You need to realize how fabulous you are! You need to really really really love yourself. You can be imperfect, you can be out of shape, two kids, 40 or whatever! It doesn’t mean you aren’t fabulous! AND there WILL be someone else. He might not show up tomorrow or next year or the year after, but he WILL show up. And the sooner you love yourself, know your fabulous and get the life that YOU love, the sooner he will be there for you.

You’re miserable because you allow yourself to remain in situations that keep you miserable.

Its like this: Imagine a woman really out of shape and overweight. She is miserable that she is overweight and hates summer. She knows if she could just drop 50lbs she’d be happy. The problem? Dropping 50 lbs isn’t fun and it takes WORK. Its a LONG process and at times a person thinks…ugh…I can’t do it, its easier to just eat cake. In fact, when she eats cake she feels GOOOOOOOD. THEN she feels aweful because she is back where she started, 50lbs overweight. If she could just push through the temptation, the pain, the cravings and put in the hard work…think how happy she’ll be when she hits her goal weight!!!

This is you. Your man, is chocolate cake. He’s satisfying, but not totally satisfying because indulging in him causes you pain. Leaving him is painful, just like going on a diet. But once you do it for long enough and develop your own sense of self and a life you love, you WILL be happy. Happier than you have ever been. You need to make girlfriends, get some hobbies. You shouldn’t feel alone and lonely when you are not in a relationship. A relationship should add to you, not define you. Envision a great life as a single, sexy 20, 30, or 40-something and GO GET IT. THEN…a man, the RIGHT man, will show up. But guess what?? You won’t be worried about WHEN he shows up. You’ll be so happy and so at peace as a single woman your attitude will change.  You’ll be ok single, or ok with the right man.

Just love yourself, love your life and learn to be happy no matter what your circumstance.
