How Embracing Vulnerability Will Help You Create Your Extraordinary Life
Most men will find themselves at a crossroads as they enter the 2nd half of their life.
They’ve spent the 1st half being the chaser.
Chasing all the shoulds, supposed to’s, and expectations of others.
To create the extraordinary 2nd half they desire, they must evolve from The Chaser into The Creator.
A significant component of this evolution is embracing vulnerability.
The chaser will find plenty of evidence why he doesn’t need to be vulnerable and soldiers on.
He thinks to himself,
“I’ve spent most of my life bottling things up, and life’s turned out pretty good.”
“I’ve got a great job, with an esteemed title and all the stuff that job affords me.”
“I’m married, have kids, go on vacations.”
But the marriage is in limbo; he can’t remember the last time he really connected. Instead, he and his spouse are more like roommates who occasionally share an intimate moment.
The job is meaningless.
The stuff is empty.
He doesn’t fully recognize the man staring back at him in the mirror.
