We all know what it’s like to be denied intimacy.
To have something stirring inside you… And feel that insistent tugging on your soul… To need to connect and share those deeper parts of yourself…
Only to be faced with rejection and disinterest in return. It’s a terrible, and terribly familiar feeling…
And yet, we rarely recognize it when we create that same feeling within the people that we love.
Okay, so I’m not gonna lie…This post is a bit of an ass-kicking.
Because that question in the title? Sell your soul, or lose your love?
It’s a choice you have to make FAR more often than you realize.
And worse… It’s a demand we continually MAKE upon the people we love.
Without even knowing that we’re doing it…
So there’s this thing that happens, as you get wiser and deeper and more and more awesome…
You become more capable of CONNECTING.
You explore. You grow. You change. And all of those things create layers of complexity and depth… Layers that you can share with other people.
But… And here’s the shitty part… All that awesomeness also makes you DIFFERENT. And so it gets harder and harder to find people to connect WITH.
Because we all get deeper in our own unique way.
And that creates a frustrating dilemma…
As YOU get deeper—your circle of friends gets smaller…
I teach people to do cool things with their consciousness, and break their brains with beautiful ideas.
