So you want a loving relationship?

Try waking up - its the ONLY answer

I recently saw a man yell at his wife.

Although for many years I probably thought that he was cruel or mean, I now see things differently. I now look at him (and perhaps his wife) as simply being asleep.

They are reacting and responding to each other without consciousness. Like many of us, they are not aware of how they are behaving or why. They don’t actually see what is really going on so as a result they just react, often in predictable patterns over and over.

Today, I truly believe that the ONLY solution to lasting happiness in a relationship is self-awareness and self-responsibility. And this requires waking up.

And this is exactly wheat my upcoming book (Wake the F Up) is about.

So, if you are in a relationship and are awake, this might happen:

1. You may notice how you are behaving (yelling)

2. You might be able to stop yourself in that moment (choose not to yell)

3. You may be able to take responsibility for your part (admit you are triggered)

4. You might investigate the real cause of your irritation (in your subconscious)

5. You may be able to repair any harm done and prevent future outbursts.

This shows the power of waking up and it is guaranteed to improve all relationships.
