What does the eye of the Tiger, Lion or Leopard have in common with romance?
I’m fascinated with “Big Cats.” Most of the time, they’re just hanging out with the pride, resting on tree limbs, lapping water to quinch their thirst. Lions affectionately exchange face-rubs with pride-mates. Tigers casually seek liquid relief from the muggy Indian heat. Solitary Leopards nonchalantly survey the savannah from their treetop perch.
But the eye of the Tiger changes when hunting. They zero in on their target. Actions become very deliberate. And when the chase begins, they don’t allow other animals, grass or terrain to interfere with their intense concentration. The eyes of the Tiger and all other senses are totally focused on their target.
What a contrast with how some approach their relationship. Especially when it comes to romancing their partner. Their attitude is:
- If it happens, it happens.
- Something important came up and I can’t.
- Guess I should romance my partner, but….
- It’s not t-h-a-t important.
In contrast, others approach romance with concentration like the
Eye of the Tiger.
They make time to learn how best to romance their partner.
They deliberately seek ways to romance their partner.
They don’t allow excuses to impede them from finding ways to create Romantic Moments.
These people know there will always be “reasons” (a.k.a. excuses) not to romance. But excuses undermine their relationship. And if they give these reasons priority, romance will slowly evaporate from their relationship. So they focus on finding ways to romance their partner. Regularly search for Romantic Moments ideas they can create. And don’t let distractions to hinder their pursuit of an extraordinary relationship. I encourage you to keep your senses open to Romantic Moment ideas. Don’t let distractions interfere with building connection. And focus on ways to keep Romance Alive with the eye of the Tiger.
