What a Golden Retriever Can Teach You About Taking Your Balls Back

Published: Sun, 11/13/16

Hey,

I want to talk with you about living in the kind of life and relationship you really, really want.

That last sentence has a key word in it.

It’s the word “living”.

Note, I didn’t say “getting” the life you want or “having” the life you want.

Those two words imply there is somewhere you must GO to achieve the life you want.

But, what if living that life is a place you come FROM, not a place to get TO?

What if you just f*cking DECIDED to start living the life you want right this moment?

What kind of man would you have to BE in order to make that choice?

I know…those last 3 questions are complex and may feel unclear to you.

I’ve had trouble being challenged with the same questions.

It’s because I’ve always thought that a passionate, fun, connected, meaningful, engaged, affectionate and sexual life was something that would happen to me.

It was something outside of me where I would have to go "find" it or it would eventually appear for me.

I’m finding out that is total horse crap. And I know horse crap when I see it.

I’ve learned that we’ve have been slowly conditioned to be AFRAID OF BEING passionate, fun, connected, meaningful, engaged, affectionate and sexual men!

But that's the only power we’ve ever had since we were born. We were BORN with those things!

Nobody has ever taken them away from us. But we have somehow given away our power to own who we are. We are now gripped with fear to BE who we are and live how we want to live.

We seek permission – acceptance – reciprocation – validation. We wait for others to give us what we want instead of just LIVING LIKE WE WANT.

In other words, we are NOTHING like a Golden Retriever!

These dogs don’t give a shit. They laugh, love, lick and play any damn time they want to – and they NEVER apologize for being a Golden Retriever.

A Golden Retriever does not wait for permission to live an engaged, playful, affectionate life.

He doesn't hope for happy and fulfilling relationships - he wakes up every day expecting he will have them. He DEMANDS it!

And he is irresistible.

There’s a lesson there for you and I. It hit me today while I was walking outside. It’s the perfect analogy to explain what’s possible for you. So I made this video just for you to explain it further.

I have a 7-Day Challenge for you too at the end – if you choose to accept the mission!

I also wrote a new article on this topic titled:

Three Clear Clues Your Marriage Isn’t Worth Saving

You’ll see why it applies directly to the topic of living the life you want.

And last, I promised I would give you the compiled feedback from the Drainers and Energizers exercise. Thanks for playing! See the big list below. You may need to zoom in to read it.

I got a ton of responses about the things that drain your soul of energy and keep you from going after those things that inspire and energize you.

Once you read this list, try to pick just ONE THING from column A that you can stop immediately.

Then pick ONE THING from column B you want MORE OF in your life.

Then send me an email to tell me about it. Tell me what you dropped and what you’re picking up.

Then tell me how it feels to grab life by the balls - like a Golden Retriever - making no apologies.

See? You really do have the ability to change your own circumstances anytime you want!

Lotta love,

Steve
