While you are on your search to live the life that you believe supports your best gifts, the pressure to be in a relationship can be intense.

Society continues to pressure people to believe that you may not be “complete,” unless you are married, in a committed relationship, have children, and the list goes on.

I wish people would not doubt themselves when it comes to their gut feelings. Just because you may have your moments of feeling lonely or you find yourself wishing that you had more in your life, realize that there is nothing wrong with that. It is hard to be lonely. It isn’t a great feeling to see your other friends in relationships when you are not in one. It doesn’t matter how old you are. It doesn’t get easier.

People are naturally social. We need interaction and we need positive relationships that help us continue to grow and learn. We all know people who have been stuck in lousy relationships, and we are always hoping that our friend will come to their senses and have the courage to leave a situation that is dysfunctional.

Know who you are and what kind of people you need to surround yourself with to help you become the person you want to be. Put yourself with those people. You will no longer be lonely and you may also find an opportunity for a good relationship. Don’t give up or give in until you have found people that support you and your goals. Allow those people to enter your life.  “Now let’s get going!” xo Sally
