Newsletter

"It's been a long time. I shouldn't have left you..."

I must offer you, my audience, a sincere apology for not getting you guys the great newsletter you would expect from Clifton Brantley. All I can say is that I am a real human being doing real life on the same planet as you. But because 'there is a balm in Gilead,' I'm back!!

What To Expect

You can expect for me to consistently create valuable content that is focused on helping you do love and life better. God put me here to serve and you are apart of the people he has a ssigned to me. I take that seriously. 

I will be writing more frequently so there may be weeks where you get more than one newsletter that week. You will get at least one a week.

Thank you for understanding...

Speaking Of 'Understanding'

If there is one thing that couples under estimate the most, it is the importance of understanding. You cannot have an authentic relationship without understanding. Truth is, most couples have no clue that their only issue is misunderstanding and if they would fix that then everything else would self correct.

Why do I say that "understanding" is so important? Because, if we do not understand each other then how can we truly experience each other? And if we do not know that we are experiencing 'our interpretation of who they are' rather than 'who they actually are,' what would make us seek to understand? So, there is no way for the relationship to win. Most people divorce because they don't understand each other and they don't know that that don't understand each other.

If you've worked with me then you've probably heard me talk about the fact that you do not see what you think you see, and you do not know what you think you know. 

It's A Different World

You are your partner live in two different worlds. You have never lived in the same world and you never will. The truth is, the only place your world exists is in your mind. It exists nowhere else on the planet. Your partner, and every other human being is the same. Your worlds are as similar and different as your fingerprints.

Your world is made up of your experiences, your beliefs, your fears, etc. No one else on the entire planet can experience what you experience, which means no one else could ever live in the same world.

So then, the number one task of anyone in an intimate relationship is to learn about the other person's world! Otherwise, you will always be like a fish judging a girafe by how long it can breathe underwater. 

Make 'understanding' a top priority in your relationship. Don't be mad at your partner when you don't even understand their world.
