Does he not exist?

How many toads do I have to kiss until I find my handsome prince?

What is wrong with men?

At first, my newfound love seems to be everything I could hope for,

but then he treats me like all the others.

Why? Why does my beautiful princess turn against me?

I was her everything. Now she keeps on nagging.

I thought she was that special one and we would live happily ever after.

Now she treats me like all the others.

Why?

We spend so much time looking for that special one who will make us happy and whole. No matter how much we look, we seem to always end up with the same kind of person. Once the newness and excitement wear thin we find ourselves in the same old groove, disappointed, hurt and disillusioned. Back to square one. “How much more can I take?” Is there nothing but hope?

We work so hard to bring more happiness into our lives. We constantly try to change things around us to find the everlasting happiness we are longing for. Why does it always slip away?

The time has come to turn things around. We have entered the age of empowerment and now realize that unless we change within, nothing changes.Or, have you ever succeeded in changing another person?

Not likely! The only thing we can change is ourselves. And as we change, the world around us changes. Recall the times in your life when you stood up for yourself and refused to take it any more – and things turned around.

Nothing changes unless we make changes within.

I want more love in my life!

Why can’t I get it?

The lack of love from outside sources only reflects how little we love ourselves.

If we want to attract and keep a loving relationship we need to learn to love ourselves more. If we don’t love ourselves we find it hard to believe that someone truly cares for us. We are suspicious every time we hear the words “I love you” and respond “Wait until you know me better” or immediately suspect ulterior motives. Unless we love ourselves more, every new found love will fade.

Too good to be true, and true enough…
