Daniel has very specific classes that will help you create a deeper connection with the people around you.

Daniel wants you to have the happiest life imaginable. And the way he ensures that is by teaching you all the ways you can heal your relationships to create a sense of security, love and acceptance in your life.
If you want to feel like you belong, the best way to do that is to take these classes to heart. These classes are definitely not set in stone and you might want to adapt some of them to match your personality a bit better - because sometimes your quirks are exactly what people love about you - Which is why the first lesson is:
You can’t have an open and honest relationship if you aren’t being yourself. WHen you show up authentically you are allowing yourself to trust your own intuition. You are allowing your feelings to guide you and you aren’t afraid of being judged, because you believe in yourself. And the more authentically you show up, the more authentic the other person will allow themselves to be.
This is the go-to advice every relationship expert has used since the dawn of couples therapy - but it’s true! All you’re going t achieve with your ego is a power struggle. Your ego should never be your source of energy for a relationship. But that doesn’t mean your ego doesn’t have a role to lay in a good relationship. Your ego is what inspires you to be better. So if you ever feel your ego being a bit bruised try to think of ways you can improve yourself to avoid it in future - instead of trying to drag the other person down.
We all get hurt. If you haven’t been hurt in love you haven’t loved. And this can make a lot of us cling to fear. So instead of allowing a relationship to bloom naturally you keep expecting the worst. The sad fact is that if you expect the worst, that’s exactly what you’re going to get. But allowing love to flow doesn’t mean rushing into things either.
You need to give it time. You need to build a rapport with the person. You need to create meaning over time. That’s the true key to a good relationship - spending the time to really get to know each other. And that doesn’t mean talking about your feelings all day. It means going out into the world and experiencing things together. Building memories and inventing dreams. That’s where real connection is built. Talking about feelings just adds to that foundation. But if there is no foundation to build on, the relationship will soon fall apart.
Our world is very rushed and the courting protocol has changed dramatically over the last century. We rush things too easily. We want a quick ego boost, so we grab onto the next best thing - the shiny new thing that looks textbook perfect. But what we’re actually doing is judging a book by its cover. To discover true friendship and happiness you need to go through the trouble of reading every page. That’s how you really get to know a person. That’s how you form an unbreakable bond.
