Heroism
A man can’t be anyone’s hero until he becomes his own hero first.
To become his own hero a man must be willing to plumb the depths and explore the aspects of his life that are most dear to him, his relationships with his wife, friends, children, and even coworkers.
When he’s accomplished this task, he is his own hero, and everyone else’s too.

Men need to learn to be emotionally honest in relationships. When a man musters the courage to share his deepest truth, he creates a platform for his inner hero to develop.

Building character
To reveal your hero status, ask yourself:
- Do I honor and respect my men friends, and keep their confidences?
- Do I live in a manner that reflects my highest ideals?
- Do I have the courage to be emotionally honest with women?
- Do I love my children unconditionally and selflessly?
- Do I respect and support my children’s choices?
- Do I treat my employees or coworkers with a level of respect I want?
- Do I volunteer in my community or reach out to help others?
- Do I live in integrity with myself?
