What is THE most important date you do not want to miss before you die?
I have had many dates over my 61 years. Some dates were with my wife at the time, others with a partner or a girlfriend or even strangers I wanted to know. Some were amazing, and others were duds. There was joy with some and sadness with others. There was great sex and no sex. Some shook my heart, while others touched my soul. A few were even divine, soulful, and seemed out of time.
Lately, they have been nothing but loving, joyful, abundant, and peaceful. Of course, growth challenges always show up, which is a good thing. The new dating storyline goes as follows; if we can share communion in service to the higher good of each other and our soulful higher Self... I am all in.
The old storyline of the romantic partnership I told myself was, what's in it for me? Narcissistic dating to fill the jagged hole of inadequacy within the self is the norm these days. It does not matter if you are married or single. Anybody can get stuck in this rut of romance. I was for many years. So, what changed?
In his wonderful book We: Understanding the Psychology of Romantic Love, Robert Johnson writes,” No matter how many fabrications or how much selfishness we justify in the name of “love,” love still keeps its unchanging character.
Since Love is unchanging I realized that I need to change.
I needed to regenerate the love within. The most important date I could ever go on was with myself. The story of love can be regenerated at any time. Even if you are completely fulfilled by your love, I encourage you to write a new love story. In the newness of radical Self-love, anything is possible, and nothing is impossible. Even the lonely, unloved places within can be healed.
I found that regenerating love, as I have described, led to a miracle. The date with myself transformed the date with faith to a date with destiny.
Blessings,
Adam
