Is finding love really so hard? Or do we just make it hard?
Finding love is not hard, but sometimes it takes a long time. So if you are single now, and I assume that you are, then you are likely going go be single for awhile.
Here are some advantages of being single:
1. You are independent
Basically you can do what you want when you want. You don’t have to wait, you don’t have to ask, you can just go!
2. You have more time
When you’re single, you don’t have to sit around doing nothing. Want to go to the gym? Want to join the hiking club? Play an instrument? How about watch your favorite video for 10th time? Want to take a course? Learn a new hobby? Who’s stopping you?
3. You don’t have to deal with another’s personal habits
You can sleep without listening to someone’s snoring and hog all the blankets all the time and nobody cares. You don’t have to pick up after anyone but yourself. And you don’t even have to pick up after yourself if you don’t want to. Give your patience a well-deserved break.
4. You can be spontaneous
Be daring! Do what you want when you want to and who cares if you don’t get to dinner until midnight? Do something out of the ordinary, without having to get permission first or calling ahead. This is freedom!
5. You can focus on your career
You can channel your energy into your work. Without a relationship, you have a lot more time. Put in those extra hours and impress your boss, or take on new projects.
6. You are your own boss
Relationships need compromise and you don’t always get your own way. Both people in a relationship have to give something up for the greater good of the relationship. Do what you want and treat yourself more. Selfishness is good for the soul (in small doses).
Don’t stress! That special someone is out there and you can and will find them. It just takes time.
In the meantime, enjoy being single. In fact, I believe that if you can’t be happy being single, you will never be happy with your soulmate! Kind of like rich and poor.
There are lots of poor people who are happy and lots that are unhappy. Same with rich people — lots are happy and lots are unhappy. Now what do you think would happen if we took a poor who was unhappy, and gave them lots of money?
You guessed it! They would probably be happy for a short time, but it wouldn’t last and eventually they would be just as unhappy as they were before.
Ever wonder why that is? Being happy comes from inside of you not outside. OK, you are single — enjoy yourself and that special person will come along before you know it!
