You Are A Great Catch!

Do you know what a great catch you are?

Do you know how lucky an emotionally available person would be to share time with you?

Do you understand that you are good enough for a great relationship right now?

If you answered yes to these questions, good for you.

If you cannot completely believe that these things are true about you, I want to tell you that they are. And if you don't believe them now, you can learn to see that they are the truth.

You are terrific. Any emotioanlly abvailable person would be lucky to have you as a partner. You are a great catch!

So I want to point out that the journey to knowing and claiming these truths for yourself is as important as the goal of sustaining a wonderful relationship. The journey to profound self-acceptance is worth all the time and energy it takes. And a interesting fact is that if you still haven't found the relationship "success" you are seeking, that might be because you still have the opportunity to love yourself more fully right now.

I know this may not be what you want to hear. You may want a quick fix, to get the 'brass ring' right now. I understand, But I also know how crucial it is to learn how amazing, worthwile and deserving you are right now - because then when you do meet someone available, you will be able to say, "Wow, they are so lucky to meet me." "They are so lucky to have a partner like me." "I am such a good catch."

This is not egotism, this is reality. And to know this to the center of your core is the great gift of this work. Love is your birthright, and you deserve it. Although it can be painful to really look at the root causes of what keeps you stuck in unsatisfying relationships, it truly is a great opportunity to get to the heart of the matter - and then to get beyond it!

Move on to an emotionally avaiable partner and share the richness of who you are in a fulfilling, harmonic relationship - the relationship of your dreams. Live and love and stop letting our self-hatred, shame and guilt hold you back. Get and keep the relationship you've always wanted. It all starts with you!

Fusses and Slips

Have you recently had a fuss with the person you have been dating. Did they ask you if you are pushing them away? At this point, instead of worrying what will happen, if the relationship will dissolve, think about your answer to their question. Are you really trying to push them away?

No matter what the answer is, you are still alright. Even if you are trying to push them away when you get triggered by something they do, you are still worthy of love.

It is so easy in relationships to take everything very seriously, and believe that the partnership is doomed when you have a fuss with someone you care about; but that is unrealistic. As humans, we are all flawed, and we will make mistakes sometimes, overreact sometimes, and fly off the handle sometimes.

The important thing is to apologize, own up to what was going on for you, and make a committment to handle things a bit more skillfully the next time there is a glitch.

The truth is you can't say the wrong thing to the right person. So relax and take things easy. Let the person you care about know you are sorry--and then move on. Life is too short to worry. Enjoy yourself, have fun and let loose a little. There is always a new opportunity to love waiting for you!
