The Power of 4

 I heard something brilliant tonight: Give a relationship 4 seasons, and then evaluate and design the evolution organically. Meaning, if you really dig someone, assess the situation at the 1 year mark and see what the predominant theme has been. If it's been bliss, stay widdit. If struggle, cut ties and move on. After a year, the relationship has pretty much cut its groove and ain't changin much.

 I love that theory. It takes so much pressure off. And the beauty of it is, you can shorten the 4. Give a new fling 4 dates, then evaluate. Then again, there are those who just jump in sans dinner...so give it 4 weeks. If it passes, give it 4 months. If that flies, then give it 4 seasons.

 We all get that buzz at the beginning of romantic involvement, especially if we're horny. The sex alone could make it great for 4 dates, 4 weeks, 4 months, but at 4 seasons, you've pretty much seen what's what. I like that. 

 I have to say, it's so much more fun to play the games of life when you establish the rules at the outset. Of course, so many rules will be made up along the way, but if you lay some groundwork right after word go, then it just flows so much smoother. And I'm not talking about the "do nots." I'm not interested in someone telling me what I can't do. What I do dig is co-creation. 

1. Let's give one another a whole lot of love.

2. Let's give the relationship a series of check ins...then there's no need to constantly assess, just flow.

3. Let's meditate together (and apart).

4. Let's play full out. 

Essentially, dive into love headfirst and then reflect down the road at a pre-determined time, and everyone be as real as you can be. 

That pretty much applies to every relationship, romantic or otherwise.

That pretty much applies to LIFE.

I love this ride. GAME ON!!!
