How To Find Your True Love (Without Even Looking)

“To get where you want to go, you’re going to have to rewrite the script of your life and make yourself the star. And, you have to define who you want to be your leading man. Then you’ll know exactly who you are and what you’re looking for.” – Dr. Phil McGraw, Love Smart: Find the One You Want – Fix The One You Got

Life can be lonely, and many people are still looking for their true love. When we have to go through life alone without a trusted partner at our sides, life seems dark and gloomy. We may wonder what we are lacking in ourselves that would make us attractive to a potential partner. This feeling of inadequacy makes us feel like we will never find true love.

Luckily, there are ways to change your perspective and make you more open to finding love. Follow our 7 tips and learn how to find true love without sacrificing what makes you unique.

7 Ways to Find Lasting Love and Partnership Without Losing Yourself

1. Know Yourself

Rather than pushing yourself to change, true love can be found when you look within yourself. If you don’t know what you want out of life, you won’t be able to find the right partner. Spend time truly getting to know yourself. This may take some soul searching. When you have an authentic relationship with yourself, you will be able to look for love without compromising yourself.

2. Know What You Want

Sit down and make a list of the qualities you want in a partner. Rather than blindly following this list in an attempt to find a new partner, cultivate these qualities in yourself. If you want a partner who is artistic and musical, for example, get out and take a class or practice an instrument. You may meet someone special. Like attracts like, and you will have a much easier time finding a partner if you have something in common with them.

3. Let Go of Self-Criticism

If you have been looking for a life partner for a long time, it’s natural that you might feel inadequate. Try to let go of this feeling. Stop berating yourself for being alone. Stop comparing yourself to people who have “perfect lives.” Negative self-talk is damaging.

If you find yourself engaging in self-criticism, stop and think about whether you would say those things to a friend in your situation. If you wouldn’t say them to a friend, don’t say them to yourself. Negativity will make you less attractive to a potential partner.

4. Live Authentically

Stop trying to cover up the truth about yourself. Live according to your own principles. Resist the urge to edit yourself to make yourself more attractive. When you meet a partner, you will want to be your true self. If you are not living authentically, you may attract the wrong person for you.

5. Be Open

It won’t be possible to find true love unless you are open to new experiences. Put yourself out there. Taking risks may bring you closer to your true love.

6. Be Selective

If you meet someone special, move with caution. New relationships are always exciting and can cause us to lose perspective on ourselves. Don’t try to submerge yourself in your partner. Trying to mold yourself to what you think he or she wants will only get you into trouble down the road. True love develops over time; it isn’t instantaneous like attraction and infatuation. Live with the relationship for a while and decide whether you have the potential for lasting love.

7. Stop Looking

When we spend too much time focused on the desire to find a partner, we lose touch with what is really important in life. Step back from learning how to find true love and become confident in yourself. When you stop trying to appeal to an imaginary partner, life may step in and offer you a chance at partnership.

Final Thoughts

Finding love means sharing your authentic self with the world. By connecting with your own needs and desires, you will be better able to attract the right partner for you.

Let go of self-criticism. Stop editing yourself to better fit in with a new partner. If you are truly yourself, you will attract the right person. Rather than searching for love with a list of qualifications in hand, work on these qualities in yourself. If you are open to new experiences, you will have a much easier time finding a life partner.

How to Move On And Let Go Peacefully

Sometimes in life we have to learn to let go of a relationship, situation or position we enjoyed but which is no longer available to us. In other cases, we may have to learn to let go of a deeply painful emotion and heal from the inside out.

In order to move into and accept the new situation with grace, we must let go of the old one. No matter what you need to let go of or move on from, here are 5 tips to how to move on in peace.

Tips on how to let go and move on peacefully

let things go

Let yourself feel

The end of anything generally casts us into the unknown and for most of us, the unknown can be downright scary. For that reason, while the thing that is ending might actually be a bad relationship or horrible job that made us miserable, we can still fight against losing it simply because it is familiar. It is a strange irony that even the most abusive relationships can feel “safe” in their own way, simply because they are familiar.

This need to let go of what is comfortable and familiar can be scary, which can actually cause feelings of anger and even rage. Know that it is okay to feel these things. Keep in mind, acting on your anger or rage is different from feeling it. While acting on it may in many cases be highly unacceptable, feeling it is not. Just allowing yourself to feel what you feel is an important part of almost any healing process.

Take ownership of your part

Every relationship involves at least two parties and in every type of relationship, both parties will make mistakes. No matter how many mistakes the other person or entity made, you made some too. One of the biggest tips to move on is to acknowledge what you did wrong in the relationship or situation. You cannot fix other people, you can only fix yourself. You can’t change the behaviors of other people, but you can change your own. Owning what you did wrong in the relationship or situation will help you not only move on, but also to not be in the same situation again.

Acknowledge what the other party did wrong

While it is important to own your own part in the situation, it is also important to acknowledge the mistakes of others as well. Often, people will do one or the other by assigning blame to others while not taking ownership of their own, or take all the responsibility on themselves without acknowledging the faults, failures or mistakes of the other party. Part of learning how to move on is learning how to honestly assess and acknowledge the mistakes made on both sides of the relationship.

Forgive yourself and others

Learning to forgive is an important part of learning how to move on. Forgiveness is the means by which we let go of old baggage that can not only weigh us down, but have a significant impact on our health. According to the Mayo clinic, just a few of the many health benefits of forgiveness include:

  • Lower blood pressure
  • A stronger immune system
  • Improved heart health

how to move on

Learn how to live with empty space

Generally, when one chapter of our life ends, it leaves an empty space in its wake. We are often so desperate to fill this space we can simply move from one bad situation right into another. Part of learning how to move on is learning how to move on to a better place than the one we just vacated. If we simply jump right from one situation into another, we generally don’t have time to make the changes necessary to make the next situation or relationship better than out last one. Sometimes, we need to just learn how to let a space be empty for a bit before trying to fill it.

Learning how to let go and how to move on is a lifelong process. Change in inevitable and not all relationships are meant to last a lifetime – and thank goodness for that! Letting go of a painful situation or relationship, however, can sometimes be just as difficult as letting go of a good one. Letting go of a difficult relationship can sometimes feel like defeat and bring about feelings of failure.

However, letting go of a good relationship can be just as hard as it can make us feel like we are somehow not worthy of good things. No matter how you slice it, moving on and letting go are just difficult things to do. Like everything else in life, however, more often we practice letting go and moving on with grace, the better we get at it.

4 Simple things I Did to Overcome my Self Doubt

Self-doubt is a crippling, self-defeating disease that creeps in unnoticed, takes up residence without asking, and can devastate your entire life.

But it doesn’t have to. Even though millions of people suffer every day from some form of self-doubt (almost 85% of Americans, according to a recent statistic), millions more crawl out from underneath its shadow and establish a life that proves to everyone that victory is possible. All we have to do is fight. Here are a few things I did to do exactly that.

1. React Quickly

One of the things that helped me the most when I started turning in my battle against self-doubt was to recognize when the feelings were beginning to creep in and put a stop to it. I’ve struggled with it for most of my adult life (beginning roughly in high school), so I was familiar with the symptoms: despair, uncertainty, inferiority, feeling of being an imposter, etc.

The difference between me now and me 15 years ago is that now I was willing to stop it in its tracks. To be sure, resisting self-doubt is much harder than simply letting it wash over you. It’s a strangely comforting feeling to feel like you’re not good enough, almost like low expectations meets a self-fulfilling prophecy.

But you know what feels even better? The ability to stare down your insecurities and prove to yourself (and to everyone else) that they won’t beat you. That’s what life’s about. But in order to do that, you have to stop them before they begin to take hold of your life, and that includes saying no right at the outset.

2. Talk to Others

Whenever I was struggling with self-doubt, the last thing I wanted was to open up and talk to someone about it. It almost felt as if by bringing it up, I was verifying it as factual – or, even worse, that other people would verify it for me. Either way, that couldn’t happen. So I bottled it up and kept it locked deep inside me.

However, that first time I opened up was scary. I stuttered, my hands started to get clammy, and I almost couldn’t get the words out. But once I did, they came full force, like a tidal wave of emotions pouring over my friend.

And then a funny thing happened. Rather than stiffen up and leave the room, he gave me a hug that lasted about ten seconds but felt like a lot longer. Then, he looked me in the eye and told me that he struggles with it too. It was an incredibly cathartic moment, and one that I am still thankful took place. Now, not only do I have a friend that I can confide in, I have an accountability partner that I can turn to whenever I need.

3. Keep a Journal

You’d be surprised how much your mind plays tricks on you. Since the origination of self-doubt begins in the mind, it can be hard to put your thoughts down on paper, but once you do, you’ll be surprised at the things you used to doubt yourself on.

For instance, looking back at my journals from college, it’s almost humorous to see what I doubted myself on: grades, relationships, internships, etc. Now, as a moderately-successful 29-year-old, the topics may have changed but the feeling of doubt remains. What I learn from those journals is one simple fact: no matter what, I’ll be fine.

doubt

It’s a lesson I needed to remind myself then, and it’s a lesson I still remind myself now. Look back on your success over past worries and it’ll give you the confidence that you need today to overcome doubt.

4. Seize the Growth

To progress in life, you have to be willing to take chances. Whether that means overcoming a physical hurdle or, as in this case, a mental hurdle like self doubt, the only way forward is right through the thick of things.

However, what I realized is that defeating the small times of doubt gave me confidence to grow even higher. Then I conquered the next biggest hill, then the next biggest, then the next, until I eventually reached a position where I believed I could do anything. Even if I didn’t always feel like I could, I at least knew – intellectually speaking – that I was more than able.

I love what Bertrand Russell had to say about doubt: “The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.” If you’re feeling doubtful about your own abilities, according to Russell, it’s only because you’re more aware of the dangers and your own capabilities. Take heart in knowing that you’re special in that regard, but don’t let it dominate your life.

To overcome doubt, you don’t need to have a fancy guru to guide you through a twelve-step program; all you have to do is decide and act. Once you make the decision that you won’t let self doubt rule your life anymore, you’ll start living.

21 Things Women Secretly Want Their Partner To Do

Both women and men have reported that a relationship isn’t always a bed of roses. Particularly if you don’t consider yourself to be a very romantic person. It can be difficult to know what your partner wants and expects when it comes to things like intimacy and emotional connection. Guessing can feel stressful, but asking her for instructions on how to be more romantic can kind of defeat the purpose a bit.

It is helpful to know, for starters, that while men and women possess the same range of emotions, they express them differently in many ways. So being thoughtful might mean something very different to men than it does to women.

NOTE: If you want to discover the behaviors men secretly desire, check out our separate article on the topic.

Here are 21 things women secretly want that can help create a better connection between you and her:

1. Have a conversation about something that matters to her.
Even if it’s not something that necessarily matters to you.

2. Share a romantic memory you have of her, for no special reason.
It will remind her of your history together while letting her know you are thinking of her in the present.

3. WRITE her a love note or letter.
The little bit of extra effort to make your words tangible can help your women feel loved.

4. Remember important couple dates.
Forgotten anniversaries and special occasions can lead to hurt feelings. Make a list if you have to.

5. Give her a special date at home.
Light some candles. Make dinner. Open a bottle of wine. You don’t have to go to a five star restaurant to make an evening exciting.

6. Offer to dance with her every once in a while.
Even if you are a terrible dancer, remember that slow dancing can be as simple as holding her and swaying.

7. Just be there when she is upset.
Sometimes women really just need a shoulder to cry on and a hand to hold. That can do more than words.

8. Communicate with her randomly when you are thinking about her.
Even a text just to tell your hopeless romantic she was on your mind can be enough to stir up some butterflies.

9. Be the one to initiate a thoughtful discussion.
Don’t leave communication completely up to women. Put some effort into getting to know her, even if you have been together for a long time.

10. Support her ambitions, even if they are as hopelessly romantic as she is.
Believing in her dreams, even when they seem like a long shot, will help her feel confident. And that confidence may just surprise you.

11. Hide tokens of affection for her to find later.
Something as easy and simple as a note stuck in a planner can do wonders for the heart of a hopeless romantic.

12. Make the effort to plan an event.
Whether it is a date with a reservation or a whole planned surprise weekend, the planning shows effort.

13. Get away for some quality time, just the two of you.
Even if it just means a few hours in a room with no kids or work allowed. Women need undivided attention sometimes.

14. Be honest about how you are feeling when she asks you.
No one likes to play emotional guessing games. Not even women.

15. Amp up the affection.
Contact comfort and loving words are easy ways to help your hopeless romantic know how much you like being around her.

relationship quote

16. Send or suggest music to her that is romantic or sensual.
Music has a unique effect on emotion. You can help stir up the right ones with a love song.

17. Make sure she knows you’re on her team.
Particularly when it comes to discussions with friends and family.

18. Have secrets between just the two of you.
Inside jokes. Secret handshakes. All that goofy stuff can make a relationship more romantic and fun.

19. Compliment her or brag about her in public.
It will let her know you are proud of her, and you want people to know.

20. Be sure to acknowledge more than just her physical beauty.
Of course she is beautiful. Just make sure she knows she’s so much more to you than just a gorgeous physique.

21. Go out of your way to discuss the future.
It will help her know you are invested. Even long term relationships need forward motion. A lack of direction can lead to boredom or apathy.

Final Thoughts on the Secrets Women Hold Close to Their Hearts

Having a hopeless romantic partner can mean putting in more effort, but it is worth it. The appreciation she will feel from your additional effort will do wonders for her romantic heart. It will let her know she is important to you and make her feel like she has trusted her romantic heart to someone who truly cares.

7 Reasons A Purpose Driven Life Is The Way to Happiness

Over the years, our team has looked at excellent models over the years that are massively successful. Over time, patterns emerged and we distinguished general behaviors and principles that shed light on how people live purpose driven lives. In the following article, we’ll flesh out five foundational elements which we uncovered that’ll give you that extra push towards living a purpose driven life.

Why You Should Seek at Live a Purpose Driven Life

By success, we are centering this more on someone who lines up his or her happiness towards achieving his or her highest possible potential. When someone accomplishes that sort of success, the power, money, or status that comes as well, is a great bonus. These are the five purpose driven life tips that every successful individual recommends towards achieving a more purpose driven life:

1. One Focus

The single system that these people employed was the 80/20 principle (or the Pareto Principle.) The Pareto Principle is the fact that generally, 80% of your results will come from just 20% of your work. This not only applies to someone’s professional life, but also to every area of an individual’s life.

Merely focusing more effect on the 20% of things that reaps 80% of the rewards. Thus, you can transform your experience into a purpose driven life.

2. Treat Yourself Like a Friend

The men and women we investigated each incorporated an easy method to thrive: achieving mastery. Now, the way someone can begin on that path is through taking action. Maybe you’ve learned about of the 10,000-hour rule, which means through about three hours a day you would be a master in a little over nine years.

A lot of people are scared of the thought of failing or maybe looking a little messy. However, the road to progress and achievement is through hard work. They say that the only time you find success before work is in the dictionary. You’re going to fall, but failure is just a stumbling block on the road to success. So learn to be kind on yourself, you’re going to go on to accomplish great things, and it might take a little time before you see the fruits of your labor.

3. Practice Self-Awareness

Self-awareness, just like a muscle, has to be utilized and encouraged each day, but as you reach a certain level of self-awareness, it’ll bring a great sense of aliveness and clarity into your purpose driven life.

Self-awareness can provide you with a crystal clear view of your character, preferences, strengths, values, feelings, and beliefs. This knowledge can positively affect the way decision-making occurs.

4. Be Present Right Now

Successful people make the most of every moment. Over time, making use of the present moment accumulates into good days, weeks, months, years, and ultimately, entire lives.

5. Step Up To Life With Passion

The kind spirit that these individuals brought to each situation was one of expansive gratitude which encompassed everything. It’s simultaneously contagious and captivating. This feeling is what drew people, money, and resources in the person’s life. Internally, it allowed them to “work” more extended hours and continue to possess the stamina to spend quality time with family and friends.

6. Leading a Purpose Driven Life

Each of us has dreams and ambitions for our lives. For example, we have an idea of what kind of car we want, the type of career we desire, or how big of a house we want to inhabit. We have goals that we have a general sense of in our minds.

Sometimes it’s hard to have that sense of leading a purpose driven life which helps so much to motivate us beyond our present-day limitations and aid us in breaking down those obstacles to success. If only there were a way to have that sense consistently, that way we would be able to achieve all the things we’ve been dreaming. How is it done?

7. Discovering your Life’s Purpose

Each of us isn’t living a purpose driven life all the time, which isn’t reached by merely setting more clearly defined goals. It’s done by digging below the surface to our core values and establishing realistic actions which are in line with our beliefs. If you haven’t taken the opportunity to clarify your core values. Indeed, that is something that no one teaches us in school. So this is a great time to do so.

purpose driven life
If you had established aims before that didn’t line up to your core values or beliefs, you’d usually find yourself becoming frustrated and ultimately giving up. With this conflict between our core values or beliefs and our goals, it’s not the best fuel to strive towards our goals.

It’s almost like being stuck in second gear while trying to hit sixty miles an hour when you could shift to fourth gear easily and save a lot more fuel.
