Many people go through life looking for that ONE person to complete them. I've let go of the Cinderella fantasy. What brings love, laughter and complete joy to my life are my friends. When I was younger I did not get this. I was cynically cool, I took great pride in being better then everyone else and putting other people down. Yes, I was the "mean girl". Looking back now I am embarrassed by my behavior. I probably past up a lot of opportunities for some really great friendships.
When I sit and think about my current friends I am amazed by how much love and support there is between us. We are constantly building each other up with compliments and encouragement. Whenever one of us has a problem we really truly listen to the person. We allow them to get it all out and then we think of an action plan to solve the problem. None of us stay stuck in problems and drag the others down with drama. Amongst us, it is a circle of love.
It has taken me a long time to get to this point. Words that I now live by, "All of my relationships are loving and harmonious" Now that I have experienced true love, laughter and joy, I refuse to be around people that need to tear me down in order to build themselves up.
I challenge you to take a look around at all the relationships in your life. Are they loving and harmonious? If not what can you do to change this? Try being the positive one. A positive, loving attitude is contagious.
If you are stuck in the mindset of looking for that ONE person to complete you then STOP and take a look around. You will find that you are already surrounded by love, you have people in your life that think you are fantastic. You have people in your life that WANT to spend time with you. Focus on these people and you never know.... that "ONE" could suddenly appear.
