I’m Flippin DONE!
Seriously, Why do we Focus on such crap?!
Well, the Mask is off and I am completely vulnerable now.
Don’t get me wrong, being a man has its privileges but I don’t
have to live by the expectation of what it means to be a man.
My whole life I was “expected” to be physically tough,
mentally tough, be into cars and fixing stuff.
The truth is….
I was NEVER that guy!
I decided to take the Mask off well into my adult years and wished that I did it sooner.
No longer embracing the “expectation of society” on what a man is expected to be.
I was raised in a basement with my three siblings and my sweet, beautiful, tough, single mother. She was the example for me of what it meant to be a real man.
She taught me compassion for others, respect, love, affection and giving your best for the good of the team/family/business.
The fact is, I SUCK at fixing cars, doing things around the house, using power tools, working with my hands, and all the other stereotypes of manhood that Society throws at us.
My point is that being a man means so much more than the Mask of Masculinity.
Today, my wife and I have Five Children - 4 beautiful daughters and an 1 amazing son.
I still open doors for my girls and tell them that it’s polite for “People” to do that for one another…. NOT just men.
My son was a top decorated athlete in high school but also a gifted singer and actor. He pursued the performing arts instead of being the student-athlete.
Finally, I am GRATEFUL that this CONFLICT happened within me and I eventually EMBRACED the man I was and still am becoming… (Always room for growth here).
I am grateful for my Faith, Family, Friends, Connections and Business Opportunities.
Today I still Teach, Learn, Grow and Enjoy being a Founder of a Startup Company….
And Life as a man.
I want to give a BIG “Thank You” to Lewis Howes and for his book The Mask of Masculinity!
I have not read his book yet but listened to a POWERFUL podcast episode with John Lee Dumas (Entrepreneur on Fire) where Lewis Howes laid out the riveting reasons why we as men often where a Mask of Masculinity.
I highly suggest listening to it and again a Big Thank You to @Lewis Howes for his Inspiring thoughts and Words behind The Mask of Masculinity.
