Hot Tip #16 - Create Your Own Waterfall

The highlight of our trip to New Zealand last year was the amazing waterfalls we witnessed pouring down from mountainside cliffs into some of the bluest pools we’ve ever seen. As I stared at each of these mesmerizing waterfalls, I couldn’t help but contemplate the magnificent forces of nature that create such a sight. What was once tons of snow and ice atop a mountain melts and becomes a raging torrent of cascading falls.

This reminds me of how similar the forces of human nature are. Sometimes my heart grows bitterly cold toward my husband for some ridiculously petty reason. He didn’t take out the trash like I asked... he forgot to get the oil changed in my car... he committed to playing in a basketball tournament the same weekend as my dear friend’s wedding. I can choose to be bitter, or I can choose a better response. I can put on my big girl panties and forgive him for being as human as I am. When I make a concerted effort to warm up to him in spite of his flaws, I notice my heart begins to thaw out quickly. As I continue to remain soft toward him, my emotional floodgates can soon burst wide open, creating a powerful force that fills me (and him) to overflowing. And that overflowing feeling is exactly what sends my sexual confidence through the roof! When Greg feels loved and affirmed by me, there’s no way he’s not going to feel sexually attracted to me.
