Accountability

As men, we need support! It may be a familiar face, a group of friends, or a happy place where we can share our life’s experiences. We want to be the warriors for our family, picking up our sword, taking on the enemy, and conquering every battle! However, we do not always need our sword to take out everything that comes our way! It sounds great and wonderful, but if you are a warrior and you get injured and do not have an army behind you, you are done!

There may be small situations in your life where the warrior mentality works, like conquering the garage door opener or fixing the car. But when it comes to real life situations like relationships, finances, and problems that are way bigger than you, it is time to bring in your best team. These are going to be people that you have assembled over time. People that have a mutual interest in who you are as a person and what you have been through. These are also people that love and care about what you are currently going through. Having this team is so important. It is so easy to take everything personally and think it is your fault and blame yourself for things that are going on in your life. However, having this team or support group can help you through the crazy highs and lows you are going to go through. Your support group should always start at home with your spouse, but having support from outside of your home will also be beneficial.
