Strong principles
One of the key aspects of maintaining a masculine frame, is to go about life with a strong set of principles. These principles will differ from man to man, but should serve as the ruling guidelines by which a man conducts himself in society. These principles should cover a wide variety of areas in a man’s life, including his moral beliefs, his work ethic, and how he wishes to be treated by others. Developing this set of moral and ethical principles requires deep inward reflection, and necessitates that a man ask himself what he truly believes in.
The kind of questions a man needs to ask himself in order to develop strong principles are things such as “what am I willing to do to get ahead?”, “what change do I want to make in the world?”, and where he draws his personal lines between right and wrong. A man who has asked himself these questions will naturally carry himself with more self-confidence in life, and find himself more able to maintain his masculine frame.

Confident demeanor
Masculine energy is inherently notable for its strong and confident demeanor. A man who is able to keep within the masculine frame will naturally carry himself with confidence throughout life. This can be felt through the confidence with which he makes decisions, the body language with which he carries himself, and his ability to admit when he is in the wrong. Confidence is not something that appears overnight, and takes practice and commitment in order to master. Having a strong sense of self, and being honest with yourself about your abilities and your actions is the key to mastering this crucial element of the masculine frame.

A sense of purpose
Every great man has a sense of purpose in life. Exactly what this purpose is is, of course, going to vary between every individual, but the path to realizing it can be followed by anyone. In order to figure out a truly rewarding sense of purpose in life, a man needs to know his principles and learn how to listen to his gut. Your purpose in life should be something that fills you with passion and drive, and being able to identify where your passions lie means being able to take a look at yourself and listen to your instincts. Following your gut instinct about what it is you want to achieve in life unlocks the door to the kind of self-knowledge that lies at the heart of the masculine frame.
