“Your edge is where you stop short, or where you compromise your fullest gift, and, instead, cater to your fears.”

“When you are fully giving your gift, there is the feeling that there is nothing left in you as you. There's nothing held back.”

“Your true destiny may seem far less predict than the imitation you may have spent years holding in place.”

“Chronic dissatisfaction is how you sense that you are living a lie.”

“If you were absolutely fearless, would you be earning a living in exactly the same way as you are now?”

“A free man is free to acknowledge his fears, without hiding them, or hiding from them.”

“Stop hoping for a completion of anything in life.”

“To act as a superior man, a samurai of relationship, you must feel the entire situation with your whole body. A closed body is unable to sense subtle cues and signals, and therefore unable to act with mastery in the moment.”

“Listen to your heart through your fear, and be willing to take the next step without the slightest idea of what will happen when you do.”

“Live with an open heart even if it hurts.”

“If you have a masculine heart, then your heart yearns for -- and must discover -- your deepest consciousness, which is exposed through knowing your deepest life's purpose.”

“Knowing your direction and knowing your purpose is the key to your masculine presence.”

“The core that a man has to offer a woman is where his life is going, and therefore, where he will take her.”

“Unadorned suffering is the bedmate of masculine growth.”
