Embrace the authority of manhood and accept your true self. Fete the manly qualities that define you, such as bravery and persistence. Treasure the characteristics that make you a unique man, such as self-assurance and ambition. Acknowledge that embracing masculinity does not mean disregarding other identities in your life; rather, it is about finding a balance between your male essence and your other roles and responsibilities. Accept the challenges that come with being a man, and accept the growth and personal development that arise from them.
