Are You An ALPHA OR A True ALPHA?

 

WHO DOESN'T want to be an ALPHA?  Of course, everyone wants and even dreams to become one.  And I'm sure, if we do a random check out in the streets, a good majority will claim [and conclude] that they are a true-blue ALPHA.  Seriously, there's just a very loose definition of WHAT an ALPHA is, such that, many have mistakenly believed that they are a true-blue ALPHA in everyday life📘📙📗

To quote one stereotype definition of a True ALPHA, they are defined as in possession of themselves and they ensure that their own passions DON'T end up running their lives.  In one of my previous business trips, after one long day of back-to-back huddles and meetings, my hosts brought me to their favorite winery and out of nowhere, a stranger joined us, engaging in our conversation like any normal human being would💜💛💚

Before I knew it, he began to dominate our group tete-a-tete and later on, this gentleman managed to turn around our conversations all about himself, whew!  As I have a good handle to find a true-blue ALPHA, I knew it, this guy was an ALPHA male in the flesh.  The original ALPHA Male theory goes something like this:  Human society is structured like a wolf pack and at the top of the pack is the dominant ALPHA male.  Think of that leader WHO shoots out orders and NEVER takes NO for an answer.  YES, from time to time, we do all run into these True ALPHAs even in our everyday lives.  If it's NOT at the corporate boardrooms, we can stumble across them WHILE you're queueing either at the bank OR even at the train station❌❌❌

BUT NOT to tear apart all the positivities of a True ALPHA, WHILE the True ALPHA  has the unsullied reputation of being a strong leader WHO seems to have all the right answers [besides ticking all the boxes], at times, I did observe that even a True ALPHA can be quite loud and for lack of a better adjective, obnoxious at times.  That's WHEN he gets his way through sheer brute force of his own will😡😡😡

Our takeaway:  My own take here is that, regardless WHETHER we claim to be a True ALPHA OR NOT, all of us need to prove that we excel on many things and would stand out even if you're in the middle of a mamooth crowd.  As things have evolved, ALPHA Theory 2.0 is interesting because a key attribute of a True ALPHA is one WHO remains moderate in their consumption of both food and alcohol.  Taking a step farther, they will get enough sleep and sufficient exercise.  And to quote studies, beyond the physical realm, the True ALPHAs will lead a well-ordered spiritual life.  Whether this remains ideal as such, it all boils down for us to buckle down and be sincerely honest enough on the path you want to take to be a True ALPHA😁😁😁
