Are You Passionate About You? By Cheri Valentine
|
So many women tell me they want a man in their life. Some just do not want to be alone. Others think it will make their life easier; while many
others just want to have someone with whom to share their life. How many of you have considered the possibility of sharing yourself? I
believe at the deepest of levels we, as humans, are made to connect and not to be alone. However, I also believe that in order to truly
connect with another person, we must first be connected to ourselves. We must know who we are at all levels, and accept and love what is
there.
When we take the time to know what is important to us, to tap into our heart and embrace our passions, we have so much more to offer
someone else. When we are willing to offer the whole of ourselves with honesty and trust, then we attract someone who also is willing to do
the same. When we are living our lives fully, embracing all that life has to offer, we are sending a message of happiness and gratitude to the
world. The universe responds in kind. What you put your attention on grows stronger in your life, so if your attention is on lack, need, and
loneliness, rather than on contentment, acceptance, and passion – then don’t be surprised with the results.
Being alone is an opportunity to embrace the beauty of who you are, to see the gift of yourself, to enjoy your own company, to find what
makes you tick, and to discover what you are most passionate about in this life. Being alone is a gift to yourself to fine-tune what it means to
live your life whether alone or with another. If you do not enjoy your own company, how in the world do you expect someone else to enjoy
you? If you are bored and lonely and cannot see the joy in this moment, regardless of what you are doing or who you are with, what makes
you think someone else can change that for you?
When you are clear about who you are and what is important to you, and put attention on those things, your life will be fulfilling and
rewarding. When I was a teenager, I received a card with the following line included as part of the poem, “If you are not happy with what you’
ve got, how can you be happy with more?” This makes so much sense to me and has been a reminder for me all these years to be present
and grateful for whom I am and what I have whenever I find myself complaining.
Are you excited about sharing yourself with another who complements you, or are you desperate to share your life with someone? Can you
see the difference between the two? In the first you are present, alive, whole, and very attractive, confident that you will wait for the right
one. In the second you are sad, wanting, needing, and willing to take anyone. Who would you rather be – attractive and confident or needy
and desperate? Conversely, what kind of man do you want to attract? Be the love you are seeking and you will find it. If you are not happy
with yourself and your life, how will you attract a man who is happy with himself? Two happy people create a happy couple. Take the time
alone to get to know who you are, your values, your passions, and what is important to you. Enjoy you! Love you! Embrace you! Then get
ready for magic.
