That it would take time away from his art and his work for about a year. Then he met a woman and felt feelings for her that he didn’t know existed. And his heart was saying prioritize this relationship. Making this partnership a priority enhances everything. This relationship is based on deep connection instead of shallow companionship and that makes all the difference. This is the first time in his live that he has ever prioritized his partnership with his significant other. What is a connection based relationship? This is a relationship where we want to honor, discover and receive who our partner is. And we give who we really are to our partner. Allowing ourselves to be discovered. This is about surrender and deep intimacy. What is a companionship based relationship? This is a relationship where you are less interested in receiving who your partner is into your life and more interested in making you who I want you to be. And I’m more interested in being who I think you want me to be in order to get your approval and earn your love rather than sharing who I truly am. This is a very control based experience. What is the best partnership / relationship advice you have ever received? Be willing to experience discomfort in a relationship. Both your feeling and your partner”s feelings. If you try to avoid either, it means you’re disconnecting from yourself and/or disconnecting from your partner. So do the things and say the things that you think will scare your partner away. Be willing to risk being authentic. This is unapologetically honoring yourself.
