Mom was Right

Maybe it's about UNlayering, and "not trying to make fetch happen" 😀

I saw this tweet this morning from author Matt Haig that I wanted to share.

He says “Male suicide is the biggest killer of men under 50. It is preventable. Let’s not man up. Let’s not tough it out. Let’s find true strength instead. Let’s show our vulnerability. Let’s stop faking macho bullsh&t. Let’s change.”

OK, it's a tad too touchy feely even for the Changa, but I'm staying with it.

I think one of the biggest challenges that men face today is the ability to stay true to themselves, and not act in the way that others expect them to.

Taking all your cues from other people and society makes you a sheep and sets you up for inauthentic, suboptimal relationships, decisions, life. Instead of living a genuine life, you end up doing what society demands, unquestionably. And that can literally kill you.

Everything I've observed the last 4 years confirms it X 1000.

At the end of the day, mom had the best advice:

“Just be yourself”

But that’s easier said than done, isn’t it?

The truth is that it takes enormous courage to actually be yourself in every moment.

Ok, back to being awesome

Made me laugh.. Say no to the evil SPORK
