For thousands of years our ancestors had a purpose to live for. They hunted, gathered, built, conquered, and created – all for their families and God. They kept pushing through the obstacles and achieved their goals, because they wanted the best for their wives, children, and countries.

Nowadays, though, many individuals experience a severe lack of purpose. Religion no longer plays a great role in most societies of the world, family and marriage are on the decline, and men are left wondering about the reason they exist in the first place.

You can think whatever you want about religion, but you cannot deny: it used to provide people a sense of importance, meaning, a promise that if they keep working hard, heaven awaits them.

Most people no longer have anyone telling them that their lives are important on a weekly basis. It’s up to us men now to find a cause to live for. In this article, I want to tell you about masculine purpose, how it will change your life, and how you can find yours to make your life meaningful.

Why Young Men Struggle

Hundreds of millions, if not, billions of guys worldwide suffer from addictions, emptiness, lack of motivation, goals, ambition, low testosterone, anxiety, depression, and even suicidal thoughts. Why is that the case?

As said before, most guys have nothing to live for. They merely exist in the cycle of “eat, sleep, nine-to-five, repeat”, without seeing an end to it. If there is no goal to strive for, no reason to push forward, no reason to overcome obstacles, challenges, and no reason to be – why would a man be happy and fulfilled?

This creates a big void inside a man’s heart, which he tries to fill with meaningless pleasure, dangerous bad habits, casual sex, and sometimes criminal activities. Such pleasure, even though makes one happy in the short term, absolutely destroys their lives years later.

This is why we see millions of men lock themselves up in their rooms and beat their meat 15 times a day. This is why we see thousands of men kill themselves every year. Modern men are so empty and depressed that many of them no longer want to live.

Lack of purpose is the root of men’s problems. You and I know this by experience. Let’s look at the other side of the question now: how does a man with meaning live?

What Purpose Does to You

While most men merely exist and serve as slaves to big corporate entities, allowing them to control every aspect of their lives, men with purpose carve their own path. If you have a purpose, then you by definition are a masculine man. Why?

Because masculine men have goals that they work hard to achieve every single day. It’s because they wake up with a burning desire and pashion to work on their craft and excell at it.

An entrepreneur wakes up and spends his day creating content, improving his products, enhancing his marketing, and bringing value to customers. A writer wakes up and creates articles, books, and other pieces that influence thousands of readers around the world. Singers wake up and practice their skills to bring joy to millions of fans worldwide.

When you have a craft that you can work on, goals that are related to this craft, and a burning desire to help other people using your work, you are guaranteed to live a happy life. Purpose fills the void that kills thousands of men, and redirects your conscious efforts from wasting time on instant gratification to helping other people improve their own lives.

Purpose not only benefits a man himself, but his community too. It’s time for me to help you find your own purpose, craft, and work hard on them daily. I will guide you through the process of introspection that will ultimately help you decide your craft and star in the sky.

How to Find Your Own Cause

Before we begin, grab a notebook and a pen, put all unnecessary technology away to another room, and make sure no one is there to interrupt you. Silence and writing will stimulate your mind and help it generate new ideas that will guide you closer towards a better life. Ready? Let’s start.

1: What Do You Want?

Think about this question really well and give it an answer. What do you want? Not what society wants, not what your friends want, not even what your parents want. What do you and you only want to do as a man?

Maybe you always wanted to become a good writer, a businessman, a lawyer, or a soldier. Maybe you want to start a family with a beautiful wife, or live alone and travel to diverse countries.

Whatever the things are, write them down in your notebook, and try to describe them in detail. Think of where you’d like to live, how you’d spend your day, and things that would make you happy on a regular basis. Dive deep into this introspection, and allow ideas to flow into your head as you write and imagine a perfect live of yours.

This step is already difficult for many men to do. We hear the noise of the outside world so damn much, try to please other people so damn much, lose ourselves in the routine so damn much that we forget who we are. By identifying ourselves through wants and expectations of other people we lose touch with our inner selves and our true potential.

Let this be no more. Let your Inner Self out and allow it to express itself and its desires. After you finish writing a detailed answer to the question, we can move on to the next step.

2: What Problems Do You Want to Solve?

Life as a man is all about solving problems. To find a purpose, you need to know what problems and issues of our world you will deal with.

For better understanding, let me tell you about the problems I solve. My primary mission is to help men and boys around the world improve their mental health, quit addictions, improve their lifestyles, and become masculine men that are happy and proud of themselves.

I solve problems of hopelessness, purposelessness, lack of drive, testosterone, ambition, and masculinity through writing articles and ebooks. What issues do you want to eliminate?

Maybe you are worried of the global population becoming obese to the extremes, want to spread awareness about it, and help people lose weight through helpful information and products. Maybe you want to stop global warming from destroying humanity, and want to come up with a way to combat it on a global scale.

To find your purpose, pick problems that are important to you, and write them down.

3: Why Do You Want to Solve Them?

Let’s move on to an even more important question. Why do you want to solve the problems you’ve picked? What made you think so?

Did this problem affect you personally in the past? Did your life get damaged by it? What is the big reason you want to make it dissapear in our world?

I solve problems mentioned above, because I experienced them myself in childhood and early teenage years. I was a loser without ambition or drive that had nothing better to do than scroll, play crappy video games, and watch porn that progressively got worse. For most of my life I was empty, unable to form healthy relationships with others and find my purpose.

But I managed to get out of this state before it ruined my life for good. Seeing how millions of boys and men struggle with same issues, and having solutions for them, I decided to start this blog and help people out through writing – an activity that brings me joy, stimulates my mind, and takes my cognitive abilities to their limits.

I am now a happy man who has a goal worth pursuing, and who expands the website you’re currently reading with more and more useful content every day.

Figure out why you want to deal with issues you’ve chosen, write this reason down in detail like I did above, and you’ll find your purpose.

4: How Will You Deal With Them?

It’s time to get to the interesting part: which craft or activity will help you solve the problems you want to solve? This craft must be a thing that you will do daily, and that will bring you joy whenever you do it. What craft is it?

Maybe you want to be a writer like me, and make a living by writing 1000-2000 words of valuable of content daily. Or, you can be a businessman, make your own great product, and sell it to those who need it.

Think of a craft or occupation that will get you to the place you want to be in. Think of different options, analyze the pros and cons, and make your pick.

I highly recommend you pick something related to business. Business and selling give you much more freedom and control over your income, and allow you to work whenever and wherever you want. Jobs have limited income growth potential, and severely limit your time freedom. If you’re fine with that, and your job of choice is aligned with your purpose, then feel free to mark it as your purposeful craft.

Now you know what you want in life, what problems you want to solve, why you want to do it, and how you’ll deal with them. It’s time to do the last step of helping you find your purpose.

5: Write Down Your Purpose

Based on your answers in the notebook, write down your main Life Mission.

“My purpose/life mission is to do X, because Y.”

There you have it. Your source of masculine potential. Your source of drive and power. The Reason to Be and live.

Believe it or not, but you’ve just achieved more than most men achieve in their whole lives. Unlike them, you now have a reason to wake up early in the morning and work on something truly important.

Work will now feel enjoyable, and you will crave it. You will no longer feel like a little man who has no control over the world, but as a beast that will shape the world the way you want it to look like. You will no longer waste time on useless activities and seek external validation, because your masculine work and purpose will validate you.

Who knows, maybe one day you will change the world and eliminate your chosen problem entirely. But for now, you need to how you’re going to make it.

How to Work on Your Purpose

Consistency beats intensity. To beat competition, achieve goals, and create successful products, you need to do daily focused work without interruptions. Build the fundamental good habits, learn how to do deep work, and how to stop procrastinating all the time.

Work hard every day, improve your mental health, optimize your brain and body, and cut out the unnecessary bullshit. Do these, and you will succeed.

Summary

Many men struggle today, because they have nothing to live for. They merely exist in a cycle instead of moving forward, which causes stagnation and depression.

Purpose will turn you into a masculine man who is proactive, confident, brave, hardworking, happy, and unstoppable. To find your purpose, you should find out what you want from life, what problems you want to solve, why they matter to you, and pick a craft that will allow you to get rid of them for good.

Adopt good habits, dump old degenerate ones, do daily focused work, and after a few months or years, you will succeed.

90% of life problems and bullshit thoughts go away when you discover your star in the sky. Follow it daily, and never allow the external circumstances or people to convince you that you’re doing something wrong.
