What makes a man Superior? A Superior Man balances between his masculine and feminine qualities, not shying away from the latter to conform to societal expectations. He is confident and assertive but, at the same time, sensitive and spiritual. His relationships with other people are characterized by a deep emotional connection and intimacy. He isn’t afraid to express love, particularly to his woman, whom he loves passionately. Such a man isn’t limited by stereotypes and doesn’t let them define him and his behaviors. So, how does one become this kind of man?

Work on opening up. When you feel embarrassed or insulted, how does your body react? Do you tense up and withdraw, or maybe go into attack mode? These are not the best ways to respond. Instead, relax your body. Stand up straight, maintain eye contact with the person you’re talking to, and be assertive. Such a calm reaction takes time to master, but it allows you to respond with dignity and intelligence.

That relaxed stance shouldn’t be reserved only for conflict, of course. You should aim to be your most relaxed self constantly. Think of it as your “core,” something deep inside you. That’s where your attention should be focused at all times. If you teach yourself to be relaxed and act from your core, you will experience things much more deeply. Doesn’t matter if you’re working on a project or making love; all of it must come from that place.

You can help maintain your focus with meditative practices, prayers, and insightful literature. And remember that you should approach every moment of your life with a clear understanding of who you are and why you act the way you do. Moreover, you should stop postponing your life. Don’t wait for the perfect moment because it might never come. Instead, devote at least an hour every day to doing what makes you happy and helps you get closer to your dream.

When it comes to your relationship with your woman, always listen to what she has to say, but make decisions based on your own knowledge. Take her insights into consideration, but don’t blame her for the choices you made against your intuition. This strengthens your relationship and mutual trust with your partner while ensuring that you make your decisions independently, rather than simply to please her.
