Todays #failurefriday might not have yielded me the love from a partner, but it eventually gave me the love I needed in my life.
This gem right here is a trailer I spliced together from an audition I recorded for The Bachelor 3 years ago.
At the time I hadn’t dated anyone since getting my heart broken 3.5 years prior and felt like if I was going to open myself up again why not go all in on National TV.
The funny thing is I’m not even sure I would have even taken the opportunity if they wanted me on the show, but I thought at least doing an audition was a step forward from where I’d been at in my love life.
Long story short I did not get chosen or even contacted and I sit here today still single, but with no lack of love in my life.
Honestly a lot of the things that I did in the past were based on the hope of receiving love from others, but I often found myself feeling empty when I did not receive it in the end.
The thing I’ve come to realize most in these past 3 years though is not to do something because I think it will yield love, instead do it first and foremost out of love for myself.
In the coaching business I often come across a lot of people who want to lose weight or get in shape because they want love from an outside source.
Now sure it’s great to find some hope or inspiration in that idea, but when you base your goal completely on that then you’re basing it on something you can’t control.
When your goal is built on a solid foundation of love for yourself then you take control of receiving the results you desire, and skies the limit on how big that building can grow!
Love,
