    Why “The One” is Never Love at First Sight

    enFebruary 29, 2016

    Podcast Summary

    • The Myth of 'The One'Believe in the possibility of multiple compatible partners, rather than limiting yourself to the idea of one perfect match.

      The concept of "the one" can be limiting and potentially offensive. According to relationship expert Matthew Hussey, the idea that there is only one person in the world who is perfect for us is unlikely and an insult to most people's intelligence. Instead, he encourages the belief that there are many potential partners who could be the "one" for us. In the realm of dating, Hussey also offers advice on how to reignite interest from a guy who has gone cold, but the overarching message is to keep an open mind and not put too much pressure on finding one perfect match. Ultimately, the focus should be on forming meaningful connections with others and appreciating the unique qualities each person brings to the table.

    • Finding 'the one' through consistent investmentsThe idea of 'the one' isn't about instant perfection, but rather about finding someone who consistently invests in you and shows up for you in your life.

      The idea of "the one" isn't about finding someone who just appears in your life and is instantly perfect. Instead, it's about finding someone who consistently invests in you and shows up for you in your life. When you first meet someone and feel a connection, that's just the beginning. You don't have to label them as "the one" right away. Instead, allow them to earn that title by demonstrating their commitment to you through their actions. And remember, you become their "one" by doing the same for them. So, cherish the connections you make and let them prove themselves to you through their investments in your relationship. This is a more authentic and romantic way to approach the concept of "the one" in a relationship.

    • Nine 'magic texts' to re-engage menTry out these nine texts to re-ignite a man's interest and bring him back into focus. Evaluate the worthiness of the man first.

      If you're looking to reignite a man's interest after he's pulled away, consider trying out one of the nine "magic texts" outlined in Matthew Hussey's free guide. These texts, which can be found at love life podcast.com/forward/texts, are designed to re-engage men and bring you back into their focus. Before attempting to use these texts, it's important to evaluate whether the man is worth your time and effort. If the answer is yes, give one of the texts a try and share your results with Matthew Hussey on Twitter using the hashtag #lovelife. Remember, communication is key in any relationship, so don't hesitate to express your thoughts and feelings through social media or direct messages. And, as always, take care and stay connected.

    (Matt Monday): Get Too Obsessed, Too Soon? WATCH THIS

    (Rewind): Don’t Avoid Difficult Conversations In Relationships. Do THIS…

    (Rewind): Don’t Avoid Difficult Conversations In Relationships. Do THIS…
    Sometimes we avoid speaking up about what we really want with a person because we're afraid we will "make waves" in the relationship.

    We come from a place of fear and anxiety. "What if me telling him I want something to be different makes him walk away altogether?" we think to ourselves.

    So we ignore the conversation and silently suffer.

    But then nothing gets better. We just put off the conversation for another day while time keeps moving on.
    If this is you, this episode is for you.

    Review Your Relationship with Money

    Review Your Relationship with Money
    Recently, I have had a great experience in reading a book called “The Energy of Money” by Maria Nemeth. I would thoroughly recommend this book to any person who is interested in better understanding their relationship to money. After all, this is what I have been advocating very strongly in my past few blogs. To become financially educated and realize your potential, you need to understand who you are and why you make the life and financial decisions that you do.

    Making Sustainable Change In Your Life

    Making Sustainable Change In Your Life
    Are you one of the majority of people who finds it hard to make changes to your life? Do you actually want to make changes in your life? Do you know how to make changes in your life? Do you know where to start? In my work as a Wealth Mentor, (which involves a blend of being coach, trainer and advisor) helping people make changes to the way they work and live is a big part of what I do. To be honest, I have had to make many big changes personally to be doing what I am doing today. Becoming aware of a deep passion to educate others to become more empowered to make better financial decisions has been a catalyst for me making many changes in my life. Clearly there have been other changes that I have made at times, such as losing weight or getting fitter, that have not always been directly tied to a passion. But even then, those changes were made in the broader scheme of improving my overall life and enabling me to better live my passions. I believe discovering your passion is an important first step because it is foundational to your life purpose and hence helps you define a goal that is worth fighting for.

    Holding Your Space In Critical Conversations

    Holding Your Space In Critical Conversations
    I was having a discussion with an executive coach about how you remain comfortable when having a potentially difficult conversation. There are a lot of theories about this and to some degree everyone will do it differently. One of the interesting thoughts that arose was that the course of a conversation can go in many directions and you will not necessarily know how it will turn out. All possibilities can exist at one moment. You need to remember you are not the only party to that conversation. What the other person says or how they react or their tone of voice can totally change the outcome. Their reaction may ultimately trigger you to move in another direction. This has been true for me in a number of difficult conversations that I have had.

    Financial Freedom or Financial Complications

    Financial Freedom or Financial Complications
    One of the financial advisors in a group asked me whether everyone would go through Financial DNA. The answer is potentially yes. We have had people with very little wealth and some with over $1billion go through the process, and all of them have been greatly liberated by the personal knowledge they have gained. This triggered the response from one of them, "Well if I was super wealthy I wouldn't bother, I would be out of here. I would have my financial freedom". Such a comment raises many questions and issues which cannot all be addressed right now. But my response was: "Well do you really have financial freedom with super wealth?". Many wealthy people are in actual fact prisoners of their wealth. It brings a whole new set of financial complications, let alone the personal issues. I mentioned that it is not always a life on easy street with these people. So perhaps financial freedom at this level is not really the dream?

    Living On Purpose

    Living On Purpose
    Wherever I have gone this year more and more advisors and people at large are talking about living a "life on purpose". Advisors are saying to me, we are having deeper conversations with clients about purpose. These conversations are becoming the core of how they help clients find fulfilment and make more discerning decisions. There is also a ground swell of people in all walks of life wanting to have a life with more meaning and they are starting to engage in discussions about their purpose. To me this is very exciting. I believe people can truly develop and build a quality life once they get close to their purpose and have the courage to start living it.
