EMOTIONS ARE GREAT SERVANTS, BUT POOR MASTERS.

Defining Masculinity and Its Power

So many men are hurting, and then hurting others.

People donโ€™t want to hear that.

But men feel like theyโ€™re emotional prisoners.

They are committing suicide at much higher rates. They are the ones performing mass shootings. They are reacting in violence.

We have to allow men ways to process their past and to express their emotions in order to become the people they are meant to be.

Itโ€™s not important to โ€œbe a man,โ€ itโ€™s important to be human.

On todayโ€™s episode of The School of Greatness, I talk about the definition of masculinity with a man whose mission is to mentor boys: Jason Wilson.
