Connor Beaton outlines five steps for young men to improve their lives: stop blaming women, recalibrate your relationship to risk, engage in healthy confrontation, prune friendships with draining people, and prioritize physical fitness. The focus is on taking responsibility and acting on uncomfortable tasks.
This is what I think that we as men need to do in order to start to shift our lives. Number one, I would stop blaming women, and I would stop worrying against them. Number two, set your relationship to risk. Right? Number three, engage in healthy confrontation. Have the hard conversation. Make the challenging decision. Fire the person, apply for the job, Reach out to somebody. Ask the girl for her phone number. Do the hard thing things. Number four, make friends with people you respect. Let go of the people that are draining you, that are dead weights in your life, that are encouraging a lifestyle that you do not even like. Number five, get your damn body in shape. Stop making excuses. Cut back on the junk food, lift heavy weights. Feel good about how you look. When you start to prioritize that people interact with you differently and you start to interact with people differently.
