This is no way to find true love
“You can live by chance or choice. It’s really up to you.”~Anonymous
I really do love this quote. I wonder how many people believe they have choices in what happens in their lives.
How many believe life just happens, and they have no control over events? To me, this is a victim mentality that causes people who think they have no influence to continue to create or allow situations in which they can remain victims. This sounds pretty cold-blooded, but it’s true and I’ve personally experienced this at times in my own life. It’s so much easier to blame others for things going awry in our personal lives.
I know how difficult it is to recognize that we create everything that happens to us in our lives, as well as what doesn’t happen to us. In other words, we can create situations where we don’t get what we really want.

I mean I couldn’t get words out of my mouth—I just stared at him and thought you’re such a hunk of deliciousness that I just want to take a bite out of you! Of course that made me think that I must look like chopped liver compared to him. My confidence suddenly took a dive into never-never land, meaning I thought he’d never, never want to ask me out again. (more…)

When I hear a girlfriend or client say she wants to find true love, I dig deeper into what she means by true love.
The phrase means many things to each woman, but what comes up most often is that she wants to be loved unconditionally and accepted for who she is. And she wants it to be lasting. Sometimes she’ll ask whether she should be out looking to find true love or should she be waiting for it to find her. My answer is that it’s both. (more…)
