Where Is He When You Need Him?

Has this scenario ever played out in your relationship?
You and your partner are getting along just fine and, with no notice, something changes. He’s no longer attentive to your needs, it feels like he hasn’t asked you how you are in days, and there is a cold wind blowing through your bedroom. Your Martian has suddenly exited the building and he forgot to tell you he was going, or when he would return! Worse yet, you’re not sure if it’s your fault that he has pulled away!


This behavior change often occurs when stress has invaded a relationship and especially when it appears in a man’s life. For most men, the natural reaction to stress is to pull away to deal with the problem. While most women intellectually understand a man’s need to pull away, they tell us that it simply feels awful to them. Before a relationship can feel truly fulfilling to a woman, she needs to learn how to deal with this very necessary male behavior. Women also need to learn to recognize what is legitimate “cave” behavior, and when he is simply trying to avoid conflict or responsibility.

To begin, when a man is upset or stressed, he will automatically stop talking and go to his “cave.” No one else is allowed in that cave, not even his best friends. This doesn’t mean that there is a problem in the relationship; it simply means that he has a problem that he’s trying to solve and he isn’t ready to talk about it, or ask for help. In fact, asking for help is the last thing a man in his cave would do because he is in there trying to solve the problem on his own. Remember, male self-esteem is based in part on his ability to solve problems, and to accomplish the things necessary to be a good man, and partner. Once he has enough time to either come to a solution, or he realizes he needs assistance, he will come out.

If it feels like your partner has pulled away because of stress, the most helpful thing that you can do is to trust that he will return when he’s ready and able. On the other hand, if you feel that there’s a bigger issue related to your relationship that he is avoiding, you need to communicate your feelings to him in a way that he is open to hearing. Men and women have very different communication styles, and women need to learn to speak “their language” if they want to encourage men to talk about something they’re avoiding. How many times have we offered a “helpful” comment to our partner only to have it blow up into a big misunderstanding?

Below are a few pointers for talking to a Martian:

Keep it brief. Before you open up to him, make sure that you are clear on what you want to say.

If you’re not clear, practice before talking to him. You also want to be sure that whomever you practice with will not judge you or your situation; it could cloud your ability to really work through what you need to say.

Stay positive. If you find yourself wanting to get angry, blame him, or argue, then this is the wrong time to talk. That is exactly the time to talk to a girlfriend, coach, or someone you trust to fully express your feelings.

If you’re not sure why your partner has pulled away, or if it’s because of a problem in your relationship, a Mars Venus Coach can help you to clarify what’s really going on. Relationships can be complicated and our coaches can help you to isolate what the true source of conflict is and what you can do to fix the problem.
O

ften the solution is right in front of us and we can’t see it because we’re too close to the problem. What feels like impending doom may be something quite harmless... and, unfortunately, sometimes what seems like a small problem may be hiding a canyon of issues that need to be dealt with.

My friends, It Ain't How Hard You Hit... It's How Hard You Get Hit And Keep Moving Forward!

Hi,

It was about 15 years ago when I watched my first ROCKY movie(Rocky I) on tv and it really inspired me to get up from defeat and to train hard to become a winner in life.

Today, 15 years later, I find myself being inspired once again by Sylvester Stallone's latest Rocky Movie (Rocky Balboa- part 6). In this latest movie, Rocky is aged 60+ and retired from boxing. One day, Rocky decides to come out of retirement and to get back intothe ring. He feels the need to fight because of emotional issues that he needs to resolve within himself. Naturally, he is criticized and made fun of because he is fighting opponents half his age.

His son (a corporate executive in his 30s) is totally against the idea. His career is going no where and he blames his father for casting a big shadow over him. His friends make fun of him because of who his father is.

This is where the 60-year old Rocky gives his son a heart-to-heart reprimand about how he needs to stop blaming and take charge of his life. A saddened Rocky says he remembers when his son could fit in the palm of his hand.

He says that he saw great potential in him and when he first started off in life, he did great. However,at some point, he changed. He lost his way and started blaming other things and people for his own misfortune. Telling him:

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life.

But it ain't about how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. . It's How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done.

Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits, and not point fingers and blame other people. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that!"

This movie had a huge impact on me just like the first few Rocky movies did because what was said was so true in my own life. " Its not how hard you hit, but how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.

Over the years, i found out that in my life, I have met so many people who were much smarter, talented and luckier than me. What made me more successful at the end of the day was my ability to get hit again and again and to keep moving forward. I never gave up. However, I know of many friends who got hit hard by life and could never find the courage to get up again. Instead, they quit dreaming and accepted a mediocre life.

There are so many people i come across thru my coaching programs and i seen this scene happen again and again, and everytime i feel very sad as i can see what is really happening to them. I truly hope to help them to get back up! and always waiting. The journey may be tough but its never lonely! The price to live a mediocre life is too high to pay, you used your whole life to pay for it.

There were many times in my life when I did get hit hard and felt that I had problems I could never solve. There were times when I felt that life was unfair and too painful to live. What kept me going forward was that I knew that no matter how bad, every problem will not last forever. Every recession will end. Dawn always breaks after the darkest hour. It was this belief that allowed me to keep getting up.

* I remember for 5 years, i was teased at, laugh at everyday in school during my pri school days, when my form teacher ( for a straight 5 years, teaching our class all subjects including P.E except chinese) would order me to come to the black board, turn around, lift up my shirt and show the class how fat i was! and after which he will also pinched me and i will everytime somehow end up crying, i didnt knew why, everytime i tell myself not to cry, but its always just happen, was it the pain or wat? come to think of it today, maybe it was the humilation and the hurting of the ego. But its didnt affect me too much and, I kept moving forward

* When everyone looked down on me because I got poor grades in school, I kept moving forward

* When I was framed and charged during my ns police time for absent without a mc, I kept moving forward

* When i was in the tour industry and lost $ 2500 in cash due to my neligence, i kept moving forward

* When i was sue my a company because of resigning without notice, i kept moving forward

* When my business team of 150 people, was left to 1 , myself, i kept moving forward

* When i lost all my business, lost all the trust from the people whom i treated as my family, and could not tell them the truth because i had to protect thier welfare because i was cheated by someone i trusted, i kept moving forward

Whenever we see people achieve great things, it is easy to think that they had less problems and less obstacles than we have. That their brilliance, luck or talent gave them super human abilities to sail through life easily. That everything always goes according to plan.

I can tell you from experience that things NEVER EVER always go according to plan. 80% of the goals you set and plans you make will never go the way you want. Things will screw up and obstacles will appear that will knock you down. Its all part of the game of life.

My good friend Adam khoo too didnt came by because he had a rich dad!
When he got expelled from school at age 9, he kept moving forward
When his parents split up when he was aged 13, he kept moving forward
When his first girlfriend dumped him just before his major exams(and was subsequently dumped by 2 other girls) he kept movingforward
When everyone looked down on him because he got poor grades inschool, he kept moving forward
When his interior design business went bankrupt (Losing $250,000), he kept moving forward
When he lost over $300,000 in the stock market as an early amateur investor, he kept moving forward When his first book, 'I Am Gifted, So Are You!' was rejected byover 9 publishers, he kept moving forward
When only 1 person signed up for my first Patterns of Excellenceprogram 7.5 years ago, and everyone thought that his company would never make it, he kept moving forward
When he lost all the money he made from his event management business because he too was cheated by someone he trusted, he kept moving forward

Have you heard of George Lucas, the creator of Star Wars? On the surface, it seems this guy could do not wrong. He had the genius to create one of the most successful franchises in the world, StarWars that made hundreds of millions of dollars.

Did you know of all the things that went wrong? When George Lucas had the vision of creating the special effects for the battle scenes, the technology did not exist at the time. That didn't stop Lucas. He set up a company, Industrial Light & Magic to invent and create the special effects needed to make Star Wars

.Did it work? Not at first. During production, everything that could have possibly gone wrong went wrong! At the end of sixteen weeks of filming, everyone had every reason to believe it would fail.

The equipment kept breaking down, the actors could not get along and everything that was filmed turned out lousy and had to be discarded . The movie had grossly exceeded the initial budget, it had overrun the filming schedule, the special effects unit could not create the desired special effects and everyone had the opinion that the movie was too childish.

As a result, 20th Century Fox studios (the producers) wanted to cancel the movie and fire Lucas. After Lucas begged for a chance to save the movie, they gave him three days to finish two weeks of work that was lost. It seemed like an impossible task.

What made things worse was that Lucas suffered severe chest pains in the middle of all this and was rushed to hospital for severe stress and exhaustion. Everyone thought that the movie would fail(even some of the actors didn't dare to go for the premier).

But Lucas just wouldn't quit. Lucas hired a triple filming crew,divided the film stage into three sets and directed three scenes concurrently! Within 3 days, he filmed weeks worth of scenes and finished the movie only moments before the movie premier. The rest was history


I am sure you have heard of Honda Motor Corporation, one of the most successful automakers from Japan. Again what made Honda a success was that its founder, Soichiro Honda was able to take the hardest hits and still get up and move forward.

In 1938, while Soichiro was still in school, when he started a workshop to develop the piston ring that he hoped he could sell toToyota. He worked 7 days a week, even sleeping in his workshop at times. When money ran out with no success, he pawned his wife's jewelry for working capital.

Finally, came the day he completed his piston ring and was able to sell it to Toyota. However, he was told that the rings did not meet their standards! Soichiro went back to school for 2 years to improve his invention only to suffer ridicule when the engineers saw his design.

He refused to quit. After two more years of struggle and improvement, he successful won the contract with Toyota. He needed to build a factory to supply Toyota. Unfortunately, his timing was bad. At this time, the Japanese government was gearing up for war and needed all the concrete for the war effort, so he could not get the concrete necessary to build his factory. Instead of giving up, he invented a new concrete-making process that enabled him to build the factory.

With the factory now built,he was ready for production, but again, his luck was bad. His factory was bombed twice by American war planes and steel became unavailable, too.

Instead of giving up, he started collecting surplus gasoline cans discarded by US fighters - "Gifts from President Truman," he called them, which became the new raw materials for his rebuilt manufacturing process. Again, his timing was bad. An earthquake hit and his factory was destroyed the third time.

After the war, an extreme gasoline shortage forced people to walk or use bicycles. Soichiro saw this opportunity and built a tiny engine and attached it to his bicycle. His neighbors wanted one,and although he tried, materials could not be found and he was unable to supply the demand. He also didn't have the money to build another factory to make these 'motorbikes'. He still didn't quit. he wrote letters to 18,000 bicycles shopowners and asked them to pay him in advanced so he could build his factory to sell them his newly invented motorbikes.

Unfortunately,the first models were too bulky to work well, so he continued to develop and adapt, until finally, 'The Super Cub' became a success and took Japan by storm. With success in Japan, Honda began exporting his bicycle engines to Europe and America.

This was how the Honda Motor Corporation was formed. Was that the end of his problems? Nope! As he ran Honda, it went into lots of financial problems. Honda also went near to bankruptcy five times,only to be turned around just in time. Everytime he took a hit,Soichiro would just get up, learn from his mistakes and keep moving forward.

Today, Honda Corporation employs over 100,000 people in the USA and Japan, and is one of the world's largest automobile companies. Honda's excellent engineering and clever marketing even resulted in Honda motorcycles out-selling Triumph and Harley-Davidson in the irrespective home markets.

So, the greater the success you want in life, the bigger the hits you got to be willing to take. There is a price for everything. A Suzuki costs $30,000 and a Ferrari costs $1m. Success too has a price. The price is massive rejection,frustration, and hard work, People never succeed either because they thought that success comes easy or because they are not willing topay the price!

The Secret of Absolute Abundance and Wealth

The difference between the rich and the poor is not in how much money they have, but in the way they talk, the way they act and the way they think. The way you think is what you create in your inner world. The way you talk and act is what you express in your outer world. If you want to be truly wealthy, you must be act the same in your thoughts, speech and actions. Half belief results in half wealth. Poor people talk about what they dont have in every way while rich people talk about how they can have or going to get it in every way.

The elements in your environment affect your consciousness. Everything that you see around you will subconsciously impress upon you the idea of poverty or wealth. The more broken and dilapidated stuff you hold without replacing, the more you will feel lack. When you keep signs of abundance in your environment, your subconscious mind will be constantly impressed with the idea of supply and abundance. By causing yourself to feel abundance, you will perpetuate the conditions of abundance in your reality.

The subconscious impression of abundance creates conditions of abundance. Seeing abundance in one area creates a mental shift and allows you to start seeing and feeling more abundance in your life. Whatever area in your life you have right now that makes you feel rich and powerful, create more of that. Use that area to affect other areas. The key is to get more references of abundance for you to be conscious of so as to impress upon your subconscious mind as much as possible the reality of abundance.

Your actions either create subconscious impressions of wealth or poverty. By choosing to buy the best and quality products for yourself, you are saying that you are worth it, that you are the best. Your subconscious mind will pick up these impressions from your actions and create conditions in your life that resonate with that state of mind. To manifest wealth, you must begin with living as though you are already wealthy. It doesn't mean you overspend, but you simply spend in a way that makes you truly happy.
