You can get the love you’ve always wanted. You just have to be committed to creating a better love in your life.

This morning I was reading a book and I came across the following parable:
A story is told of a thief in ancient times who stole a magnificent coat. The coat was made of the finest materials including buttons of silver and gold. When he returned to his friends after selling the coat to a wealthy merchant in the marketplace, his closest friend asked him how much he had sold the coat for.
âA hundred pieces of silver,â was his reply.
âYou mean to tell me you only got a hundred pieces of sliver for that magnificent coat?!â asked his friend.
âIs there a number higher than a hundred?â asked the thief?
If I asked you if you wanted amazing, electric, passionate, lasting, committed, trusting, compassionate, patient, giving, forgiving loveâĤ youâd probably say, âYes! Absolutely!â
Iâll be honest, youâre not unique. Everybody says they want that kind of love. EverybodyâĤ But it probably doesnât describe the love you have.
Why?
Because you settle. You stop practicing. You stop learning, growing, and putting in the effort. Youâre busy. Youâre committed to other things. You become resigned and make excuses like, âWell, this is just my reality. Itâs not going to get better than this.â
I would assert that itâs very likely that your love life is be your â100 silver pieces!â
You donât even think to ask for or want more, because you donât even realize that there is more than what you have!
The beautiful thing about love is that it can ALWAYS get betterâĤ and wanting it to be better is not bad! Itâs a really really good thing!
It doesnât matter how bad or how good your love life is, there is ALWAYS room for more connection, more commitment, more passion, more forgiveness, more understanding, more unity, and more adventure.
The world needs more of these things! Your life, your family, your friendships, your romantic relationshipâĤ they would all benefit from more of these things!
So now the real question is are you willing to do the work to create more of this âbetterâ love in your life?
Are you willing to ask for what you need? Are you willing to ask others what they need to give you what you need? Are you willing to study, ask for help, try something newâĤ and maybe fail, explore unfamiliar territory?
If youâre ready to take the leap and stop settling for 100 silver pieces when thereâs an entire treasury waiting for you to reach out and pick it up, I want you to be a part of Love School.
Love School is 6 weeks of love training. Every Tuesday at 9:00 ET (8:00 CT, 7:00 MT, 6:00 PT) we will have a phone call about how you can create the type of relationship you say you want instead of just talking about it.
You canât get what you want by doing what youâve always done. This course and this community is being created for you because itâs time for you to have more.
I hope you are committed to creating incredible love, and I really hope to see you in class!
