Something to ponder for you, Sarge.

BEHAVIOR and RESULTS are a DIRECT REFLECTION of what you ARE BEING!

Which means, if you have inner peace but no friends, no job, no women, you're NOT an alpha.

An alpha is an alpha, and a beta is a beta, and a hater is a hater.

The King who must scream to get his will taken seriously, or the man who can simply look at another and achieve the same result.

In a world where an alpha is an alpha, and a beta is a beta, there are only two colors in the rainbow.

Ok but:

If you have inner peace, but no job, no woman and no friends... but you have that situation because it is what you consciously chose for yourself, and you are happy with it - it is very possible that you are indeed alpha.

This is the key here. In my case, it was not chosen (I tricked myself to believe it was, till I finally DID believe it was for many years) but it was just a coping mechanism.

An alpha is a LEADER, first and foremost. And a true alpha is a leader of SELF first and foremost. Doing what is desired internally regardless of what anyone or anything external says or does. This is, in fact, the real path to self mastery and inner peace.

A leader of self ONLY, however, is not alpha. I disagree with you because of that.

Alpha is a social entity, not an individual. In a tribe of monkeys, if an alpha dies, another takes his place and leads the tribe, f*cks the females, and etc. This is the nature of the tribe. It does not matter the individual, the nature is that there is an alpha, and always will be.

I'm sure all the beta monkeys are alphas in their heads, but they are not the alpha [role] until such instances happen.

So yes, one can be "zen" and "alpha" at the same time. In the end, they are one and the same, because by being alpha, truly and genuinely alpha, one naturally finds inner peace.

Chicken or the egg here. One can find peace with drugs as well.
