Don't forget your crown by Derrick Jaxn

in #book6 years ago

Pg 13 They say hindsight is 20/20, but I believe the concept only applies when youre looking back through a lens of honesty, not through a conversation with your boy whos no better than you and may even be a little worse

Pg 22 If 2 ppl have a healthy level of romance in their relationship after yrs of being together, its because theyre meeting the conditions necessary to fall in love over and over again

Pg 28 good sex is like glue, while bad sex is like a chokehold. when a relationship ends, a woman is either going to feel like her body is still attached to her ex, or she is going to feel like she can finally breathe again

Pg 34 with lower expectations come lower standards men are getting held to, which removes all incentive to change

Pg 46 (volume dating) If the only measuring stick is everyone else, and the door is open to everyone else, then the question of "but what about the next one" never gets answered and it becomes a never-ending merry-go-round

Pg 51 (discipline) the more options, the harder it is...new levels bring new devils, and the devils at the higher levels are probably a lot sexier and plentiful than those at the bottom

Pg 54 If theyre a stranger to themselves or lying to their-self, then what do you think they are going to do to you?

Pg 70 abt 10% of the US population is affected by narcissistic personality disorder, and disproportionately higher rates for men, which represent 70% of narcissists

Pg 76 when you accept yourself, you dont need anyone else to accept you, for you. you wont be easily enticed by someone who claims to love the real you because that love for the real you will already be there

Pg 93 Pessimism never produces the best results. it wires our minds to expect and solely prepare for the worst the world has to offer, which leaves us unprepared to make the best of the good opportunities when they do come

Pg 156 if you wouldnt compliment another woman in person in front of your woman with the same attire and pose shes showing in the picture, then you shouldnt "like" it online either

Pg 185 healthy relationships have existed many centuries longer than Facebook and Instagram. they werent a prerequisite then, and they arent one now, but if your relationship is going to have a presence on these platforms, then rules for engagement should be established within the conversation on the relationships membrane

Pg 189 When a couple is scared, confused or unsure about life in general, pray about it together. Dont hold it in, dont vent to anyone in your friends circles or social media, consult with God
