Preheader: and what to expect from my emails

Dropping in again, %user.name_f%

I love the feeling I get when I choose connection over conflict. But changing the patterns in our relationships can be undeniably hard sometimes. 

When I see a piece of paper on the floor my wife dropped, I get petty. I have been known to step over a piece of paper at least 6 times before I pick it up and put it in the trash. 

And sometimes I want to pick a fight over it. 

Ugh. 

You see, when we start trying to improve our relationships, we are embarking on a journey to rewire our brains. 

But our brains look for the easy route - the familiar one they know. 

The one that picks the fight.

Here at the NVC Academy, we get it — every single one of the team and our thousands of students, has embarked on their own journey to rewire their brain. 🧠🧠🧠 

 And we've noticed it takes a certain something for a person to be willing to do this. 

 I have a theory about those that choose this path. My theory goes like this:

✨We are a special bunch. There’s no doubt about it.
✨We are willing to give up being right, to be happy.
✨Our dreams consist of deep connection, not winning the fight.
✨And we firmly believe that when we are in our final moments of life, our measure of a life well lived will be how well we loved. 

In the words of Cathy Maxwell, from her book Four Dukes and a Devil,

"Because in the end, the measure of a well-lived life is not titles or riches. It's not even measured by the people we please, especially at the cost of our own souls. No, the true measure of a well-lived life is how well we love…and how well we are loved in return."

I consider it my calling to make sure the characteristics of compassionate souls are brought to life and continuously nurtured.
