BLUE THIS VALENTINE'S DAY?





FEELING A BIT BITTER THIS VALENTINE'S DAY?




For many singles, instead of being a day for celebration it ends up bringing up feelings of self-doubt, loneliness or depression.

85% of all current relationships are unhappy according to the American Psychiatric Association.  Gulp!

Imagine being in one of them this Valentine's Day? 

At least if you are single, you have hope you will find that right person that will put you in the 15% category!


Remember That A Relationship Doesn't Define 

Who You Are

 

Just like when someone asks you what you do for a living, the same goes for your relationship status: 

Whatever your situation, it isn't the end-all explanation of who you are as a person.

  

  Love, like happiness,

 is found 

when your mind is focused on giving it to others.



Valentine's is just another day.

Treat it as such.  

It's NOT Saturday this year: 
so no date tonight is normal!


Another person cannot
make you happy.

Only you can make you happy.


ONLY when you are whole within yourself
will you attract another whole person.

Two half-people sadly do not
make a whole one:

Only two thirsty people
trying to drink from leaking wells.


It is okay not to be okay.

Sometimes, people need permission to break. 

And it is from that broken place 
that they are finally able to become whole again.



Above all,
explore the world
waiting for you to discover it.


Don't forget to pre-order
the HERO LOST ANTHOLOGY!

  3. Good points. I do remember vividly being on a job interview one Valentine's Day and having to eat by myself in the hotel dining room. Unfortunately, this was in a small town, so there were plenty of V-day couples celebrating around me. So awkward.

    1. To be alone is not always to be lonely-- at least for me. :-)

  4. If you can't be happy with yourself, you'll never be happy with another person.
    I feel blessed I am in that fifteen percent.

    1. Me, too. At least I can't complain of the company, right? :-)

    1. Hilary, I am so happy you had a fun accidental meeting with a friend -- sometimes those accidental meetings do not turn out so well! A good movie and catching up -- what a healing time that sounds like. :-)
