The lie that men aren't emotional

The Appeal of Stoicism

• Stoicism - Indifference to pleasure or pain
• There is a danger in looking at emotion as a bad thing
• We are emotional creatures
• We have emotions and we are better when we use them
• Stoicism gives the illusion of complete control
• Without our emotions, we are missing out on a big part of our design as men

The Missing Power

• Men were designed to have emotions
• Emotions were designed to power us as men
• A passionate man is driven
• Passion is more inward than outward
• You don't have to act emotional to be full of passion
• Passionate men make a difference in whatever they do

Tapping the Power

• Fighting passiveness
• Passiveness is an epidemic among men today
• The passiveness of Peace at all costs
• We must fight the areas of our life where we go passive
• We can't talk about our emotions without talking about the fake emotions that have so trapped so many men
• Your Power comes from your authentic self
