Hey,
This email is not going to be full of sappy year-end platitudes and "happy holiday" wishes.
I'm confident you're getting those from a hundred other sources.
Let me give you something else that could be immensely more useful to you as you stare yet another new year in the face.
Someone recently told me they seek me out for my "aged wisdom".
They hoped I could give them some guidance to help them avoid some of the potholes of life in which I've already stepped.
I've decided to not take the word "aged" personally and I will give you my best single piece of wisdom.
Like most other wisdom, this is not original. It's repackaged and regurgitated in my own special way.
Maybe my way of saying it will resonate with you.
This could possibly make 2020 your best year ever.
My best year ever was 2012. That was until 2013 came along...and so on and so on after that.
Here is what I've learned and what you should know.
Don't settle for anything less than the "magic" in life.
What the hell does that mean?
*****
If you're on this email list you're probably not too motivated by "get rich quick" schemes or accumulating more "things" to make you happy.
You're here because you are already a deep thinking, intensely feeling, emotionally intelligent and compassionate man.
You might cry in a split second watching a powerful movie scene.
You see magic and wonder in laughing kids and puppies.
And while you bury yourself in the work of keeping busy to pay the bills and feed your lifestyle...you quietly yearn for more "magic".
- Guys like us secretly crave the magic of a personal and spiritual connection with others...especially our romantic partners.
- Guys like us hide behind our outward displays of strength, intelligence and competence when we're really hungry for the intensity of emotional vulnerability.
- Guys like us quietly keep marching to society's prescription for a good life while we resent ourselves for not taking more bold, passionate risks to create more meaning in our life.
THAT is the kind of "magic" most of us want more of.
