"To be successful in your life and in love - your life and your love life are one and the same thing - you need to get past feelings of insecurity stemming from fears of loneliness, rejection or abandonment. Don't give in to those feelings; they'll hold you back and undermine your courage and integrity when you need them the most."I have insecurities. Everyone does. My biggest fear is being alone - and let's think about it. I think the longest amount of time that I have been single is...maybe 6 months?! I have been in many different types of relationships, but let's face it - I have learned so much from every single one. I have learned what I want, what I don't want, what I need and what I don't need. I've also learned what type of person that I am and the type of person that I want to be for my future "husby."
I also refuse to settle for what's in front of me unless I know that this is "it." I'm not willing to settle for less than what I feel I deserve. I've learned that the long and hard way though. I will not let anyone hold me back from what I choose to do in life. I may not know 100% what I want in life or even recognize "the man of my dreams," but as I continue my path, it will only get me that much closer.
Right?
This is beautiful and so true. Learning about yourself is just as important as learning about the person you are in love with. Sharing can be hard, but it is essential. Each person is so different, we have to share every part of ourselves to truly start to know the other person. Hope you are happy. :-)
ReplyDeleteRight! I know you have definitely learned a lot along the way, and I'm so glad to see you finally be in a place where you are putting yourself and your needs first right now. You know what you want and you aren't going to settle for less, and I think that's GREAT!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jess - I am happy. I am truly happy with myself. Thank you so much for commenting. It makes me smile!
ReplyDeleteChristie - It feels amazing to put myself first before something(someone) else. It's an eye opener for sure.
