Habits - Give yourself as many opportunities as possible. Find a good partner.

Give yourself as many opportunities as possible. Find a good partner.

And the same is true with successful mating. The most important decision you’ll make in your 20s and 30s is not where you live, where you work, what industry you’re going to; it’s who you decide to partner with; specifically, who you decide to ultimately have kids with. And I have close friends who are monstrously successful by every external metric, and they don’t have great lives, because they don’t have real partners in their spouses. And I have other friends who struggle economically and it’s hard; but everything’s a little easier for them because they have a real partner; And the way you punch above your weight class, and find a great mate, emotionally, intellectually, from a value standpoint, sexually, is you give yourself as many opportunities as possible. And my story is, I met my partner who I had kids with at the Raleigh Hotel, at the pool at the Raleigh Hotel in South Beach about 17 years ago. It was the middle of the day and I walked in and I think it’s important to do this, I walked in and I saw someone I was really attracted to, and I said I’m going to talk to this person before I leave. And I promised myself. And I went up in the full light of midday sun, when she was sitting with another guy and another girl, and opened and without the aid of alcohol that is not easy, that is not easy. And fast forward, my oldest son’s middle name is Raleigh.
