Qualities like being strong, brave, ambitious, a good provider, protector, and leader are all positive traits of solid men which typically are associated with healthy masculinity. However, in an effort to combat intimate partner violence (IPV), masculinity has been given a bad name.  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that one in three women in their lifetime will be a victim of IPV. This data has prompted feminist groups to unfortunately paint masculinity as an identifiable trait of an abuser which is not true for all men who present as masculine.

Emotions are great servants but poor masters, and that’s why it takes work to learn how to rewire your thoughts and beliefs. Your life experiences and family of origins passed down to you from caretakers are the foundational blocks that define the root causes for most of your actions.  After you learn how to control your beliefs, thoughts, and emotions, you will then be able to “expect the expected” positive outcomes you will manifest into your life and work teams.
