Good morning gentlemen,
Some of you have been on this journey for some time, some are just getting started. Whatever the case may be there is one thing that we need to address in this comm. When you start to make these changes in your life and in your lifestyle, with the new dress style, the new fragrances, the aesthetics of accessories. Things start to happen, you start feeling good about yourself , you feel that new level of confidence, and you notice that people start to notice the change in you. Your family, coworkers, employers, friends, everyone starts to notice you. You find out that when you walking into a room, building, restaurant, people notice you and they are eager to serve or make contact with you.
Now; this is the caution part, with this whether you are married, or in a relationship there are going to be old flames, ex girlfriends, ex wives, yes even strangers that are going to notice and pay attention. DO NOT FALL INTO THIS TRAP of forgetting who you are and who is in your life. The person who stood by you when you were not at your best. Yes it’s going to feel flattering and you are going to feel important and wanted, but do not forget the person who stood by your side when you were not at your best. Because when they see that you are being notice they might start to feel insecure, less attractive, and doubt of you wanting them might begin to set in.
Gentlemen, you are still that same person just a more refined person. Be thankful that they were with you when you were where you were, give them that respect and attention they deserve. Let them know that you changed to be a better person for them and that you appreciate them being by your side on this journey. Here is some things that might help you in conveying your message to them. Don’t get lost in the change but instead, let them know you loved them that much that you felt they deserved better so you became better.
