On a weekly basis, for the last 15 or so years, I have had someone ask me some version of:
“Can you just introduce me to a healthy partner / Can you start a matchmaking service so that I can meet the people that follow your work?”
Literally, every week.
Here’s the thing…
We’ve all heard the concept of ‘Give a man a fish and he’ll eat for a day… teach a man to fish and he’ll eat for a lifetime.’
If I were to hand a perfect partner on a silver platter to someone who had yet to be able to attract such a partner from their own efforts, one of two things would most likely happen.
1. They wouldn’t actually be able to hold/receive the partner and it would be a non-starter, or…
2. They would sabotage it and/or they would repel the partner because whatever the thing was in them that had kept them from attracting it is still in the mix.
This is the exact same thing as someone who has yet to achieve financial abundance in their life (from their own efforts) being handed 10 million dollars.
In the vast majority of cases, it would make your life worse for you to be handed such a windfall than if you had learned to truly be with and hold the thing that you tell yourself you want.
The sheer volume of people doing their work across the world (in men’s groups, women’s groups, masterminds, therapy chairs, weekend retreats, the self-help section of your local bookstore, etc.) has never been larger.
Right now is the absolute mecca/pinnacle/peak for self-aware, intentionally loving people.
So if you’re still struggling to meet and attract a partner, then there’s something deeper going on there.
More likely than not, there’s either a mindset block to your believing that such partners exist… or, you simply aren’t getting out there and being truly open enough in real life.
If you have total faith that there are hundreds of wildly suitable partners out there for you (in your age group, in your city, etc.)… and you’re physically getting out there, making your intentions known, and every person close to you knows that you’re looking for a highly aligned significant other, then you really shouldn’t remain single for more than a few months. A year at most.
It really is that simple.
Belief. Openness. Reception. Exposure. Repeat.
Trust me… you don’t need me to play matchmaker for you.
Even if I could hop on a Zoom call with you plus 100 other ridiculously well matched suitors of the gender of your choosing who have all been doing their work for decades… that isn’t the way.
The way is to make your life so viscerally beautiful and so aligned to the essence of your soul that the right person can’t help but be called in, in short order.
And if your mind is still clinging to thoughts of… ‘Right, but where are these people? How do I go about meeting them?’ then you’re still giving your mind too much power.
Where do you find a tree? Where do you find flowers? Where do you find air? ALL AROUND.
Quality men/women are spending time where your best self spends their time.
I could rattle off a handful of types of venues but they would be next to meaningless. What matters is where you spend your time when you’re the happiest. That could be at a yoga studio or it could be at a gun range. It depends completely on you and your personal values.
Where are you the happiest, and which of those venues have the potential to have you cross paths with other people where you could potentially strike up a conversation? Go there. Spend time there. Make eye contact. Strike up a conversation. Make your intentions known. Be open.
You don’t need a handout. You don’t need a short cut. You need to find the thing in you (usually a belief) that is blocking you from meeting them, and work through it all the way.
Make your life a masterpiece.
Love yourself so well that when potential partners see you beaming your essence out of your eyeballs they know exactly how to love you because your aligned energy blares out of you like a radio signal of rainbows.
‘BuT jOrDaN, tHe PeOpLe In mY CiTy SuUuUuCk…’
No excuses. Don’t blame your age range. Don’t blame your city.
If you live in a city that only has 20 people in it, fine… then move somewhere else if you really want to get this handled.
If you blame your age group (they all have Peter Pan syndrome… they’re all narcissists… they’re all divorced and bitter… blah blah blah), then you will get the results you deserve. Worse still, you may remain stuck in a relationship that has no potential because you’ll have convinced yourself that this is all you can ever get (aka settling).
I have supported so many men and women (from people in their 20’s to people in their 80’s) in finding their partners. Keyword: I supported them in finding their partners. Anything else would be an enabling, short-sighted fool’s errand.
No part of me wants anything but you in your most powerful, fully expressed, fully loved self.
And just like I will not be buying my children BMW’s for their 16th birthdays… or leaving them millions of dollars to be collected at the age of 20…
I am not going to hand people partners on a platter. Because it wouldn’t work.
Just like everything in life… it has to have roots, or it has no real chance of sticking.
Dedicated to your fully fledged, self-responsible adult,
