What Do Gay Men Know About A Happy Successful Life?

Do any of these questions speak to what gets in your way?

Are you successful in your career yet your personal relationships are a mess?
Are you “smarter then the average bear” yet you don’t get credit and are often overlooked by your Supervisors?
Are you easily upset by other people’s callous remarks and find their slights difficult to let go of?
Are you having trouble taking action to get what you want in your life because you don’t believe you are good enough?
Are alcohol, drugs, pornography or casual sexual encounters starting to replace meaningful relationships?
Are you spending a lot of time on gay hook-up sites like Grindr and letting other parts of your life fall apart?
Does Loving, Intimate Gay Sex elude you?
Are you afraid you might be getting depressed or are you stressed out?

If any of the above feels like you, consider this:

Gay men live in a heterosexual world but ARE NOT doomed to be unhappy in it.
Are you ready to lead a happy life, not just a professionally successful life?
Gay pain is the pain of growing up gay in a straight world. But by claiming your right to be gay and living it fully you can be happy with yourself and your relationships!

Do you want to live your life with balance, calm, serenity and patience? If so, what’s stopping you?

In a CNTV Interview I was asked about my work with gay men:

Here’s Why I Can Help:

In my life I’ve struggled with many of these same issues and learned to overcome them. My own life story starts growing up in a small town in South Dakota:

a gay child living in a world where there was no word and no role models for people like me and what I felt.
feeling alone, misunderstood and unimportant.
pretending to be what the adults in my life wanted me to be, “straight-acting,” in order to get their approval and protection.

all leading to self-hatred, drinking, partying, and an eventual marriage that couldn’t last; all in an effort to try (and continually fail) to fit in and not feel the pain of my exclusion from the dominant culture of heterosexual men and women. I was a classic under-achiever.

Are you successful in your work but still feel like a failure in life?

I eventually switched from underachieving to overachieving, graduating from business school Beta Gamma Sigma and with high honors. From there I was off to corporate america where I continued to excel. Funny thing was that none of it made me feel successful or happy.

I eventually started seeing a therapist who helped me understand who I really am, a gay man who is loveable and capable of loving. This personal journey eventually led me to graduate school where I studied psychology, specializing in LGBT issues and adult survivors of childhood trauma. I also started a ten year study of Buddhist philosophy and mind training.

There are so many reasons why you might not want to reach out for help:

I can/should do it myself. Truth is, human beings are tribal animals. All of our problems are created by failures in our relationships. So our solutions come from success in relationships. Counseling and Coaching work when they are successful relationships.
I can’t afford it. How do you know? The cost of not getting help may be even more expensive! Modern successful people use coaches and counselors to stay successful. It’s a gift to yourself.
Nobody I know does coaching or therapy. Want to bet? Successful people know when to ask for help. They focus on what they are good at and get help with the parts they are not good at.
Counseling is only for crazy people. Again, not so. For all of the reasons above. Healthy people stay healthy by getting help when they need it.
