I'VE GOT A CRUSHH. IT'S ABOUT TO GET REEAL SERIOUS. I THINK I'M IN LOOVE.
You know how people say "To love someone else, you must first love yourself"? Well, it turns out they are right! If you're looking for a catch, you've got to be a catch. You have to believe it. There's a glow, a certain aura, that people give off when they are in love or loving what they are doing, and people can't help but find it irresistibly attractive. Fall in love with yourself, and you may be surprised to find great things and great people start to gravitate towards you. It's time stop searching out there for your perfect match, and put all that energy back towards yourself. Foster that self-love and self-worth that we so often downplay, ignore or deny. Too often, people settle for what they think they deserve. Do yourself a favor: raise your self-esteem, your standards and your expectations. Today. For a change, try treating yourself the way you would expect your ideal partner to treat you. In other words, date yourself! Compliment yourself, treat yourself, wine and dine yourself, impress yourself. Go out of your way to make you smile. We have an endless supply of love, so toss some of it to the one person that will always be there: you.

#20 RULE OF ME-LOVE

Stop saying "... and then I'll be happy."

You need to learn to be happy in the current circumstances of which you live. We are all guilty of this.

I need to lose 10 lbs and then I'll be happy.
When I finish this project/deadline, then I'll be happy.
Once I get married, I'll be happy.
After I catch up on bills I'll be happy.
When I buy that car, then I'll be happy.

Try to take these phrases out of your vocabulary. There's always gonna be something. The goal is not to find someone or something to make us happy. The goal is to be as happy as possible as often as possible, period. Regardless or current relationship status, weight, finances, job, stressors, ETC.

    Well said (just like the rest of your posts!). Life is too short not to be happy!
