Words from Mark:
“Getting to know your own shit is the greatest thing ever – knowing, appreciating, and getting into it.”
“I tell people don’t seek advice from people who are going to be directly impacted by your choices, because they’ll give you advice based on how they might be impacted. It takes a lot for a human to separate themselves consciously from an impact, because selfishly we want to protect ourselves.”
“Give yourself permission to being human and to recognize that self worth is an ongoing every-moving target.”
“If you can face the shame, then you are literally facing the opportunity to become a freakin’ Jedi of that thing. And then you’ll be able to love deeper and live more expansively than you ever have. Because I think what happens is that we hit these upper limits.”
“Your growth is that you should never abandon yourself for a relationship.”
“You can learn and learn and learn and read books and do all those things. Or you can actually start to apply these things. True change really comes when you actually do something different. And I find as humans we get so addicted to the learning, but we’re not changing the results or the outcomes in your life.”
“Humans have always been superficial, it’s just that Tinder allows you to see a magnifying glass to the fact that we swipe left and right. But when you’re walking down the street, you’re swiping left and right all the time.”
“We derive our relationship from being chosen not recognizing that when you’re dating or in a relationship, you’re choosing. You get to choose too. You’re not just waiting for someone to choose you, but most people date and operate in their partner selection phase.”“In that shame and in that emotion of what could feel like unworthiness, is actually where all of the wisdom is.”
