Notes

Stop waiting. Feel everything. Love achingly. Give impeccably. Let go.

In intimacy, someone has to be masculine and the other feminine

Don’t believe in the myth of ‘one day everything will be different’. Do what you love to do, now

Spend at least an hour a day giving to your fullest gift

Never try and fix a women. Love her the way she is

A fearful man who leans into his fear, living at his edge and putting his gift out there is more trustworthy and inspirational than a fearful man who hangs back in his comfort zone, unwilling to experience his fear on a day to day level

Your mission is you priority

Learn just beyond your edge, just beyond your fears

Good friends do not tolerate mediocrity in one another

Success is never as fulfilling as you think it’s going go be 

Don’t get too caught up in the tasks of daily life, remember your deeper purpose

A strong women will always test you, no matter how high or low you are

Always listen to what a women says, not literally but emotionally

Praise her freely

Don’t analyze her. Embrace her and listen, try and change the mood

Feminine women want you to make decisions, so make them

• Give her your perspective by explaining your choices but tell her you love her no matter what

Choose a woman who is complementary opposite (feminine/neutral)

Choose a woman who chooses you. Figure out if she’s p;laying hard to get or doesn’t want to be with you and if she doesn’t, stop pursuing

What she wants is not what she says. Follow your heart and truth

When your women complains, she’s never complaining about the present moment but rather a deeper issue

Never make a women the point of your life, remember your true priority. A woman will love you more for it

A man’s past behaviour is irrelevant to his woman’s feeling in the moment. Restore love and happiness in the present moment (make her laugh)

The capacity to transcend fear of death for the sake of love is what women want to see (she wants to see the killer in you)

You must instill consequences in your life for freezing in the face of fear unless you want to cling to the safety net of superficial pleasures
