Journey of a Thousand Miles

Today ended up being a better Monday than I expected. It started off slow and gloomy. I had no motivation for work, no motivation for my goals, I was feeling sad about my breakup, and I just wanted to stay in bed. I guess cloudy days can do that. Then I met with my new mentor from church, and she changed everything! We talked about everything: my recent breakup (she encouraged me that this was a GREAT idea, and she's glad I'm no longer with him), mission trips, different cultures/religions, the differences between men and women, the hardships of marriage and children.

You attract people when you're living your best life.  Men are attracted to women who are driven, who are up to big things, who are committed to their vision. Not someone who is waiting for a man to save them.  Men want a woman they can convince to have a relationship with them, not when they have to "save" them.  Spend time on learning a skill set. Do what you love. Reconnect with your vision personally and professionally.  Spontaneous socializing. Experiment with the types you like hanging out with.  More time to date and love yourself. More 'me' time. Appreciate yourself for who you are, not for who you're with.  Get out of your comfort zone. Explore.  Time to focus on your health.  Take risks to tell people that you find them attractive. Make rejection your friend. Approach people you're attracted to and say 'hi.'  Surround yourself with family and friends you love.
