Own Your Feelings
The ability to feel all those wonderful emotions such as joy, accomplishment, confidence etc., is yours. Not somebody else’s to give to you.
And thank God right? Because imagine if the only way a person could feel anything good, was through the mercy of someone else. Imagine if happiness wasn’t a decision, but a thing one had to wait to have bestowed upon them at some point in their life. Wouldn’t that suck?
Look, I know these are all silly scenarios, but there are some single women in the world right now feeling down in the dumps because to them, they’re not quite sure how it is they’ll ever be happy without that special guy or gal in their life. But this is what I mean by waiting for happiness to be bestowed unto you. Don’t get me wrong, there is happiness to be felt in a relationship. But, if you don’t know how to be happy on your own, then not even the happiness of a relationship can ever be enough for you.
The real bestower of happiness in your life is you. I’ll admit, it’s scary at first when you think about the responsibilities of having to take on your own happiness. But trust me, it’s worth it. No one can bring it about the way that you can. So close your eyes and go for it.
Take Your Time
There is victory in not being with the wrong sort of guy.

Sometimes, some single women get mad at the fact that mostly every guy they come across seems to be this, that or the other. Not realizing that there is that flip side where they could be the girl who’s with the guy that’s this, that or the other. More so, they don’t know that some of us don’t know the things that they do right off-the-bat. And that some of us have to find all these things out, the hard way. (You know, when we’ve been through them at least eighty million times.) So take pride in the fact that right off-the-bat, you were the sort of woman with the intuition to detect that something was off about a certain so-and-so you were looking into, had the smarts to know that you deserved better, and were full of the strength it took to walk away. Don’t be mad that you can’t seem to find a guy who’s anything but proud that you aren’t the lady of a guy (or gal), who’s not right for you.
“You’ve still got all your love to give.”
And that is to quote Gloria Gaynor in the song “I Will Survive.” Love isn’t limited to people. Or more specifically, that special someone. Have you ever considered loving life? Loving what you do? Loving you? So there isn’t a special someone in your life with whom you’re giving this “love” to? That’s okay. Because there is so much more to living. Heck, life’s a journey. Don’t pass up the opportunity to learn and grow because you limited the definition of the word love. Don’t get me wrong—having someone to go on the journey with is awesome. But, if you’re at that point in your journey where you must travel alone, then that’s just where you are. Just because the path calls for you to travel alone doesn’t mean that it’ll teach you one less thing, or grow you in one less way. As long as you have your dreams, hopes, aspirations and things that you’re passionate about doing, then you can trust that you’re headed somewhere great. A traveling companion, or lack thereof, won’t change that.
Nothing lasts forever.
So in the meantime, why not work on you? If you don’t believe me, go ahead and test fate. Be single forever. You, with all that you have going for you? I dare you to try.
But, before you embark on this dare, I don’t mean be a ‘B’ to everyone you meet or pack your bags and move to the top of Mount Everest. I’m saying, while being you, and striving each day to be the truest and best version of yourself, try being single for the rest of your life. Tell yourself that lie of how you, with all your qualities, are destined to be forever alone. Maybe you may not like yourself enough to believe that you’re awesome enough to bring this “age of single-ness” to a close. (If so, you need to change how you think right now!) But if a diamond can turn back into coal (granted, this is after a long, long while) then you’re not going to be single forever. But, if you don’t believe me—hey—my dare still stands.
