1.7 million men & women come to me every month to find the secrets to success. And after 20 years of coaching, I’ve discovered the golden keys to success in dating, business, health and wellness, and life.
I’ve helped millions of men and women around the globe achieve success in their dating, social and personal lives. I’m also a father to the world’s cutest little girl, and I am an unapologetic man. Some say I’m nuts, others say I’ve changed their life forever. One thing’s for certain: I’ll always give you the truth, whether you can handle it or not. I never sugar coat anything.
Nice is so overrated. I’d prefer brutally honest breakthrough to a “nice” rut any damn day of the week. If you’re the same way, then you've come to the right place.
Very true, there is a lesson in everything.
Today during internship, I needed to get my access card fixed. The guy who fixed my card, had a sign that said:"If you were somebody else, would you want to be friends with the person that you are?"
I commented on that and we talked quite a bit. He told me that sign reminds him every day to be the best version of himself that he can be, all about self love.
I felt the same way.
To me David, Women expect men to be Manly and Manlike. i dont meaning killing bears with there teeth but manly in understanding them and allowing them to be women. No woman wants to mom there boyfriend, if they do then thats there thing. But I think the real lesson is experience. It took a beautiful younger woman who is very proud confident and lovely as hell to open my eyes. Before I was closed off and really ran what I call middle school game. She is light years ahead of me when it comes to dating and socializing and figured me out in a second. That was a lesson. She called me on my shit and got mad because I turned out not to be as confident as I projected. She hit me with the friend zone speech and nothing was ever the same. Most men would whine but Im 32. We talked every other day, I listened then changed a few things about how I talk and carry myself and she changed. Life is beautiful, precious and brief. SO FUKN LIVE ALREADY!!
This is a cliche'. Although we all learn from our our previous experiences, everything does NOT happen for a reason, or a purpose. Things just happen in random order, in most cases, and we can, and do, learn from many of them. But, there is no "reason" for them happening in our lives. Some happen from the choices we make in our lives, but others just happen. Your tire blows out, and your car flips over, and you are paralized, and your wife or child killed, does not happen for "a reason". It is just plain bad luck, that you will always wish never happened, and you will not learn much from, if it had not happened. Many such things, not as severe, happen in our lives that have negative consequences, and should not happen, and we learn nothing from. So live life, but realize that things can, and will, happen that you wish never did, but learn to roll with them, without letting it bring you down, if possible.
this quote is exactly right. ive been thinking of something similar to this for some time now. the answer to everyones question of life isnt the same for everyone, because everyone is different.
Is this Bob guy done criticizing everything on Dave's website? Jeez, man, stop being a prick and just leave if you don't have anything constructive to take from the blogs..
I don't believe that "everything happens for a reason". Sure there are lessons you can pull from every experience, but it doesn't mean that that partcular event happened for the purpose of teaching you a lesson.
Say for example your grandma dies. This is just an event. You can choose to learn and grow from this experience or not. It's not like the creator of the universe went out of his way to strike your gradmother down for the sole purpose of teaching you a lesson. It's an imperfect world, so shit happens. I guess the better question is: what did grandma learn from this experience?
Rob,
Sorry that I upset you with my contrarian views about SOME of Dave's blogs. I am by nature a realist, and Dave is by nature an optomist, so there will always be some disagreement between our views on life, dating, and relationships. I have garnered a lot of great tips, knowledge, and information from David's blogs, and admire him as a mentor, and consider him a fine "lifestyle coach". I do not know why he calls himself a "dating coach" when his ideas and beliefs really fit better into a "lifestyle coach". I have noticed that most of the readers of his blog, are almost cult like in their following of his ideas and beliefs, expressing no opinions of their own, except to praise him, his beliefs, and his writings. I am simply trying to get these folks to realize that there are other points of views, beliefs, and ways to look at life, than David portrays and believes. If you do not like my comments, as you suggested to me, just do not read them, when you see my name on the comment section. But I do suggest you form your own opinions, don't be afraid to express them, and live life as YOU want to, not the way anyone else tells you to. David is more than capable of defending himself, and I have a feeling, he does not have a problem with me pointing out differing views from him. If anything, I think he would agree that that is what makes life interesting, and allows you to review your own beliefs to confirm, or change them.
I agree with bob. I dont believe everything happens for a reason, somethings do and somethings just happen. Thanks for pointing that out. Nice blog dave
