Rediscovering Self-Worth: The Unexpected Path to True Love
I had always dreamed of meeting 'The Love of my life' From childhood I held the belief that fulfillment depended on it. By my early forties my 'Person' still hadn't shown up, which somehow made me feel like I didn't measure up.
Then one day it occurred to me the idea that without a partner I was lacking somehow was stealing away my self worth. A low grade lingering inferiority haunting me. Relentless. Subtle but powerful.
So I quit.
I decided to retire from the search. It felt daring, but I reasoned it might not be on the cards in THIS incarnation . Did I really want to continue to waste my precious life if that were the case?
So there and then I made a commitment I must architect a life that would make me happy. I would create a life I wanted.
I would scale my business doing work I enjoyed which was then in it's infancy.
One sunny Tuesday in May 2004 I was marketing my business putting leaflets through the letter boxes in Notting Hill. I felt brilliant. I was positively shimmering. Life was on offer. Mine for the taking. I was shining my light.
A total stranger came up to me on the street and asked me out. We have been together ever since. It's almost 20 years now.
There is nothing more attractive than going after what you really want. Do it for the Love of your want. You may or may not meet someone but who cares. You will meet yourself.
