What IS strength? What does it REALLY mean to be an alpha?
But that's not how it plays out in nature. The Alpha male and the Alpha female are actually the patriarch and matriarch of a family. So it's their pups all different ages, perhaps. But it's one family. And so the Alpha male is looking to protect, care for play with his pups, his family

But a lot of times because of society, men tend to drift towards their masculine energy more, and women tend to drift to their feminine energy more. And I believe that a true Alpha is not afraid to embrace that feminine part of himself. And a true Alpha female is not afraid to embrace that masculine part of herself and any other gender identity is not afraid to embrace both or one or the other

Now, quite honestly, the way that we use the word Alpha now is really to sell articles and YouTube videos. I mean, the amount of content around how to be an Alpha male is overwhelming. And you can figure out why social media has played a major role, much like magazines of old of telling us how we should and what we should do and how to become rich and how to become more powerful and how to become more attractive and how to become more loved

Exactly. I liked that you mentioned that it's often the definition that's used today is often used to sell products. And I think also just to add to that, it's also used sometimes as an excuse, you know. Oh, well, I'm just an album male. And so I can treat others like this or I can do this or that. And really, it's funny to me this is sort of a tangent

And it's not simply just enduring mental anguish and persevering in spite of because no matter how much you can lift, you still are a human being and can get destroyed by any Aper gorilla, regardless of how much you lift. And no matter how much you think you are mentally tough, you probably are going through some anguish. You can't verbalize directly what is occurring in the subconscious anyway. So this idea of an Alpha mail was a very fun tag
I've been really enjoying the views shared by everyone here. And before I get started online, I just wanted to share something I came across as I was reading up about the Alpha behavior in animals. So it's generally believed that with most mammals, the biggest and the most aggressive male claims the Alpha role and gets his choice of food and females

And I think the strongest thing or the strongest attribute that we could have is that we really know ourselves, that we know our limits, our limits for strength or our limits for weakness or what we can do, what we might not be able to do, what we want to do, maybe what we don't want to do so that we're not in a situation where we're stretching so far that we are compromising other values or compromising other relationships in a way that might hurt or harm or damage
