There Are No Shortcuts to a Great Dating Life

David Wygant  Dating and Attraction Expert

     There is a tough thing that I've realized more and more as I go through my life.  My journey is no different than your journey.  As you guys embark on meeting men or meeting women, you'll realize that it is a process.  It's just a series of things through which you need to work and from which you need to learn. 

     Understanding this is why I've been able to do it, and it is why I am so passionate about this business. I know that without doing the foundational work, you guys will never be truly successful in your dating lives. 

     Do you know how I know that?  I know that because I tried to find shortcuts for things for much of my life.  I've tried to find a shortcut for almost everything I've ever done in life.  I tried to find a shortcut for meeting women; I tried to find shortcuts in business and I tried to find shortcuts in my relationships.  What I learned, and what you need to learn, is that there are no shortcuts.

     Recently, Esquire Magazine interviewed me for a quotation to put into one of their issues. While I won't know until the issue comes out whether it will actually appear in it, I gave them this quotation: Life is a marathon, not a sprint. Keep your pace slow, and eventually you will find yourself in front of the right path. 

     It's unbelievable how many people - and no doubt how many of you - are all about shortcuts.  You put time limits on everything.  You want one certain thing to happen within one month, when in reality it may take for four or five months because there are lessons to be learned along the way. 

     Being willing to let things take the time needed to really learn what you need to get there is, to me, about being authentic.  It's being authentic in your life and authentic in who you are.  It's not looking for the shortcut.  I won't sell you a shortcut.  I will never sell you a shortcut because there are no shortcuts in life. 

     For any of you who approach life thinking there are shortcuts, I say go ahead and spend your money and time on those shortcuts.  What will happen, though, is that you will keep spending and wasting money until you finally realize you have to be authentic and real to get what you really want.  The real "shortcut" is to not be detoured by any so-called shortcut in the first place.

All the power to you.
