I woke up one morning and decided to build a life instead of making a living.

Fatherhood

 

On being a husband, father, and man in our society.

I often ponder on what it means to be a husband, father, and a man in our society. These important roles help define the world we live in, what kind of relationships we cultivate with our loved ones, and what kind of world we leave behind for our children. Filling just one of those roles to the best of our ability is a tall order for any man, imagine doing all three? I know that I'm not alone when I say that men feel unclear on how to fill those roles today.

Society is perhaps the biggest driver of changes to our cultural values and roles, and men have a tendency not to adapt as quickly.  Therefore some men, not all though, have a tendency to shirk their roles. What does being a husband, father, and man in society mean to you and how do you fill those roles?
