Many men explain their lives in detail: they tell us what they are planning, why something is not working at the moment and why later will be the right time. On the outside, this seems reflective, but on the inside, a lot of things stand still.
In the new episode of Men in Crisis, I talk about why words are often used to avoid action. Why men tell themselves stories to avoid having to face unpleasant truths. And why responsibility begins where excuses end.
It’s about being radically honest with yourself: recognizing where you are sugarcoating things, where you are making compromises that are actually self-deception, and why exactly this creates pressure, frustration and inner emptiness in the long term. Not because something “went wrong”, but because you know that you weren’t consistent.
Those who begin to measure themselves by deeds instead of intentions experience something decisive: Clarity. Peace of mind. Self-respect. Not because everything goes perfectly, but because action creates trust, first and foremost in oneself.
Listen to the new episode: Why men protect themselves with words, what radical honesty really means and how consistent action creates inner stability.
