			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday we talked all about tactless breakups.</p>
<p>This got me thinking and as usual Oprah delivered. Ok stop laughing I am not an Opraholic, I actually never watch but my family is in town and the TV has been on way too much!</p>
<p>As I was flipping through the channels, I reacquainted myself with the beauty of daytime television.  I remember being addicted to General Hospital when I was in high school and college.  I remember Luke, Laura, Robert Scorpio and all the amazing things about Port Charles.<br />
<a href="http://www.davidwygant.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//weddingbig.jpeg"><img src="http://www.davidwygant.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//weddingbig-287x300.jpg" alt="" title="weddingbig" width="287" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-5186" /></a><br />
So after flipping through the channels, I ended up watching Oprah.  She was interviewing Jenny McCarthy, someone whom I don&#8217;t know a lot about other than that she has an autistic kid and that she&#8217;s always been super hot. </p>
<p>As I was listening to the interview, Jenny McCarthy said something really interesting.  Oprah asked Jenny McCarthy why she broke up with Jim Carey.  Now there are rumors that Jim Carey is depressed among other things, but those were not the reasons she said she broke up with him.  She looked at Oprah point blank and said that the relationship stopped being fun.</p>
<p>It stopped being fun.  When I heard her say that, it really triggered something inside of me.  </p>
<p>How many of you are still in fun relationships?  As far as I&#8217;m concerned, I agree with her 100%.  If my relationship isn&#8217;t fun, it&#8217;s over. </p>
<p>Why do you need to continue to torture one another? Why do you need to stay together for the sake of kids, when two people can&#8217;t have fun anymore? </p>
<p>How many of you are in relationships that are no longer fun?  How many of you are just staying together because you think the kids need you together? </p>
<p>In reality, kids always know when people aren&#8217;t having fun because they are good at reading non-verbal body language.  They see two parents sitting in a restaurant, not smiling and not talking.  The kid isn&#8217;t talking either.  What do you think he&#8217;s doing?  He&#8217;s evaluating what is going on between his parents, and he knows deep down his parents don&#8217;t enjoy each other anymore. </p>
<p>I&#8217;m a product of a divorced home, and I knew my mom and my dad had issues the whole time I was growing up.  I remember my mom used to say, &#8220;Kids, we&#8217;re going upstairs.&#8221;  Three minutes later, the door would be open after they had some quick sex.  </p>
<p>I knew they weren&#8217;t connected because I felt it and I saw it.  When the door would open, my dad would go on one side of the bed while my mom would be in the bathroom washing up.  There was no feeling, no passion, no touching &#8212; nothing ever between them.  </p>
<p>We have one shot in life.  I truly believe that you need to do things that you enjoy.  You need to do things that you love. </p>
<p>You need to be an active participant in your life.  You should not be a slave to your life.   </p>
<p>You should not be a slave to your children.  Your children should not run, manipulate or control your life. </p>
<p>When you stay in a relationship that is not fun anymore, you are just staying in something that is eventually going to blow up.  You don&#8217;t need to be a slave to your significant other &#8212; being at their beck and call.  That is really not fun. </p>
<p>Life is short. Life can end at any moment. </p>
<p>With that being the case, why are so many of us so stuck in mediocrity?  Why are so many of us stuck not having fun and living this way? </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve had a really amazing life. I&#8217;ve had a lot of fun, and I agree with what Jenny McCarthy says.  Whenever I have stopped having fun in relationships, I was done.  It was over.  </p>
<p>Now, I&#8217;m sure a lot of you are thinking that I don&#8217;t know the word &#8220;commitment,&#8221; let alone know what it means.  To me, though, commitment was never about staying in hell or staying with someone even if you are miserable. </p>
<p>Now, for all the people who are very religious and don&#8217;t believe in divorce and so forth, here&#8217;s what I say to you.  This is the 21st century.  It&#8217;s time you stopped believing in old religious practices and old moral standards, and really get an accountability of your own life. Don&#8217;t blame the church, your parents or anyone else if your relationship isn&#8217;t working or is no longer fun.  The only person to blame for staying in your relationship is you. </p>
<p>Hopefully today&#8217;s post really got people thinking.   I know I&#8217;m going to get a lot of comments about all the reasons people HAVE to stay in their current relationships (like kids, finances etc).  Those are just excuses. </p>
<p>Life is full of excuses.  You can always find an excuse for something, and embrace that excuse until you turn it into a reality.  </p>
<p>I&#8217;m about living a life that has no excuses and no fear.  I am about embracing every challenge and living a fun life.  </p>
<p>Does anyone want to join me on this wonderful ride called life?  Let me know.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just got off the phone with a client and I had to share this with all of you.</p>
<p>I could not wait till tomorrows blog&#8230;&#8230;I think all of you will enjoy this!</p>
<p>	There is no reason in life to take things personally.</p>
<p>	If you truly respect yourself – if you really think that you’re a great person – then if someone else doesn’t like you, you won’t take it personally.</p>
<p>	It just means that you might have some stuff to work on. You have some stuff to do.</p>
<p>	Life is just like a mirror – we attract exactly who we are so we can learn the lessons we’re ready to learn.</p>
<p>	So if you’re getting blown off on a regular basis and you’re feeling really bummed and obsessing over it, there is a lesson there that you haven’t yet embraced. You haven’t looked deep enough into it.<span id="more-929"></span></p>
<p>	You have to look at yourself and think, why am I getting blown off? What am I doing to cause this pattern in my life? Something that you are doing is perpetuating that pattern.</p>
<p>	Don’t take the rejection personally, just realize that there is something in your life that you have not done, there is something you need to do to work on yourself first. </p>
<p>You haven’t learned all of the lessons from the relationships you’ve had in the past. Every relationship in your life gives you a lesson that you need to learn from and embrace.</p>
<p>Since I posted this second blog today, I am putting up my podcast and announcement again on here so you don&#8217;t miss them!  Here they are&#8230; </p>
<p>In today&#8217;s podcast, I am going to issue a challenge you like none other . . . and you will look at yourself in a way you never have before.  I also reveal a SPECIAL OFFER in this podcast, so be sure to check it out! </p>
<p>Click the play button below to listen now: </p>
<p><code><!-- BYOAudio.com Player code BEGIN --></p>
<div class="byoplayer"><iframe src="http://www.byoaudio.com/playweb?audioid=P1a7cd24d576287fc146fca43453d93feYl54QFREYmR0&#038;buffer=5&#038;shape=2&#038;fc=F3CF07&#038;pc=AAAAFF&#038;kc=888800&#038;bc=FFFFFF&#038;player=bp03" height="20" width="60" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></div>
<p><!-- BYOAudio.com Player code END --></code></p>
<p>Now for some great news and a big announcement&#8230; </p>
<p>==>Big Announcement<== </p>
<p>As some of you already know, my membership maxed out and has been full since soon after it launched.  In fact, we had to put everyone who wasn't able to get a slot on a waiting list. </p>
<p>Well, due to me hiring an additional coach I am now able to accept an additional 125 Members on the membership site! (Because of all the individual coaching and personalized attention that members receive on the site, I strictly limit the number of members in proportion to the number of coaches) </p>
<p>If you want one of those slots, <a href="http://mycommunity.davidwygant.com">click here:</a> </p>
<p>Once those 125 slots have been snatched up, the site will once again close and I will once again have to put everyone else on a waiting list.  So if you want one of these slots, I wouldn&#8217;t wait too long to click on the link!</p>
<p>So if you’re getting blown off and thinking to yourself, god, why does everybody hate me, there is something that you are missing; you need to go deeper into it. Look deeper into why you are getting blown off and then work on that part of you.</p>
<p>It could be that you’re too needy on the first date. Maybe people are blowing you off because they see the desperation in you. </p>
<p>It could be that you haven’t gotten laid in a while, and you come in with way too much sexual energy that is overwhelming. Instead of letting the sexual tension build, the woman literally feels your dick growing under the dinner table – and it doesn’t turn her on!</p>
<p>There are a lot of things that you have to start looking at within yourself. Many times people don’t want to look within themselves, but remember that you are the cause and effect of everything you do.</p>
<p>	You have to look deeper into it.</p>
