being vulnerable with family, especially with spouse or partner is crucial in relationship growth. we must grow our relationships with self and others in order to achieve a higher connection. being vulnerable is a great tool in accomplishing this connection. 

we all have scars from childhood. for me, it started with my mother teaching me her fears, her nightmares and her beliefs. as a child, i didn't know any better. as we grow, we start to see that the beliefs, fears and BS given are not our very own. there comes a time in a man's life where he will have to confront those fears and have clearing and open conversations with his mother, father or both. through vulnerability, we can show the scars and how deep they hurt us. 

how do we feel when we are vulnerable? when do we become venerable. is it good to show vulnerability? showing courage through showing vulnerability is a great way to exercise your connection muscles as well as showing and feeling positive growth within.

Season 2 will focus on a man's connection or lack of connection to being vulnerable. men have been "trained" to be hard asses with no emotion. how many times have you heard your father or have heard other fathers telling their sons "Boys don't cry"! which is a pile of bullshit. as children, men are taught to hold in their feelings and emotions which begins the journey of separation from others. it is very important to be vulnerable and speak your heart to your loved ones. we have one life; do you want higher level of connections, or do you want to be the only one showing up to your funeral????

this episode encompasses all of season 1. i had lots of flashbacks and emotions were running high for me as i explained anchors of a man. i have been on one heck of a journey of personal growth and development and it is always good for me to feel the emotions of how i was and who i am now. growth is what matters. decay is where we will end up at the end of our lives. why not grow above ground rather than decay as we live??

where a man is operating at a higher level of practicing all 5 anchors.

4th anchor of a man - RESPECT! what we practice is what we achieve. what we achieve is our results. all anchors that hold a man down firm must be practiced 100% at all times. ensuring we are respecting ourselves and leading ourselves so others will follow. 

Anchor#3- Responsibility. another very important anchor of a man. there are 5 anchors that hold a man steady when the storms of temptation show up in a man's life. practicing, living and believing in these anchors help to build a solid foundation to build upon. if these 5 anchors are not being practiced and one faulters below the other, the foundation becomes weak and brittle and what the man has built upon his foundation now come crumbling down. it can of course be rebuilt however, as men, we need to stand strong and always have a 360 awareness of our being. 

the 2nd Anchor in a series of 5 anchors that a man should live by in order to create their own foundation on which they can build on.
