Enlightenment Through Experience, Suffering, and Pain


With the start of my blog, it is only necessary that my first post features the start of my passion. Knowledge of attraction would have always been nice, but where did the thirst for this knowledge become a burning obsession? I wasn't always enthralled by everything I heard about attractions, girls, love, and life.....

Like millions of other guys before me, I fell for a girl and thought I was in love. I was naive, disillusioned, and I dug myself into one hell of a hole. Having found a girl that matched the feelings I felt for her, I did everything in my power to please her and to avoid offending her. I would mask my desires, reschedule my plans, and do anything to make her happy. Therefore it was a huge shock when I found her cheating on me and breaking up with me.

For months I was depressed and strung along through "friendship" only to be manipulated and beat up. However, my story differs from the stories of millions of other guys because I had the drive to change myself. I had the drive to devote countless hours to learning where I went wrong and what I should do right. If a meaningful relationship can contribute so much to one's health and happiness, why not put the same time into it as people put into learning calculus or geography, disregarding the wasted time people spend watching T.V. or making excuses. How many people have gotten the same happiness from those activities as they have from a loving relationship? Regardless, society doesn't emphasize learning about social skills in proportion to the benefit, which is why it is important to make time and achieve this happiness.

My goal through this blog is to help set others on the right path without going through the learning pains I had to. Many people want to improve, but a small fraction of those are willing to make the improvement a reality. It isn't until one has suffered and been through hell that they seek the path to heaven. While I can't force anyone to take the right path, I can patiently await those who have suffered like I did. When that time comes I will be here looking to share my views, knowledge, and thoughts on all matters relating to improving one's self, particularly in regards to relationships.

Note: Often with posts I will feature additional content that would normally be too lengthy for wandering readers. This content can be found on the website where I serve as a volunteer editor and contributor, www.paragonproject.com. Registration is free and a whole new world of knowledge is contained there. I am not paid for any of this. My reward is the appreciation I receive.
