Dyed not Painted

Let's get right to the point today.

The purpose of this blog (and the book that will follow) is to ingrain these concepts of being a better partner, and being more affectionate and romantic into your core principles. I want these things to be dyed into your being, not just painted on the surface.

Too many times we start things that are good for us, and let them drop a few days later. We exercise for a week or so, watch what we eat for a few days and revert back to our old ways without even realizing it.

We have an argument with our spouse about that same old thing - and the argument triggers a change, but it's temporary. And before you know it, the same old habit rears its ugly head - yet again.

Why?
Because the changes are driven by emotion, rather than our core philosophy.
Emotions change and our priorities change with them. But our core philosophies don't change like that. What's right today - was right yesterday and will be right tomorrow. Do what's right over and over, and it becomes a habit.

It's like a golf swing. The more you do it right, the higher probability to you have of doing it right the next time. It's work. It's constant. But the results are truly amazing.

So, if you want this to work, let the principles that I'm communicating with you sink in. Absorb them. Paint fades and chips away. Dye is absorbed and becomes part of the object. Let me encourage you to let these concepts be absorbed into your core principles. You won't regret it.

Stay in touch -

Mark
