With a mix of wisdom and vulnerability, he encourages fellow masons to seek help within their brotherhood, reminding us that self-love and community support can reshape our journey to personal success and fulfillment.\nKey Points\n• Society tells men to \"tough it up\".\n• Fear of asking for help can isolate.\n• Vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness.\n• Self-care equals asking for help.\n• Help others as an act of self-love.\nBest Quotes\n00:03 - 00:14 • \"I'm convinced there's a lot of guys out there that don't love themselves, that are not applying that, that trial to their own behavior and or to themselves as people.\"\n00:29 - 00:37 • \"The challenge that comes with that is that when you're genuinely stuck and don't know what to do next, you're now afraid to ask for help.\"\n00:50 - 00:53 • \"that you can't be a man, that you can't do the things you need to do.\"\n01:27 - 01:35 • \"But understand that caring for yourself means understanding that there's very likely somebody else out there who solved the problem in a much easier way.\"\n02:05 - 02:11 • \"Do it as an act of self preservation. If you need, do it as an act of self-love.\"\n02:40 - 02:43 • \"I always think, man, that wasn't so bad. I wish I did that years ago.\"","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/0MKwUQPZVqeGzTPM49TdYKYlcgFFnLZO53ZhnhtIa_8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzQ2MzU0LzE2OTgy/ODQ1MjItYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
