All right, welcome to the man talk show.

I'm Connor Bieden.

And today we are going to be talking about men and self-forgiveness and why your inability

as a man to forgive yourself and do that work

is probably one of the main reasons why you are still sabotaging, why you are holding yourself

back in life, why your relationship might be stunted or stilted. I mean, the list just goes on

and on. So I got a great quote for you by Mark Victor Hansen.

He said, lack of forgiveness causes almost all of our self-sabotaging behavior.

Think about that.

I have found this to be true that when we as men lack in our ability to forgive ourselves,

we end up repeating that pattern.

We end up sabotaging ourselves down the road in some

capacity because we adopt the mentality that we don't think that we're worthy for those things that

we are attracting, manifesting, creating, building in our lives. And we don't think that we're

worthy because we haven't forgiven ourselves for

some past action. And this becomes really the biggest obstacle that I see a lot of men facing

in their lives. They've been unfaithful in a relationship and their partner forgives them, but they

don't know how to forgive themselves. Or what's holding the relationship back from a deep

sense of reconciliation and repair is that the man hasn't forgiven himself for his infidelities.

And I see this all the time. I'm addressing this topic because I put out on Instagram,

what questions do you want me to answer? And I had literally seven men ask me

about self-forgiveness. How do I forgive myself for infidelity? How do I forgive myself for lying?
