The Rhythm & Key Of Love And Relationships

7/14/2019

If you're a close follower of GEQ, you've heard me say before that love is an art. And for systematic people like me, that can be a scary reality to face! So I'm here to say that there's good news: even art forms have underlying 'rules' that we can learn and apply. For example, in music, there's a rhythm and a key, which provide the structure for creative expression to flourish within. Just like art, relationships will never be broken down to pure science - but there are some foundational principles that serve as a framework for every healthy relationship. Knowing and applying them won't guarantee you harmonic relationships, but it will most definitely set the tone.

Getting Married Young

2/16/2019

One of my favorite ‘fun facts’ about myself is that I got married in college when I was just 20 years old. Megan had turned 21 exactly 7 days before our marriage (which proved clutch for our honeymoon in Colorado, as we wouldn’t have been able to rent a car otherwise!). At the time we got married, I had a year left of schooling, and Megan had a full two years left en route to her Master’s degree. 

In our generation, that raises some eyebrows and drops some jaws! After all, before deciding when to get married, there are some other considerations to make, like, you know, who to get married to, and if you even want to be married. For us, getting married, getting married to each other, and getting married young were all pretty simple decisions, despite their gravity, and I’m happy to walk you through our journey. ​

​Danny Silk’s Keep Your Love On straightforwardly answers the question, “How can we have healthy, close relationships in life?” - from our marriages to our friends and family. While Danny leaves some to be desired in the ‘inspirational’ side of things, his central theme is clear: be powerful. ​​

Relationships Are a Two-way Street

We all want rich friendships and relationships in life - we want to love and be loved by those closest to us. But the tricky thing about cultivating love, besides the fact that it can be an abstract goal to begin with, is that we can’t actually control whether or not we accomplish it. It takes two to tango, as they say - and they’re right. We cannot simply will our way into meaningful friendships.

That said, it doesn’t have to be a guessing game. Any good dancer knows how to lead a partner, making it easy to anticipate each step and move in beautiful unison. Similarly, when we pursue rich relationships not just as our own goal, but with both participants in mind, we create an environment that sets us up for success.

Love Is An Art, Not A Science (And How To Be A Better Artist)

2/21/2018

Having graduated with my degree in finance, I'm admittedly much better with numbers than I am with art. Even back when I was a violist in my high school orchestra, I was a functional note-player at best - definitely not an artist. 

Yet, just as we can't 
fit a 3-dimensional shape into a two-dimensional plane, we can't turn love into an equation. It won't work. That's like bad news for my fellow finance majors, but fortunately, there is one easy way to become a better artist, and you can do it today.

Why True Friendship WIll Never Fit Into Your SChedule

We all have competing priorities in life - many things we want to accomplish. In an effort to manage our lives effectively and win in every area,  we develop time-management skills, use a calendar / planner, and discover ways that we can do things more efficiently.

All that is awesome. I love being efficient, and I think getting stuff done is a great feeling. But if one of our goals is to have meaningful friendships in life - people that really know us, trust us, and love us - we'll want to take a dramatically different approach.

Hey there! If you plan on spending some time here, there are some things you should be aware of. First off, there's one thing that I absolutely consider the crux of this entire site, and if you miss this, it will derail your entire pursuit of life. You can read more about it here.  Second, we don't collect any of your personal information - you're free to browse GEQ in peace. You can read the full privacy & disclosure policy here if you like technical jargon. Lastly, if you've ever wondered how websites like this one make any money, the answer, truthfully, is that this website does not make money. So no need to feel like you're getting nickeled and dimed here. We're purpose driven, not profit driven, and I can say that with all integrity. But hypothetically speaking, we could make money. Most basically, through advertisements. When websites get a lot of viewers, companies are willing to pay that website money in order to display ads that viewers will see. Like billboards, but on the internet. Another type of advertisement is called affiliate marketing. Basically, some companies say 'thank you' to blogs for connecting customers to them. This never costs you any money though, and of course, I never recommend anything unless I, you know, actually recommend it.
