Feeling like you have failed at love and romance because you have dated a plenty and maybe even been married a time or two or three?

Stop it now!

I have dated plenty and I have been married twice (and divorced twice) and FINALLY I am in a long-distance, long-time relationship and I am VERY happy.  Is it hard?  Yes.  Is it worth it?  YES!!

There are no failures in dating and relationships.  We just have in our mind what love, life and romance should be, and it is rarely, if ever, the way we expect it to be.  Failure is not what it is because we are all where we are meant to be at this stage in our lives.

You may not realize it but every relationship teaches you something about the opposite sex or yourself.  It may be what you do want out of a man, or what you don’t want.  Either way, it is a learning experience.

*EVERY RELATIONSHIP YOU EXPERIENCE, GOOD AND BAD,  IS A STEPPING STONE TO YOUR GRAND PRIZE!*

You have to learn from each one and improve with each step.  You have to have values and set boundaries.  Everyone in your path is not meant to be “the One.”  Sometimes that takes time.

Stop beating yourself up and telling yourself that you will never find love or that you aren’t worthy of love.  You focus on what you feel.  What you believe affects your choices. If you feel you never will find love, you will not find the grand prize that is waiting for YOU.  You will be stuck in the “no-go zone.”

XOXO
