Men need vision. A lack of vision, or a self-centered vision, is a major contributor to issues like toxic masculinity. A healthy vision provides direction, purpose, and boundaries, all of which are essential for a meaningful, others-focused life. It is important that men craft visions that benefit others, align with their values, and positively impact the world around them.
