Is The Big Apple Taking a BITE out of Your Love Life, Chewing it up and Spitting YOU Out?
Why is it, that, in such an enormous city where culture and expression thrive, love and quality men are hard to find? At least that’s what hundreds of gay men who live there are telling me. Did I miss the memo or did a UFO suddenly beam up all of the quality men for some “probing” research?
Have they become an extinct species?
Well, I am here to tell you, the only thing that’s become extinct is your intuition and your innate ability to seek joy, both essential for dating and relating success. Somehow through your rugged journey of bad dates and relationships; you’ve lost the ability to listen to your gut and paying more attention to your thoughts.
It seems that it shouldn’t be so difficult; difficult meeting GREAT guys and falling in love. It can be easier, but it does take something.
What it takes.
“Being in Love is the most mature and realistic thing you can do. Being in love energizes your life, fills you with positivity, creates generosity and makes every moment beautiful!” -Zen and the Art of Falling in Love
Find the greatness in YOU first.
I’ve been in the performing arts world for several years and I’ve witnessed what actors and musicians go through to get that break they’ve been working so hard for and I am here to share a little niblet of wisdom with you. It has NOTHING to do with luck. These artists who spend countless hours, days and years at honing their craft, working on inner conflicts and getting in front of the right people, are the ones who eventually claim great success.
Not only that, but showing up for an audition or interview is only half the climb. They need to be as present as possible; leaving all of their baggage at the door and making space for allowing the moment to be the moment and nothing more.
It’s quite obvious that these people care a great deal about their profession and they’re amazing at it too.
Carve out a path for yourself and call it, My Greatness Path and start exploring the things that make you you. What makes you great and what can you do to make yourself greater? The first step towards honing your greatness is by resolving some of those inner conflicts that have taken refuge in your heart.
Until next time…
Your friend,
Greg Halpen
