hey everyone and welcome to top think today we're going to learn about 10 signs you're an alpha male
now let's begin number one constructive honesty the truth can be scary it's difficult to tell
others how you really feel it's frightening to admit your weaknesses and vulnerabilities
because those weaknesses may be used against you but alpha males have the courage to be honest
with others and themselves when you think about alpha personalities what do you think about you
may think of leadership passion and motivation you think of strength and charisma but before
you can be confident and courageous you have to be honest you have to be honest with who you are
and you have to be honest with the people in your life well just take this situation you notice
your friend has given up on their goals they're losing sight of their passions and you may be the
only one who can help them to help your friend overcome this challenge you have to take a risk
you have to have a difficult conversation with him in that conversation you may feel like the bad guy
after all you're challenging their habits and pushing them toward change conversations like
these are intimidating and emotionally taxing but they're incredibly valuable
a single honest conversation can change the course of your friend's life
alphas know how powerful honesty can be so they use the truth to inspire and connect with others
sometimes their honesty creates conflict some people aren't ready to hear what they need to hear
if they're willing to change honesty builds an even stronger connection between you turning a
friendship into a lifelong bond the same goes for your relationship with yourself some people
aren't ready for an honest interpretation of their identity but you are if honesty is something you
value and practice you may be an alpha male number two careful reasoning do you make rash decisions
are you impulsive or temperamental if you are you may not have an alpha personality the term alpha
male is commonly associated with angry men forcing their will on others but there's nothing alpha
about anger and impulsivity the truth is alphas like you are calm and careful decision makers you
don't make harsh radical judgments about the world around you you don't let your emotions control you
and you make decisions that you and the people in your life can be proud of every decision you
make deserves a moment of thought and reflection every decision big and small can be intentional
but there's a big difference between decisive reasoning and overthinking anyone can overthink
anyone can cycle through negative patterns reliving the same hypotheticals again
and again overthinkers tend to be indecisive and frazzled but alphas are just the opposite
when you face a difficult choice you pause you think and then you make a firm decision
why is that because your emotions can immediately cloud your judgments
you get angry sad or excited and those emotions will drive you to make impulsive choices
you rarely make impulsive choices because you give your feelings time to stabilize
you keep your composure you wait until the dust finally settles and then once you can see clearly
you make a conscious choice and you stick to it number three personal pride few people associate
self-care with alpha personalities there's a myth that every alpha male is an effortless provider a
natural caretaker of themselves and of others but it's not effortless at all it takes a lot of hard
work to look and feel like an alpha male you need to invest in your personal care you have to take
pride in your appearance one that will help you develop the confidence and charisma of an alpha
personality now i'm not saying that every alpha is the most athletic or attractive guy in the room
but as an alpha you have as much confidence as anyone because you've worked hard to improve
yourself you've taken control of your physicality you present yourself to the world as someone who's
proud and intentional that personal pride is one of the most inspiring traits of an alpha
personality but it doesn't happen automatically it takes time and effort to look as good as you feel
just like it takes time to feel as good as you look most people aren't willing to put in the work
but if you're an alpha male you take your personal pride very seriously number four chasing ambitions
alpha males dedicate their lives to their goals they chase their passions with a work
ethic that inspires others but the greatest asset of an alpha male is their courage
many people are afraid of their own ambitions they don't know what success looks like they're
afraid of failure they think they're not prepared intelligent or talented enough to achieve their
dreams these doubts create fear and fear keeps you from accomplishing your goals alpha males work
every day to overcome their fears you know that success isn't easy simple or risk-free so fear
will always threaten your ambitions it will always stand in your path like a wall you have to climb
again and again you could admit defeat you could convince yourself that the wall is too high but
if you're an alpha male you don't let fear stand in your way you're just as scared as everyone else
but you overcome your hurdles anyway the only way to get rid of fear is to face it
number five the influencer alpha males don't care what people think about them sure they want to
make good impressions they're always conscious of social standards and they want to surpass
expectations but those expectations never cloud their individual identity an alpha male shapes
their self-hood from the inside out you're not influenced by the opinions of others instead
you do the influencing other people respect and admire you because you've transformed
yourself into someone worth respecting number six uncomfortable risks do you take risks do
you throw yourself into uncomfortable situations alpha males are always looking for a challenge
they're not afraid to take risks in fact they want to take risks why is that because alphas
know how important new experiences can be they widen your perspective they give you confidence
they infuse your world with a brand new spectrum of possibilities if you hide inside your comfort
zone you may be safe and protected everything may feel easy and familiar but you'll never
understand what you're truly capable of i'm willing to bet it's a lot more than you think
if you're an alpha male you push yourself to challenge yourself more than most but you
don't take those risks to appease or attract other people you aren't interested in getting
attention or satisfying expectations as an alpha male you take risks to change your relationship
with yourself you're a bold and adventurous person and you wouldn't have it any other way
number seven social magnets do people enjoy spending time with you alpha males are social
magnets they attract all kinds of people because they motivate and inspire their social circles
people feel stronger and more passionate around you because you as an alpha male
represent the type of person they want to be they want to be as passionate as you are they want to
be as kind and honest as you are you've worked hard to achieve things that very few people have
and those accomplishments have turned you into a social magnet
number eight meaningful silence alpha males mean what they say and they say what they mean they're
intentional with their language but they also know the power of silence we've talked about the way
alpha males express themselves they're honest they speak up they do what they need to do sometimes
you're out of your depth sometimes you're standing in unknown territory in moments like these
an alpha will close their mouths and listen they accept that they don't know everything and they're
willing to learn from the wisdom of others now this may sound backwards to you we imagine alpha
males as stubborn bull headed characters who need to hear themselves talk actually real alphas are
not argumentative or narrow-minded they don't talk just to hear the sound of their own voice
they talk when they need to talk but they also listen when they need to listen if you're an alpha
male your language and your silence show both pride and humility strength and empathy each word
and each pause represents you as an individual and that gives you a powerful personality
number nine habitual change alphas have a keen understanding of how they live their lives they
reflect on the habits and routines that govern their mental and physical states if you're an
alpha male you ask yourself questions like are my habits helping me are my routines making me more
productive what vices are slowing me down you ask these questions because you want to live the best
life that you can you're observant of the positive habits that fuel you while actively addressing the
bad habits that bring you down you don't have to have everything figured out no one can live a life
that's 100 positive or 100 percent productive but as an alpha you want to improve and grow if
you see something you don't like about yourself you don't get angry you don't complain you make
an active effort to change you form new habits and little by little you start to see results
number 10 social investments as an alpha male you're protective of the people around you
if you thought alpha males were selfish or conceited then think again
alpha males are some of the most generous and altruistic individuals in the world
because they actively invest in the people they care about when someone needs them alphas are
there to lend them a helping hand if someone is slipping alphas will catch them alphas know
that strength and happiness aren't things you achieve alone so they treasure their
communities and they encourage their loved ones to improve and succeed hey thank you
