Most men don’t lack strength. They lack range.

They know how to fight, but they don’t know how to yield.

They embody stoicism, not softness.

Our culture doesn't teach them how.

We raise boys to perform toughness and call it maturity.

But real maturity is knowing what the moment asks of you — and being able to give it.

Sometimes that means being fierce.

Sometimes it means being gentle.

And the hardest part is knowing which is which.

That’s the work.
