Today’s society seems to have a fascination with buzzwords.
Buzzwords all have meaning behind them, but often do not communicate a clear message. For example, “basic,” "woke,” and “adulting.” We know them but what are they implying?
For the past several months, there seems to be a trend of a new word. It is on posters, YouTube channels, and T-shirts at the gym. Often times it flows in conversation with my peer group.
“Alpha”
Apparently, the word means that the person in question is the most dominant - the best.
Zoological studies often refer to the dominant male in a group of animals as the Alpha. The approach to their position is aggression.
That’s all fine and dandy for a pride of lions. But…what about humans?
The stereotype of an Alpha in human form is often the buff guy who’s super intense, aggressive and presents himself as such. He’s the guy who gets all the ladies, because he is confident, with that bad-boy edge all the women swoon over. He is the epitome of testosterone. Much like the Alpha in our pride of lions.
Here’s where so many “Alphas” fail…A true Alpha doesn’t try to be an Alpha.
They are interested in life, in living. Fascinated by the world around them. Becoming the best version of themselves they can possibly become. They genuinely care about people. They passionately work hard. Life excites them and the opportunity each new day presents. They are honest in every facet of who they are. They are bred from curiosity, a genuine kindness, and a warrior’s heart, they are who they are, and others follow them because the Alpha serves.
It is time for Alphas to be Alphas.
Don’t just be a lion, be an Alpha.
Are you committed to be the best version of yourself? Are you ready to lead by loving life and loving others? Are you ready to be an Alpha?
Will you join this endeavor? Will you join the fraternity?
If so, welcome to Alpha Alpha Alpha.
