“Your task is not to seek for love,
but merely to seek and find
all the barriers within yourself
that you have built against it.”
― Rumi
Ouch!
I’m the girl who has always sought love.
I chased Brian Patterson under the piano at his 5th birthday party.
I was four.
And today as a coach, I see that behind every tale of financial woe is the story of a broken heart… a deficit of love. (more…)
I’ve been getting pretty annoyed with this whole campaign to aim low in love. If you aim for less than you want, you just might get it, and that’s not a good thing…
There’s nothing more attractive to what you want, especially in realms of romance and love, than feeling good about yourself. And nothing kills your sense of self worth faster than settling for what doesn’t make you happy.
There’s a nasty little trend going around the love advice community, telling women (and men) that they should lower their standards, that they’re wrong to hold out for that special someone they admire, respect, and desire. Can you imagine? In fact there’s a best selling book out there that argues women should settle for whoever will take them. This is a perfect formula for misery. (No wonder there are so many unhappy marriages out there!)
