So, I went on a date.. the date of horror..
So, I went on a date as one does…
And this guy was a man I'd seen about ten months earlier.
I liked him.
Enjoyed him.
Felt like he was a vibe.
And then, after the second date, he shared that he and his ex would try and work things out.
Of course after I already gave him my third book An Uncompromised Life.
So, he educated me on where he was in his journey of healing.
I said, excellent, thanks for being honest; I appreciate the memories.
Well, ten months go by.
And I'm out for a dinner date with my love a few weeks ago.
But I saw this product, and it was a product; this past guy talked about making.
And I was like, OH MY GOD! THIS IS PROBABLY his product!
I told my love this and then texted the guy.
He responded, and of course, it was his product!
So, as one thing leads to another, we end up going on two more dates.
But this time, the second date was a disaster.
The energy was just off.
We arrive at the place he made reservations at 8 pm on a Saturday; everywhere is busy in LA.
He knew the manager, so we were waiting for our table, and there may have been running 10-15 minutes behind because they had a specific table that was private, intimate waiting for us.
However, this man had a panic attack in the restaurant.
He kept saying, "this is crazy, vroom, vroom. This person is here. That person there. Everyone is flying everywhere. I knew I should have never let you say 8 pm on a Saturday."
I mean, he just went ON AND ON AND ON…
I was just trying to be calm and manage because I didn't know what else to do.
So, he was bothered we had to wait, and then he told them we were leaving.
Then we go across town to another place.
The whole time he is going ON AND ON AND ON.
About how busy this place was and how stressful it was.
How everyone was going everywhere.
It was like this guy had just experienced a mob crowd at a screamo concert.
Finally, we arrived.
He parks on the street, but it says no parking from 6 pm to 6 am!
Again, just in the chaos he is, this will be a headache; what do we do?
Then he sees Valet.
We'll see if they have a spot.
He runs in to see if they have a table.
I'm honestly just sitting here trying to breathe and stay calm.
They have one table outside, and he wanted the bigger table.
Someone almost took the bigger table, so he ran back, freaking out. I want a bigger table. When the hostess said, I seated the other people at the smaller table, relax.
We sit down. I am FREEZING.
He runs to the bathroom.
The hostess says we can get you tea on the house.
A table opens inside.
This lovely woman sees I'm suffering through being cold; she grabs me right away and says here sweetie, a perfect table inside.
He returns from the bathroom to see me sitting at the table.
He is somewhat stabilizing his emotional state again.
Saying this is much better, the other place was crazy, there, there. Everyone going everywhere.
Again, just ON AND ON.
I mean we are over sixty minutes past leaving the other restaurant.
Finally, we ordered at this restaurant.
We get our Champagne.
He didn't like the champagne glass.
So, he returns it, asking for a tall, frozen one.
We get our food.
But the small plates we had for the sharing plates were too small for him.
He wanted bigger plates.
So, he asks them for bigger plates.
They brought larger plates; these plates weren't enough, so he asked again for bigger plates.
Finally, we were eating after this hour and fifteen-minute adventure.
Then he turns to me and says, "so what are you going to do with your life after your Ph.D.?"
My mouth and body were shocked and stunned.
----
[but this wasn't the first time a man had talked to me like this.
It activated the memory of the MANY men who have discounted, disregarded, and devalued my work.
This reminded me of ALL THE MEN who think the digital world is "child's play" or insignificant.
This reminded me of when I was TOO WEAK to stick up for my work.
This activated a pulsating rage in me when I thought I was nobody, I didn't matter, and my work didn't matter.
However, this time was different because I didn't need to get mad, angry, or annoyed.
Instead….]
I calmly replied, "What will I do with my life?"
I am ALREADY DOING A LOT with my life.
Have you seen my website?
I pulled out my phone and began to show my website, my nine manufactured and self-created products, my 33 digital courses, and all the hundreds beautiful testimonials this community has shared with what this work has offered in your life.
His response was, "wow, this is just how the world works now. There are so many dumb and weak people out there."
My mouth DROPPED, SHOCKED.
But again, I stayed calm as he got more triggered, aggressive, and angry.
What?
My clients are not dumb or weak.
He's like, "no, no, I'm proud of you."
I said, "yeah, those two things of what you said cannot exist at the same time.
This industry has changed my life, and I believe that my life is a testament to what personal development and getting around people who have created success can do for you. So, I would be one of those dumb and weak people.”
And his mouth finally dropped.
Okay, I exaggerated.
I gave a blank stare as if whatever he said had zero impact on me but significantly affected his ability to have access to me.
This caused him to go FURTHER into an emotional spiral than the whole night at already been.
We leave the date.
He gives the Valet a card; they only take cash or Zelle.
He freaks out, "everyone only takes Zelle; this is crazy, just crazy."
I said I have Zelle; I'm happy to do it.
The valet woman laughs slightly because watching this grown man crumble in front of us is amusing.
Then he said, "Give me the keys. I'll get the car myself."
He goes to get the car himself but cannot get in because they are parked so close together.
He goes around the back of the other car to go up the car from the back.
He opens the door, and he cannot get it without his door hitting the other car door.
He is just saying, "this is crazy, this is crazy."
The Valet woman is next to me, and we are smiling.
He again is having another meltdown.
She said, "sir, would you like me to help."
He said, "obviously."
She goes over there and flexes her way into the car to pull it out.
I get in the car.
He says, "wow, she is so flexible."
We drive home.
In the last part, he tells me about another date he was on.
And he goes, "She had a Harvard hat on. Three times on the date, she mentioned I went to Harvard. Gosh, she is so stupid, as if that is relevant."
I responded again, "hmm, interesting, more stupid people in your eyes. She is not stupid; from her paradigm, she has achieved the highest rank you can; from your paradigm, she has not achieved meaningful things. This does not make her or you stupid; it's different."
He drops me off.
I sent a pleasant text message, and that was that.
SO, LORD ALMIGHTY, wow, there was a lot to unpack there.
One was BELIEVE IN WHO YOU ARE.
Magical ALIEN MEN AND WOMAN – STOP LETTING THE HUMANS DEGRADE AND DEVALUE US.
Just because you don't understand the power in someone else's work doesn't give you the right to put others down.
Two STICK UP FOR YOUR TRUTH, YOUR MAGIC, AND YOUR WORK.
It took me a long time and staying in a relationship WAY TO LONG where I was talked to like this.
I was told I knew nothing special.
I was told that I'm delusional.
I was told that I do not practice what I preach.
When NO ONE IS PERFECT, we are in the practice of becoming.
I do practice what I preach and bring myself back to peace and harmony when I become out of alignment. And it’s about your REBOUND RATE. Of once your out of alignment can you notice it, and how quickly can you bring yourself back into alignment?
However, the lesson do not let anyone talk badly about you or the people you are here to serve.
These are REAL HUMANS, WITH REAL SOULS, WITH REAL DESIRES.
No one gets to shun the people you are here to serve, and you have A DUTY AND RESPONSBILITY TO PROTECT those people at all cost.
Three, RELEASE.
Let go and get away from these people immediately.
Get away from these people who are no longer serving you.
GET AWAY from negative and close-minded people IMMEDATELY.
There is nothing wrong with you; there is EVERYTHING RIGHT WITH YOU.
That your LIGHT IS irritating these SHADOW aspects of you being reflected to you through other people that are trying to keep you down, they are trying to dim you, make you feel insecure, not enough, like your art doesn't belong here in this world.
But KEEP SHINING THROUGH IT.
Be calm inside the storm.
Don't allow these energies, people, and parasites activate your emotional reactivity to take you off your center.
Let them go.
And lastly, this is a process where it takes you choosing to invest time and energy into creating a new circle of friends.
It takes you choosing to invest in mentorship and coaching as I did to get support to BREAK AWAY from these ties and weights in your life that are holding you down.
It takes you declaring and demanding that when a situation like this arises, you calmly, with grace, can say no more.
And you can see you beat this level of the videogame for you to go up and onward.
