Suffering without attaching meaning to it becomes traumatic.

That's the definition of trauma.

Suffering with meaning becomes an initiation, so to speak, a right of passage, something

that's going to harden you, tough in you, make you more resilient, make you more gritty,

Stop crying. That's not what I'm saying at all.

I believe that most men don't struggle because they suffer. They struggle because they don't

through meaningful, significant, a catalyst for growth and change in your life and improvement

and development. And that's what we're all about here. So when I say suffer like a man, I'm going to give you some context today and share five ways

that you can turn your suffering into success, where you can turn suffering into victory and

growth and achievement in your life because that's what we all want. And I believe that a lot of

guys out there would say, well, you know, I just don't want to suffer.

And I get that.

I don't either.

But on the other side of suffering is your growth.

And you can't have that growth without some of the suffering.

And whether that's a breakup or a divorce, a loss of a job, a loss of a loved one,
