• Chances are, if a man you’re dating/seeing isn’t mutually cultivating the garden of life with you and bringing it to fruition, he’s more of a liability than an asset. He’s already taking away the most valuable thing in your life, which is your time, attention, and energy, and enjoying your fruits. In the worst-case scenario, he’s emotionally distracting you from growing with his dramas. And the same applies to men. Stay focused.
• If a man can chat with you at 4am, he is either that obsessed with you or he doesn’t have a job. (Most of the time it’s the latter.)
• Stop being frustrated or complaining; instead, keep reaffirming what you really desire in the other person and tell that to the divine.
• Love without sacrifices is just lust.
• If you want the rose, you need to bear the risk of getting pricked by the thorns. Which rose is worth taming?
• In 2024, I made a promise: whenever I get emotional or confused about a situation involving relationships, I would turn to learning about investment, finance, the economy, or geopolitics. After a while, don’t get me wrong, I still experience emotions. However, my perspective shifts, perhaps due to age or experience. Things become clearer, and the intensity of emotional upsets diminishes. And you’ll find yourself thrilled and excited by the new knowledge and the endless possibilities it opens up. It’s a powerful reminder that growth and learning can be the best antidotes to emotional confusion, leading to a richer, more fulfilling life.
