Transformative Steps

In life, as we get older not everything works to perfection. We can't run as fast as we used to.  We can't jump as high as we used to.  We can't remember everything as quickly as we used to. We can't figure things out as fast as we used to.  Some things need a little assistance.  Our eyes may need glasses. Our knees or hips may need to be replaced. Our hearing may need a hearing aid. The reason for this is simple we use them and through that continuous usage and sometimes over-usage they are worn down. What can we say about where we are in life? are we worn down because of what we did or didn't do? Are we worn down because of what we heard or were told? Did we take action that was detrimental to our journey?

Men are important and special and kind and good-hearted and smart and thoughtful and resilient and brilliant and loving and so many other things.  But rarely do you hear a man being referred to as sensitive.  Men are incredibly sensitive, but that sensitivity oftentimes goes unnoticed. Most people associate sensitivity with weakness.  Sensitivity simply says that a person is in tune with the world that they are in and the people that are in their sphere.

An example is that men are responsible for providing for their families; taking care of their wife to ensure that she is safe, healthy, and happy; raising and imparting knowledge and wisdom to their children, and making sure that everything in their sphere of influence is taken care of. Men are often criticized for what they fail to do but not celebrated for their successes.  But when you ask a man how is life he tells them that everything is ok.  OK is simply a lie.  He has to say that or he may collapse under the weight of all that he is carrying.
