What is Valentine’s Day for you?
We all have different perceptions and interpretations about how our world is for us. Valentine’s Day is no exception.
I can remember back on Valentine’s Day in 1987. I was dating a woman at the time and did not want to continue the relationship (keep in mind this was before I had done any work on myself and I was a very immature 26 at the time).
Valentine’s Day meant nothing to me, so I decided to take my girlfriend at the time out to a nice restaurant and break up with her in the middle of dinner. My bad!!! I mean really dude, are you clueless? I won’t go into the ugly details. Suffice it to say that I had no idea at the time how to be compassionate and be in another person’s world.
I learned a valuable lesson in insensitivity that night! The world does not revolve around me!
Ok, my ears are burning!!! I got it and I get it! I was the Valentine’s Day Grinch in 1987!
Since then through all my personal growth and experiences, I have gotten feedback that I am a very sensitive, caring, and compassionate man. And I’ve had some great Valentine’s Days!
