Honing the Self

We are often regaled with stories of people who meet success out there in the world, professionally, academically, socially, financially, etc., due to their persistence, and due to the fact that they never gave up. But we rarely hear about those people who meet success simply because they never gave up about finding love.

Many who seek my services talk about the fact that love appears to have escaped them; that they simply never found it, or that they found it once or twice, or even more, but that now, at the place they are at in their lives, it eludes them.

In this kind of a situation I believe it's also about not giving up, but perhaps in a slightly different way than if the success that is being sought is more outward. When you're looking for love, doesn't it make sense to never give up by continually honing yourself? By continually improving yourself in areas you wish to grow in? By becoming more of the kind of person you would like to meet? There is an element of not giving up in looking at it from that point of view, because you go on and on and on, even if momentarily you see no success whatsoever, because you are not meeting anyone, or because those that you meet, are not of your interest (or you don't interest them).

It goes without saying that if you don't situate yourself in at least some public or social occasions, sports or hobby activities where you have the opportunity to meet others, then possibly none of the above will serve you either, but if you do both then your chances of turning the tide in your relationship and love life multiply enormously. It was Harriet Beecher who wrote: Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.

I could give you a long list of individuals I know, who, no matter their age or appearance, found true love simply by following activities that spoke to their heart, and by continually enhancing aspects of themselves that connected to their inner self.
