Lift Heavy Run Long Podcast - Inspire. Be Inspired.

Beefcake #10 At The Risk of Sounding Cheezy... What is this word, "cheezy"? What does it actually mean? Why must it be inserted to detract from so many meaningful and positive statements of love and compassion? "Not to sound cheezy"..."I don't mean to sound like I care"...."I'm not wanting you think I'm weak".... "I don't want you to get the impression that I give a f**k". It is my belief that the fear of "sounding cheezy" is the number one cause of compliments not given, relationships not being nurtured, and affection not being shown. Von and I talk about this briefly in the Beefcake Podcast #9, and we will be talking about it more in Episode #10. I am as guilty as anyone. Often, as I am paying a compliment or preparing to say something nice, I lead into it with something like, "Not to sound cheezy, but....". This is my insecurity shining through. This is my self-doubt  being thrown right in your direction. This is my being afraid that you are going to think that I am weak, or not tough, or not a man.
