"Looking" for love can lead to blinding frustration!

I listen to the frustration in people's voices when they talk about not being able to find true love.  I remember that pang of frustration.  I remember feeling it deep in my heart.  I longed for someone to share my life with, someone to stand by my side as I navigated the ups and downs of life.  I was tired of looking around wondering where my partner was... I was, like the people I listen to, FRUSTRATED.  So, I decided to stop "looking."  I wasn't giving up on finding true love.  I just decided to go about it in a different way.  I began to turn my attention inward.  How was I getting in my own way?  Did I even know what I wanted in a relationship?  Had I ever had enough clarity to "put it out there"?  Was I giving myself the kind of love that I wanted to share with someone else?  Did I believe I could find true love?  Was my frustration sending the wrong message?  As I asked myself these questions, I began to realize that I needed to focus my attention on myself in order to find a meaningful relationship.

I wanted to make the process fun.  I got creative... and what came out of that self-reflective, imaginative, clarifying, and transformative time in my life was two things...   TRUE LOVE and THE SOUL MATE MANIFESTO!

Have you asked yourself the same questions that I asked myself?  

If you haven't, try it and see what you realize.  
If you have, please share your revelations.  
And, if you need any guidance on what steps to take now, let me know.

Take an inside out approach to finding true love!
