The Golden Opportunity of Major Life Transitions for Men

The Golden Opportunity of Major Life Transitions for Men

All men experience major life transitions.

There’s no way to get out of life without experiencing death, disability, or loss of someone we love. Life is a never-ending stream of these transitions and challenges.

It’s natural for humans to experience stress whenever we encounter change—but we make these major changes even more difficult if we feel that our survival is at stake. We see a profound amount of depression and suicidal ideation that men endure alone.

It’s precisely at these times of crisis and overwhelm that the potential for breakthrough and freedom becomes possible—but how?

Who’s Got Your Back?

Who’s Got Your Back?

There’s a pervasive problem we’re facing in the world right now.

As men, we often feel like we have to do it all ourselves, and alone. The whole world sits on our shoulders.

We think we need to push through life with egoic determination, gritting our teeth and pushing through all the obstacles and challenges that arise.

In doing this we are creating more tension and pain in our bodies. We often bear the resulting physical and emotional scars with pride, as a sign of masculine accomplishment.

Unfortunately, this way of approaching matters is unsustainable. You might be able to maverick through when you’re a bit younger and in peak condition, but eventually, it’s no longer possible and it all comes crashing down.
