LOVERS FOR LIFE: THE PATH OF LASTING PASSION
Relationships: There is perhaps no other word loaded in the English language with so many meanings, emotions, opinions, fears, heartbreak, or joy. Yet, there is nothing more important. We can have amazing kids, a great job, a fit body, financial abundance, emotional strength, and spiritual resolve and yet, without someone to share all of this with, it brings less meaning to our lives. If you've ever had the privilege of experiencing great love, you know firsthand the power it has to transform virtually every facet of your life. Extraordinary relationships are not the result of good luck, great chemistry, or convenience. Rather, there are laws of love—skills we need to hone, practice, and apply—which determine the amount of fulfillment we experience in our intimate lives. Specifically, the 7 Master Skills and the 10 Disciplines of Love and Passion are the backbone of this program, and create the base of any outstanding relationship. The ultimate key to creating and experiencing an extraordinary, fulfilling relationship, however, is to first work on you:to overcome your fears, to be more of who you really are at your core, and to master the skills and disciplines that will not only transform your relationships, but the quality of your entire life as well. When you raise your standard for what you expect from yourselfin this area, you will naturally call out the best in your partner.
THETHREELEVELSOFMASTERY
To attain the level of mastery that will fulfill us at the deepest level, there are three levels we must achieve in any area of life:
LEVEL1:
Cognitive Understanding You understand it intellectually.
LEVEL2:
Emotional Mastery You feel it emotionally.
LEVEL3:
Physical Mastery You embody it and own it in your physiology. If you want to create substantial results in your life, mere knowledge is not enough. Anything you learn and want to apply to your life must go through several levels of mastery. Beginning with Cognitive Understanding, you have an insight about what works, what doesn't work, and what must be done to create the results you want. The next level is Emotional Mastery, when you feel emotionally the necessity of applying yourselfto making this change real. However, the real results come with Physical Mastery, when you not only know and feel what must be done, but you repeatedly apply your knowledge to your life until it becomes a pattern in your body. For example, you may begin by understanding that a certain behavior of yours always creates friction and problems in relationships: let's say, a tendency to be controlling with your partner.
You may even repeatedlyfeelthat change is important enough to trya different direction in your relationship. However, it is not until you commit to, repeat, and conditiona different approach in your life that you create a new relationship pattern that will bring permanent improvement. Passionate relationships are not forthe lazy! When you encounter a relationship pattern in your life that needs to change, make sure that youtake consistent massive action to create a new pattern in your relationship. Forlasting change, take yourunderstanding to the level of physical mastery.When you own something at Level 3, Physical Mastery becomes part of your identity. This is the only way for a transformation in any area of your life to last.
