go to work and pay your portion of the bills then I would suggest you have your wife or girlfriend read this and maybe she'll come up with a plan.
We have all been blessed with our own unique talents that are equally important in man's evolution, and right now, we are witnessing technological revolution that is setting the stage for dreamers all over the world.
For me my passion is writing, I like to write about all sorts of things, now with steem I can present my art to the world. Because I dont' have an internet following, I a mean I am virtually new to computers as a whole. So that means I'm a computer nobody so I don't expect to have a ton of people read my writings. At first! I find it very refreshing to have a platform like this express myself to the world. Thank you steem
