They feel way more grounded.

And this is why they feel more authentic.

And this is huge.

If you're not being authentic to yourself, you're not going to be a happy person.

You're just not.

Because emotional honesty builds self-trust.

It builds self-respect.

It's huge.

And self-trust is one of the deepest foundations of lasting happiness.

Because when you trust yourself to handle your feelings, to handle your emotions, you stop fearing them.

You stop running from life.

You stop running from everything that's scaring you and you start actually living life to the fullest.

So the action step for you right now is once a day, once a day, morning or night, take a few minutes to ask yourself three honest questions.

This might be one of the most powerful things you do because you'll actually be speaking something out loud, naming it or writing it down.

Number one, what am I feeling right now?

And listen, you know, I come from the world of being a guy growing up, you know, playing sports where we didn't talk about feelings.

We didn't talk about these things.

It wasn't manly.

It was just kind of like, don't be a wuss.

Don't be lame.
