"Vulnerability is our most accurate measurement of courage." ~ Brene Brown
While
vulnerability requires great courage, I often caution men about the "misuse" of their emotional expressions.
How can we "misuse" vulnerability?
In the context of a struggling marriage or emotional conflict, we can pressure, coerce or manipulate others with our pain.
We may justify our constant sharing of feelings and demand for attention as simple "communication".
How could she not want to
"communicate"?
This is where our coaching gets very direct.
Sharing your unbridled emotions, fears and feelings with your wife is typically ineffective and unwanted.
It can cause more distance, discord and disrespect.
This is why we emphasize the need to be vulnerable with someone who can handle it.
And that someone is another man who totally gets you.
Most men tell me they have few men in their life they can trust.
I think this is the biggest reason I created the Goodguys2Greatmen community. There is no other place I know of with so many strong, wise, compassionate and helpful men.
If you're a man who is ready to get vulnerable with men you can trust, here are some great options for you.
No strings.
No games.
As Teddy Roosevelt said:
“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.”
I simply LOVE doing this work with men because it lights up my life to watch you charge back into your life with a grin on your face and swagger in your step.
Lotta love brother,
