Valentines Day 2011


Over the next week there will be a crush of people attempting to make one day special for their lady. HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM!!!!!! 

The expression of love however is not encapsulated in one day but in every day. As gentlemen we must raise the standard.  The standard has to be raised for both us and for the women in our lives. This is a paradigm shift in how we think and how we act holds true especially this week..

Love is about Give/Give ….. not give-take. When the relationship gets to a place where one person is giving and the other is taking. The problems that result are hurt feelings and disappointment. The giver will never give enough to make the taker satisfied. There’s always going to be more that the taker wants.  Don’t feed that monster….

When you give, give with your whole heart. There will be good days and bad days in every relationship but try in earnest to make every day good and although it sounds cliché … never go to bed angry.

As we head into Valentines day. Lets take the time to be creative. For women it’s not about what you say, but what you DO!!... Love is an action it requires work.. So, go to work every day making her every day special. Her heart is in your hands so you must take care of what is most valuable.

Women and men will wrongly assume that valentines day is about sexual intimacy.. Hordes of men will rush to Costco to buy flowers or CVS to buy whitmans chocolates in a vain attempt to “get some”… this is not love… this is narcissism... its selfish and not a selfless love and thus most of those same men will go to bed upset that they didn’t succeed..

My encouragement Gentlemen is to be creative.. make such an impact in her life with what you DO that she’ll remember it 100yrs from now.. Being creative doesn’t take a lot of money… it takes time to think about her!!!! Do it "just because"... no agenda... 

Life is not about how many breaths you take… but how many times your breath is taken away…. Gentlemen.. Spend the entire week (and the entire year) taking her breath away…
