| 0:00.0 | Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show. |
| 0:05.0 | As a society, when men are unable to express or communicate themselves, or they're going to be known as weak or soft or whatever the word is, it's hard for them to express themselves in any other way except for this blow-up. Yeah, especially when you say this, like, stop acting like a girl, you're running like a girl, you're acting like a girl. Don't be a wuss, don't be, it's like less than their manhood or something. Yeah, of course. There's no wonder why, if it's not acceptable for men to express themselves in this way, |
| 0:40.3 | it's hard for them to just be stoic constantly. |
| 0:43.3 | I'm not saying it's okay what they've done to act out, |
| 0:46.3 | but I think society in general needs to have a big group hug |
| 0:51.3 | and let it out in the way where it's more acceptable to express ourselves. And also, whenever anyone does anything wrong, we go, what's wrong with you? We should say, what happened to you? What happened to you? And they go, well, you know, my mom always said she didn't want a girl, boy, she wanted a girl, and I've been brought up. Give an example, I had a city trader as a client who really had problems |
| 1:12.0 | trading and his boss said, you know, he's the best trader, but he's so nervous. And when I worked |
| 1:17.2 | with him, he was saying that when he was a kid, his parents had two girls and then him. And he would |
| 1:21.3 | smash his tongue good toys again. They'd go, what's wrong with you? Look at your sisters, |
| 1:25.5 | just combing their doll's hair and they're so good and why |
| 1:29.6 | you so aggressive and a four-year-old can't go well because I have something called testosterone |
| 1:33.6 | and they don't and I'm designed to run and jump and hunt and fish and I've got to learn what to |
| 1:40.6 | do with aggression smashing my cars together is good for me. He didn't, four-year-old doesn't have anything because they live in the world of, yeah, they just live in the world of feeling, not logic. And he said, I never realized, just spent my whole life thinking something's wrong with me, because my parents would say everything comes with you. What's wrong with you? Look how neat you. They don't get peas on the floor and they eat and he said I heard it every day |
| 2:03.1 | until I formed to believe something's wrong with me he didn't date women because he thought well I should be like one |
| 2:09.8 | but I want to be like a man and that session totally turned him around he said it was like he someone had sprayed him with pheromones |
| 2:17.2 | because he |
| 2:17.5 | went out that night when we were attaching themselves like a magnet. But he just got rid of the |
| 2:22.2 | feeling of something's wrong with me. Because most people do walk around and something's wrong |
| 2:27.3 | with me. I'm just majorly messed up and you can't heal. And no one understands me. No one gets me. |
| 2:33.1 | Yeah. And I don't understand me. |
| 2:35.0 | And if I don't understand me, how can you? |
| 2:37.0 | And why should I even be here? |
