My name is Danny Kim and I AM A HONEST LOVING FULFILLING MAN.
As the new year comes in, I have been taking time to reflect. Reflect on where I am now, and what I want to step into.
My big desire and this is a big one for me, is to feel the full range of me, and give myself the permission for embodiment.
“Turn your expectations into appreciation and your whole life changes.” says Mr.Tony Robbins. What a mind and heart shifting concept once you can connect to the deeper meaning of it.
As (hopefully) my last winter break in college nears its close, I thought it’d be nice to take some time to reflect on what I’ve learned over the past few years — to make sense of my experiences so that I can learn not to repeat the same mistakes of the past, so that I can move forward into this year and do more than ever before.

Believe me, when an alpha guy chooses to be in love with a woman, it’s total and nothing can shake him from it. It also works the other way, when he does not want to be in love nothing can convince him to change his mind. It’s how his particular narcissism works.

I’m SO glad you mention Esther Perel and that TED talk, Chris Pearson. It’s also in line with Kim Miller’s response. Perel does an archeological dig into marriage/partnership and excavates layers of contradictions around what we expect the “other half” to provide. I agree that the emotional intelligence we women want from our dudes — and the stability they need from us — is only half the story.
That’s right, you read that correctly.

Isn’t that how we all let go?"By towing each shred of our memory into a basket, only to tuck it in the darkest corner of the attic in our mind.
We shove it away so well that, if there comes a time again tomorrow, where we want to remember it all, we won’t find anything to."
This lovely poem is more than just content. Even though “we long for fairy-tales in a world full of nightmares”; I still believe we can find our ‘soul’ mates. There is someone for everyone. When we least expect it.

I like to think that true love does not exist.
The goal is to become a full aware being. To do this you must understand the question, Who Am I.
To do this you must let go of the ego. When you do, you can communicate and appreciate others better.
