The end of waiting

Did you immediately recognize your dream boat? Who's the lucky lady? Who's the lucky guy? Maybe you have decided to explore relationship possibilities beyond what your culture has conditioned you to believe is expected or appropriate. That may challenge your values or cause conflict in your family because they fail to understand your choices. You own eyes will continue to see what they expect, especially when you perceive through and trust the eyes of your soul.

When someone approaches you and greets you with a look of expectancy, how do you respond? Your mind may jog your memory and make a connection from the past. You may encounter an apparent stranger who comes to play an integral role in your life. Why then? Why now? Somehow, you're ready. You may have been waiting around or anticipating for a long time. Do you think you may even seek an enduring, intimate relationship too much? Would you choose anyone just to have a relationship?

Society programs us to create meaning in our lives. We come to think we must adapt ourselves to rigid rules or stereotypes and if that deosn't work, then we put our faith in something or someone else. Your initial images of a partner may be inherited from the culture you live in. There would be no ambiguity. You could imagine the livelihood, lifestyle, habits and dreams which coincide with people or relatives you know. Yet, what happens if you don't meet someone like that that fits a mold? Love presents itself in many different forms, including those you have never seen or experienced before. Would you be willing to embrace it?

You might rent a film like, "My Big Fat Greek Wedding." This story reminds us how people who care a lot for us may think they know who we are and what we want or need, but they may not. The story reminds us that if you haven't yet found someone who cherishes you, a special someone exists. When you evolve to feel ready and have the courage to believe in yourself, you'll begin to notice opportunities and people you didn't recognze before. Many people are unaware how their intuition and self-confidence is evolving. You can become more attuned. As of this moment, it may be the end of waiting. The person you seek is closer than you think.
