For those who are purely single, as in not dating, engaged, or married, ask yourself – how is life? Given your current situation, it must be pretty great. Some of you may be thinking what is she talking about? I hate it… I wish I were with someone!
If that is your thought, you’re the person I want to talk to.
When we are “ready” to meet someone and perhaps get married, we tend to forget our priorities. Some get so wrapped up in finding “the one” where we forget about doing things that bring happiness and contentment into our lives. Like going back to school, starting a business, becoming a model, etc. These are things we can c-o-n-t-r-o-l. We cannot control when we’ll meet our significant other, right? So why put so much emphasis here? Don’t exacerbate yourself with countless dating apps. Sure, maybe go on a date every now then but don’t get so hung up where it’s ALL you’re doing. There’s way more to life than finding someone.
You have to rely on only yourself for happiness, not someone else. As cliche as this sounds, it is evidently true that when you’re happy, good things will happen to and for you. Always put yourself and your goals first… remember that.
I spent two years in New York. The dating scene is unmatched here and the city is full of singles-ready-to-mingles. I fell into that dating trap and once I dug myself out of it – I could breathe again that fresh air. Taking the advice of one of my roommates at the time, I 100% focused on myself. I went to the gym practically everyday, enrolled in B-school, and focused on my career growth. I reminisce and think to myself how amazing that period in my life was. When I got down to my goal weight and got into my school of choice, guess what happened? Instant karma for my good deeds. I found my now husband. Well, actually he found me 😉 hehe.
And all it took was focusing on myself and nothing else. I’ve seen this happen for many others. So, if you’re reading this and find yourself focusing on things that are beyond your control, rethink your priorities.
