There's little more attractive, fantastic, and satisfying than being around women who have something awaken inside them - a journey, a calling, an escapade. I have been pretty fortunate to have spent a lot of time with strong women - even raised by two great ones who I would do just about anything for - women who've got their own dreams regardless of all of the things they are fed mentally by our society, battle anyway. They are entirely unique in a world that's trying it's best to coach them to be like everything and everybody else. How amazing is that? Above all else, women act as moment by moment integrity checkers for men, oracles even, and if you can surround yourself with a group of powerful girls, you will grow beyond belief, have your head lovingly cut off when you aren't being the best man you really could be, and you'll experience life itself and its massive selection of experiences. Like the sea they change and shift by the second, feelings and thoughts swarm...let that help you to find your solidity. They'll test you with their darkest moods and feelings - only to have them feel that you're immovable, the mountain, always to be there no matter what and firm in your purpose. These are gifts, not hinderances. These relationships create you, but if you deflate - they'll destroy you. Seek them out - don't be threatened, women can move mountains. They are to seriously be cherished.
The dynamics of my life in moving with female energy has changed nearly 180 degrees for plenty of reasons. But oh how I have shifted inside. Across the course of my life, I highly identified with female energy because I had two amazing and very strong and potent women in my life - my sister and my mom - who are deeply driven and accomplished in what they do. I even had a female dog who was my best friend when I was little and tended to hit it off with girls better than I did with men. I took the best from my amazing dad too, similarly as driven, loving inventive and motivated and became a product of my environment and nurturing.
As I went through the chaos of my younger years, I was "all that changes and shifts. " My moods, my attitudes, my uncontrollable emotions and thoughts...I have described it many times...were like a tornado within me that declined to cease. Even if it did stop briefly, back up it would storm again. Mix that with lacking deep purpose after my baseball career stopped and a big mess was made. So I crashed like the raging ocean for a while...and eventually found my way to writing.
But recently this dynamic shifted in a big way as the bubbling up of my purpose came to me and I started to read, understand, and practice what strong masculine energy essentially was. This has not just only opened up my world, but has opened up the worlds of the men who live around me. There's an idea that has entered into my mind which has stuck with me for months now, and it's the idea of the mountain. That solidity - identifying with what does not and will never change in this world. The undoubtable stableness of being completely grounded in your position, a mirror to life itself, empty and prepared to express your deepest passions and purpose - which is the expression of love itself.
When a man ultimately begins to understand this concept, I am able to tell you...mountains don't just move in front of him...he becomes the mountain. Whatever might happen around him swirls and yet he is completely calm, comfortable, and continues to be rooted in his deepest wish. To find your purpose is a great deal more than just what you do for work - it should be a direct leader in your life and will color your existing relationships your friendships, your family dynamics, and how you show up on the planet. It absolutely did for me. As quickly as this hit - bloom - unfold - open - closing the chasm - joy - truth - integrity - tenacity through anything.
Women are similar to the ocean. They shift, change, and adjust by the second. In just a second, a peaceful beautiful ocean can change into a sequence of rogue waves. As a man, you are there in your small ship wondering how on earth you're going to climb up that wave before it crests. Women are life itself. They offer, literally, what it suggests to be alive. Why do you actually think they call it Mother Nature? Everything that shifts around you is moving energy, a form of energy that's uniquely feminine and can be accessed. But those waves for men that don't understand what it really means to be the captain of their ship can be rocked directly out of the their little boat - I can not tell you how often I have been tossed out of my ship or bailed before the wave hit. But give a open man a purpose, and that wave actually starts to seem like fun. Additionally, that wave can inspire your most important purpose.
This is the part that has changed my life fully.
Each day I sit comfortable down and write, I am completely driven by a kind of energy that is very different from anything that I have experienced before. I sit in my small chair outside on my porch...close my eyes, and breathe as deep deep down into my stomach as I can. I find that density - that solidity - that love - that emptiness. There's this type of energy that if you focus on it deep enough, you will find a low frequency lull...that is surprisingly deep and dynamic. A wavelength that has existed far before everyone and one that willbe here forever after. I'll feel it circulate through me sometimes when I am on the mat. Then, I open and observe the things that are going on around me or start to run through the days events - tapping into all of the things that changed - and get galvanized by all of that energy. That energy runs straight through my writing - and yet, all at the same time, I am here, completely grounded in my place - living as if I was already dead.
Fear, in my heart, disappears.
There I solidly am grounded, in my deepest purpose, absolutely and definitely inspired by the women around me and that feminine energy...creating, loving intensely and open to all doubt. It's this dynamic, the one between the male and the female - and my using both - that has taught me more than anything else. This has opened me up, modified my friendships and helped me continue to discover parts of myself that I never knew existed. Floods of people have showed up in my life and I am able to see all of it morphing, only to know that it will all change and pass...and that is wonderfully O.K.
