Before we embark upon the journey of finding the relationship that’s right for us, we may want to take the opportunity to refine our concept of who we are and our ideas of what we want from life. That way, we can be clearer on the kind of person we want to attract into our lives. Part of the journey of finding a mate is learning how to become our own mate. When we know how to meet our needs without relying on someone else to complete us, we don’t have to form relationships from the space of needing our emptiness to be filled. We can also discover our intrinsic value, separate from what someone else might be reflecting back to us. Getting to know who we are and learning to love ourselves creates a solid foundation of self that we can bring to any relationship.
We’re fortunate to live in a time when relationships can unfold at a pace that’s right for us and can take many forms. Friendship, dating, open relationships, long-term relationships, long-distance relationships, committed relationships — we are free to choose the kind we want. If you want to be in a relationship but haven’t found the right person for you, remember that the universe works in perfect order, and therefore, right now your life is unfolding exactly as it’s meant to be. Maybe all this time has been part of your preparation period for meeting your intended partner. Even the relationships in our lives that haven’t worked out as we’d hoped serve us by teaching us to make better choices the next time.
Finding the relationship we want can come early or later in life. It may even happen again and again in one lifetime. There is no right or wrong for how to find a relationship, nor is there a timeline you have to adhere to. Follow your heart, listen to your inner voice, continue to become your own soul mate, and stay open to love. The journey of finding the right relationship begins with being in the right relationship with yourself.
