Steps:
   

When have you felt foolish, embarrassed, or humiliated? Recall the circumstances of those situations. What if these things had happened to someone you love instead of yourself? Would they seem as emotionally loaded and devastating as they were when they happened to you?

"Men in Relationship: The Superhero - Heart Freedom"
Part 6 of 8

 

    Many men are reluctant to embrace relationships but relationships are the marquee event in the Olympics of Life. Winning the gold medal in relationships is as good as it gets in this world. Ask yourself: Is a great relationship so rare because it is not worthy of my attention, or does my attention wander away from a relationship because of fear? Am I afraid of a relationship or do I simply not know how to be in one? Fear and ignorance are two reasons why men resist intimacy and commitment so strongly.

    To help men whole-heartedly embrace relationships, it is time to join three archetypes that have traditionally been separate: the hero, the warrior, and the lover.  As Joseph Campbell said, “What’s made up in the head is the fiction. What comes out of [the heart] is a myth. These are totally different things altogether.”i What’s made up in the head is the Hollywood hero—a heroic warrior-savior/destroyer. What can come out of the heart is a heroic warrior-lover.
