Here is a scripture showing how much God loves our honesty and how much he loves and values us, even our tears don’t go un-noticed!

Psalm 56:8:
You keep track of all my sorrows.
You have collected all my tears in your bottle.
You have recorded each one in your book.

your post is powerful. I’m really grateful that as a man you are caring about expressing your tears as they come and also that you don’t judge the tears of others human being. It’s part of a feminine process to rely on healthy human relationships where vulnerability is safe. I totally understand that many men don’t rely on vulnerability yet because of the past schemes of man acting on finding food for the family, being a good competitor and going to war to protect the tribe. I really care about balancing the feminine and the masculine energy in every human being (man or woman). I find it helpful that you are reflecting on such a theme as a man, so that you are more efficient toward the men who are reading you, in order to teach them how to balance the feminine and the masculine energy. It is as powerful as when I read from a powerful woman who empowers me, as a woman, to be the most authentic self that I can be and to ACT on my truth.
I had no idea that a man could relate to the SARK books or conference. I wish it would not be so wide away and I could have been there seeing SARK. I really like her.

I think that for a long time, men have really developed their acting muscle and woman have really developed their feeling abilities. A human being needs both and we have to challenge ourselves a little in order to grow the opposite quality.

I read your book about gratitude. I’m glad you had it translated in french (my mother tongue). I also read about how you developed a high “acting” muscle through team sport (baseball maybe ? I don’t quite understand baseball, it is not well-spread in France so I don’t know the rules and english words for that). Now you seem to be developing your feelings and you also develop the ability to combine both the feeling side and the acting side while you are growing as a speaker and writer.
You seem to be already quite efficient as a speaker in the US. I watch how you are developing from the other side of the ocean and it is really interesting.
It is quite uncommon in France to publish powerful simple books like yours, they all come from the US or Canada for now. The french market is really more convinced by scientists and only a few physician/doctors/psychologist take the time to write simple powerful books for the average people that want to grow. Please go on on your path and here is to your success.

I think that it is one of the most beautiful & wonderous expressions of our humanness - “to be moved to tears.”

Be well!
