The Masks That Men Wear | Mike Tyson

These masks that men wear, they serve a purpose because it helps us get a result in our life. I wore the athlete mask, which was, I will do whatever it takes to win at all costs. I will freaking destroy people on the field. I will train my butt off. I'll hurt myself. I won't sleep. I'll freaking do whatever to get bigger, faster, stronger at all costs so that I can achieve my goal. And here's the crazy thing, these masks work because you were in the NFL, you became the ultimate bully and were the greatest fighter of all time. But here's what doesn't work. We are left with this sense of like this prison inside, right? We might achieve success on the outside, but then we are prisoners and we are unfulfilled on the inside and we don't know what inner peace is. So the masks hold us back from inner peace. And we take that out on our loved ones, the people close to us. Everyone. Our family, our children. Everyone. Everyone suffers around us when we wear masks. Absolutely.
