Without realizing it, Marg started to carry her frustration with the online dating process around with her on each and every date.She admitted that she was probably a drag to be on a date with because she had become cynical about the outcome. Marg adjusted her attitude and let go of her internalized pressure to be in a relationship and get married. She came to believe that she will enjoy her ideal life with the right perspective combined with action taken that supports her way of thinking and desired visions. She recognized immediately how relaxed she was and saw the difference in the response from her future dates. The conversations were much more comfortable.

What would your last date say about your presence and interaction with them?  Would they say that you seemed anxious or pre-occupied?  Think about how you are presenting yourself and what you are getting from each encounter.  Give the gift of just enjoying and being to yourself first and foremost.  Your date will benefit as well.

Seek out that particular mental attitude which makes you feel most deeply and vitally alive, along with which comes the inner voice which says, “This is the real me,” and when you have found that attitude, follow it.

~William James

Passions Uncovered Through Growth

Life transformations that occur from such experiences as divorce, starting a new job, or a major illness, will lead to opportunities for growth that can modify your perception on the way you have been living your life. The process will often bring to light key details that previously had not been in the forefront, including your values and passions. Feeling unsupported at the start of a new job, for example, may lead you to develop an enhanced welcoming and mentoring committee.  You may find that assuming this role is something that you enjoy doing.  Many parents have established advocacy groups and organizations following an experience such as losing a child.  Has there been an experience that has resulted in your discovery of a new passion?  Have you acted upon this new awareness?
