He Doesn't Believe in Birthdays and Anniversaries, but I
know He Loves Me
back to "Reality Check"
"He doesn't believe in birthdays and anniversaries, but
I know he loves me."
Year after year, does your birthday and anniversary pass
without a gift or
acknowledgement? If you have told your partner how
important these days are
for you, and still he forgets, learn how to stop making
excuses for this
hurtful behavior.
1. Do these special days mean something to you and have
you told him?
2. An important part of loving is caring what is
important to another
person.
3. It does not matter if these days mean nothing to him
- Selfish
people think everyone looks at the world the same way
they do.
4. Men who love look forward to birthdays and
anniversaries to show
love - why pass up the opportunity?
5. When you constantly remind your partner what he has
consciously
chosen to forget, you end up feeling bad.

This daily email is an opportunity to stay
connected to what's real and true. Cutting
through to "The Real Truth" is my way of sharing
with you an inner barometer to test the
"realness" of where you are at any moment.
Having a good life is not for the weak at heart.
A cold eye is what's needed to plunge our inner
depths and for that we must be brave. Regardless
of our dysfunction, our ego must be healthy and
strong enough so that we can we be brutally
honest with ourselves. Real bravery is accepting
that the inner journey will include "uncomfortableness"
and anxiety; that there is no way to face our
demons without the willingness to meet them.
There will always be emotional pain when we
finally feel our grief and sadness, and get in
touch with a lifetime of "stuffed feelings", but
once we stop resisting what has always been
there, we experience freedom, and finally know
that suffering is optional. Here's to living in
the present moment - not the past or the future
