Whatever Tomorrow Brings ...

So, my story starts with a very good friend of mine. She got a fantastic job, shes making huge strides with her company, and she takes care of everything on her own. She still lives with her parents, and they don't require her to pay rent, but they also don't want to shove her out of the nest yet. She has a wonderful group of friends and family who supports her, and keeps her head on straight. Every aspect of her life is in order, even her love life.

She has no boyfriend, no husband, no fiance, and no applicants worth a damn. Her life is on par with moving toward the meeting the man she will marry, and have a family with. She told me that she felt that the reason she hadn't met the one yet was because the one is still putting his life in order, just as she is. She said that she needs to work on herself, her well-being, her fitness, her mind, her career, and having fun. When the timing is right, he will present himself, and everything she has worked so hard for will fall into place.

Girl's like my friend are just being molded into the fantastic women they are meant to be. It is perfectly okay to be single and have to be selfish and focus on yourself. So many of my friends are married, or getting married, and that's wonderful, but I have friends who are just desperate to marry, but don't realize they need to love themselves and be the absolute best they can possibly be in order to have a wonderful relationship and meet the man they will marry. Too many are caught up in just not being alone. No one is ever alone, and a relationship does not define your loneliness. Yes, you go to bed at night with no one else in it except maybe your dog, but like I said, you're being molded into the person you are meant to be so that when you have hit your peak of perfection, the right one will come along, and all of the pieces of your puzzle will click together.

So many women don't want to see the bigger picture. They occupy their time with ideas in their head of the way their life is supposed to be, but what if it winds up being way better than they imagined? I think women get the image and their standards confused. Yes, have solid standards, notice I didn't say high, high is different. High standards are usually so out of this world, that they are impractical, but solid standards, and knowing what you want, and not settling for any less than you deserve, are where you will put yourself on the right track.

There's a bigger picture, look at it, take it in, and understand that there is someone out there for you, you just need to focus on the best you possible before he or she comes along to sweep you off your feet. There's a lot of stepping stones on the way to the one, and you should step on them all. Some find it right away, some take a little longer, there's no need to compare, it means everyone's life takes a different course. Let your life take you down the course it is meant to.
