Welcome to Instructorville, population me! October 26, 2006

Posted by Niels in : Other , trackback


After a brief but relaxing respite in California, I’m off to New York again. This weekend is another Art of Attraction workshop, and I will be making my debut as a full-fledged instructor!

This means several things. Most importantly, I get paid. It’s a pittance, but I guess I’m not technically unemployed anymore. More like irregularly employed. And I get to actually lead and teach exercises. I’m a little nervous, but mostly really excited.

I look back on how far I’ve come and can hardly believe it. A year ago, I didn’t even have a platonic friend I could go dancing with. And now I’m giving advice to guys in Australia and flying to New York to teach relationship skills. Most importantly, I’m genuinely happy.

It’s interesting, there are studies where people of all walks of life are asked how happy they are. It turns out that even things like winning the lottery don’t really change people’s levels of happiness. Sure, happiness goes up for a little while, but then it returns to its previous levels, despite the millions of dollars in the bank. However, the one thing that does appear to actually make people happier is sharing their life with someone special. Nowadays, all my relationships, with friends, with family, with girls, are stronger than I ever imagined possible. And I’m happier than ever.

Starting a conversation is easy - just walk up and say, “Hey, how’s it going?” The tricky part is keeping the conversation fun and playful, and the key to that is lighthearted teasing. Call girls dorks and brats. Poke them in the tummy. Smile. A lot.
