ShareSingle again? Losing a relationship impacts us in many ways, it can be very painful, or it can be very refreshing, or anywhere in-between. No matter what the cause or the degree of pain, there's one truth we all share: We don't want to be alone.
In order to get into a new relationship, we must be willing to meet and go out with people. It's our own fear, however, that often gets in the way. Rejection, having a bad time, getting hurt and having to reject someone else are the common fears people have.
Many dates and relationships don't work out. You may look back and think of it as a bad time. Only through bad dates do we get to the good dates. It is through our bad relationships we become stronger and learn about ourselves and what we want.
Change how you look at rejection and see it as a favor. When you reject someone, you are releasing him or her to go find someone who will truly appreciate that person. Look at it that way also when someone rejects you.
After all, do you really want to be with someone who doesn't want you? It's better to be free to find someone who actually wants to be with you. Predicting the future is not in our hands yet we continue to believe in self-limiting thoughts about the future. At times we believe so firmly in these thoughts that we don't allow ourselves to move on.
Instead of predicting pain, I predictthat if you embrace the dating process instead of watching life pass, you will have both good and bad times. I can also predict that these good and bad times will lead you to even better times. Embrace the journey and release your fear.
