Secrets for Finding Love and Commitment
by If you’re anything like the countless singles in the world, you probably wonder, if, when, and how you will eventually meet your other half and person of your dreams. You might have even imagined what that person might look like, where they might live and other such parts of your fairytale dream.
Ironically, the more love you give yourself, the more love you will attract. How does this happen? We have all seen a person walking with their head down, looking sad and lonely. If you feel happy, it is most unlikely that you will approach such a person for a potential date. In fact, that person will simply attract others who are in the same sort of downtrodden emotional state. It’s a simple concept, sometimes easy to forget, but true and guaranteed to produce predictable results.
Remember to listen to your unique intuition.
You know yourself best. If you feel you are not ready to move toward starting a relationship with someone, be fair to yourself and the other person. If you feel you are ready, set yourself up for success! Exercise, fill your life with things that make you feel good, give you great self-esteem, and keep you positively reaching all your dreams and goals.
The person of your dreams exists. Keep hope in your heart alive and give that person a fair chance to fall head over heels, forever in love with you.

You are so right, in that we are a reflection of everything we do and of our thoughts, it is so important to respect ourselves.
Thanks for a great article.

I think I have met that person, I’m not sure if she has met me though
Interesting article, “fall in love with yourself before you fall in love with another person” favourite part. very deep and meaningful

Great advice – If you don’t like yourself, why should anyone else?
However, if there’s something that needs changing – then change it.

Having found my soul mate and married him more than a decade ago. I have to say that the person of your dreams is just that – the person of your dreams.
The man or woman you’ve made up lives inside your head and there is no one who fits the entire description anywhere in the world.
What you will find though, is someone who loves you totally and as completely as you need him/her to. When or if you’re blessed to find this person, you should allow that imaginary one inside your head to quickly fade away.
The person you fall in love with may have some common traits as the one that you’ve dreamed about. He/she may not have so much hair, may not have won modelling contracts, may not have a PHd, or my not be as slender. What they will have, is a connection to your soul, one that your mind, even in its wildest of fantasies, could never have fashioned. After all, if you could make this complete spiritual connection all by yourself, in your own mind, you will never again need partner in your life.
We should’nt be afraid to dream of a soul mate, (this is not what I’m saying) and have a guide in our minds as to what he/she should be like. However, when it comes to the real thing, if we’re sensible we will not hold out for that imaginary person who is perfect in every way, except for the fact that they do not exist.
I agree with all the other points.
This is what I try to tell the people with whom I work.

I have uncertainties back then if I would ever find my friend and partner in life. But, there is always the right time. I’m glad that I found him

The love of your life is not often the man of your dreams. That knight in shining armor is usually a fairy tale but the man who cooks breakfast while you sleep late or gets up in the middle of the night to give the baby a bottle, that is the man you will love and appreciate above all others.

True- and after finding that soul mate- you need to make time to continue knowing yourself when times are overwhelming, because it’s that person your spouse fell in love with. In other words, marriage, work, children, $, all demand your time so keep loving & being true to yourself amid the whirlwind.

I’M STARTING TO REALIZE THESE THINGS, SO THINK I’M MAKING MY VOYAGE TO TE NEW ME SOON. I THINK IT’S IMPORTANT TO ADD THAT, IF YOU IMAGINE THE THINGS YOUR SOUL MATE WILL DO TO MAKE YOU HAPPY, YOU SHOULD ADOPT THESE MANNERISMS TOO. THAT BIT OF INFORMATION HAS REALLY EMPOWERED ME.
