Living a single life and fulfilling unconditional happiness without a partner can be a challenge. However, with every challenge, there are possible solutions that increase opportunities for one to live a happy and well-being life. To acquire what the heart truly desires, one must go to the first reference of the source available…within SELF and obtain SELF. Self-awareness, self-understanding, self-forgiveness, self-boundaries and self-comfort and discomfort, to say the least. Self-satisfaction provides one the ability to satisfy self in order to satisfy others. If one cannot satisfy self alone, how can one wholeheartedly satisfy someone else or receive satisfaction together? To please thy self on all aspects (mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually), time is needed. Take time to live with thine own self long enough to know who that person really is from the inside out. Time increases self-toleration. With that, comes an understanding of who you are, what you stand for, and what/who you deserve in life. Emotional attachment to self increases self-satisfaction. When the self is satisfied, the established self-unconditional love creates a new lens to observe and view the true “self” of others.
If we do not know ourselves well enough to embrace ourselves for who we are, imagine the challenge of embracing someone else or allowing someone to embrace us? Extremely interesting thought… Lack of self-unconditional love creates a vicious cycle that is repeated with no lessons learned and places a strain on one’s ability to live a single life while being satisfied. Once you find YOU, you find your happy place. When in your happy place you gain self-satisfaction while being single, which then opens the door for the individual that is for you to enter without you seeking beyond…self.
