Overcoming Silent Man Syndrome

Last week we talked about the problems with the silent man syndrome. Many men are paralyzed into silence in their lives. It hurts their relationships, their own success, and society as a whole. We want to not just see our problems of silence but we want to overcome them. This week we are talking about what it takes to overcome the silent man syndrome. There are some realities that we have to change if we are going to be the men we were designed to be. Here are the keys we cover in the episode.

Play The Long Game

• This is important for us to understand because changing it won't be short or easy
• The long game is us starting to make small incremental changes that build over time
• Discouragement is what takes men out
• Our goal is total victory over the problem and not just a quick short-lived win

Travel The Inward Journey

• The inward journey for men is them going into the land of their thoughts and feelings
• Men are incredibly passionate and feel deeply
• We have to dig down to the Foundations of insecurity and shame that keep us silent
• We also have to start Dealing with Hurts and Hangups
• The key for us to deal with them is to Don't Go Alone

Decide Our Why

• Priorities don't happen by accident
• Priorities flow from your WHY
• Our Why guides us through the many choices we have to make every day
• Our why keeps us moving in hard times when the unexpected happens
