Are you living in a prison of shoulds?
Posted on07. Jun, 2010 by Jeffrey Platts.
Are you God? A fortune teller? Can you predict the future? Personally, I can’t predict the future. But my mind thinks it can.

Guys, let go of the b.s. notion that you need to act tough and stoic all the time around your woman. Yes, overall, it’s good to be a strong, grounded man of purpose. But also factor into the mix that you need to be authentic and present in each moment. You had a bad day at work and your [...]

What’s your dating story? “Men are pigs.” “All women are crazy.” “Guys don’t want to date older women like me.” “That girl is out of my league.” The thoughts we think will create the lens through which we view the world. If I see the world as a happy and hopeful place, then I will [...]
