Never relinquish your freedom or purpose for a woman. A king doesn’t abandon the castle and kingdom that he has built to marry a princess in a foreign land. She comes to inhabit his castle to be his queen. I see a lot of guys so eager to get married and start a family that they alter the direction of their life to adapt to her needs. Follow God only. Not your woman.

Making a fun session from suboptimal waves and conditions is what most of surfing is about. 🤙

Have you ever stayed in a relationship because of convenience or not wanting to hurt someone’s feelings?

Have you thought this way? “I’ve given so much value to the world, the universe should put the right woman in my life” Or “Once I achieve this financial or fitness metric, then I’ll attract the partner i want”

GM nostr 🌞 If you are lonely and unsatisfied with your social life, no one is going to come and fix it for you. The good news is that a vibrant community and quality connections are possible if you will adopt the right mindset and take the right actions to grow it around you.

GM nostr 🌞 "It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude." - RWE Do not give in to the pressure around you to conform into some kind of boxed personality or behavior framework. Let your thoughts words and actions flow from your soul's response to the present moment. Don't let the thoughts words and actions of people around you confine your identity.

GM nostr 🌞 You can just host meetups

GM nostr 🌞 Generating a community around you takes leadership and initiative. Just like with your finances and health if you are not proactive in gathering like valued people around you, it will not just happen on its own. I know quite a few successful 50+ year olds who thought that love and relationships would simply happen once they got their finance and fitness ducks in a row. Now they are struggling. Affirm to yourself: “I love that I’m at the cause and not the effect of everything that happens in my life.”

“What I must do is all that concerns me, not what the people think. This rule, equally arduous in actual and in intellectual life, may serve for the whole distinction between greatness and meanness. It is the harder because you will always find those who think they know what is your duty better than you know it. It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.” - RW Emerson

GM nostr 🌞 A strong man or a group of strong men are at the center of any thriving community. If you want to build a citadel, start by building your own mental and physical fortitude.

GM nostr 🌞 “Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will be added to you.” Matthew 6:33 By no means am I an exemplary Christian, but I find so much truth in this verse that I have to share this morning. When seeking the social and material abundance that we desire first it will always be just out of reach. The deep satisfaction that comes from connecting to God and devoting yourself to his calling on your life will ignite the gravitational force that attracts “all these things” into your life in more abundance than you could have ever imagined.

GM nostr 🌞 Your wealth, your health, your celebrity status, and your contributions to the world and humanity will not retain a woman’s attraction if you don’t solve for hypergamy in your mindset and behavior. A woman needs consistent proof that you are her best option to feel and continue feeling love for you. And that proof is not logical. For her, it is a feeling.

What if I told you, you could build a quality social life without going out to bars or using dating apps?
