We coach men to be confident in creating the kind of life and relationship experiences that they really want.
I love that quote because it speaks to something inherent in being a confident man.
Only someone who is confident he will experience more of the beauty in front of him can stop trying to capture it in words or in pictures.
And then he gets to REALLY experience it.
The truth is that there is awe in every moment.
There is something to be experienced in every moment.
And when you decide to do this work - the work of becoming an unshakeably confident man - you get to choose how you experience each moment.
It's an incredibly liberating and powerful feeling.
To no longer be worrying about controlling what might go wrong.
To no longer be comparing to what used to be.
To take back control of your future and clearly, calmly know that you're on a path to creating what you want. Step by deliberate step.
Can you enjoy just a moment exactly how it is?
Or must you instantly spoil it by wanting more of it or needing it to be different?
Do you spend your time wanting something to be a certain way for you to be able to enjoy it, or can you find enjoyment in what is in front of you right now?
This is the path to a successful, connected, passionate marriage.
It's the path to a connected, passionate, successful life too.
To not know.
To not need to know.
To trust in who you know you are enough to just be yourself and know that by choosing to live to your standards and values every moment of every day, you will have a life that meets those standards.
We've all had some experiences in our life called "peak experiences" - maybe when meeting someone for the first time and having that rush of connection and attraction, or an intense sexual experience where you both seem to be so connected and in sync that you make each other orgasm more times than ever before and everything
feels so natural.
The problems start when we try to hold onto those experiences.
When we try to make it happen again and again.
Suddenly it's lost all it's magic.
Now it's become something that traps you and stops you from experiencing more of that same kind of enjoyment.
Joy: (noun) a feeling of great pleasure and happiness.
When we try to hold onto or re-create one of those joyful moments, it's like we're actually holding onto the fear that it might never happen again.
And that makes the chance of creating another similar moment so much less likely.
