Attracting Your Extraordinary Love (5 page)

PANIC

Although it’s the key to unparalleled
happiness and contentment, making a lifetime commitment to another
is a huge and unsettling decision.

If, at any point after you’ve jumped, you
feel doubt, fear, or absolute panic – it’s okay. Absolute panic at
any point, is not an indication of a bad decision.

Stay with it, learn and grow.

Panic is the enabler built into the
experience of living. It gives each of us opportunities to make
great decisions – to fail and to grow.

A crisis of faith – in yourself and the one
closest to you, is a positive and important step to becoming the
person you must be, and giving yourself to another.

Stay with it, learn and grow.

RELATIONSHIPS SHOULD NOT
BE PERFECT

Committing to your love mate means that he
and you have the potential to complete each other, build a home and
a family, and enjoy the happiness those wonders bring. But, the
relationship will not be trouble free.

Difficulties, conflict, and struggle are
essential - they enable you to grow. Difficulties, conflict and
struggle are most meaningful and life building when experienced
with a love mate.

If you commit yourself to him – and the
relationship is less than perfect – it’s not an indication that he
is anyone other than your extraordinary love. The giving that is
necessary for extraordinary love to remain and grow is greater than
the giving needed in all of life’s other possibilities -
combined.

When you’ve reached the point where you feel
you no longer have any more to give – dig deeper, and reveal more
strength and greater creativity in your giving. There are times
when relationships should end, but many end at points that are
midway in the process of giving and growth.

THE PARTNERSHIP

Whether you’ve had several relationships that
were wrong for you, or you’ve been married many times before -
there is a person out there now who is right for you.

Remember: This is a partnership between your
Creator - or the positive forces of life - and you.

Life has always been – and will continue to
be – unconditionally committed to its side of the partnership. It
will continue to bring people into your universe who embody the
things you need and with whom you can build an extraordinary love
–regardless of what your experiences have been.

NOT YET

You may be doing everything right, but life
demands that you go through additional stages of growth and
understanding before your love mate will be yours.

You may need more time for experiences that
will shape you and allow you to be the most true you.

Never give up – just keep growing.

Tears yield joy
Courage yields completion
The extent to which you work at something is
invariably reflected in what is ultimately yours.

Laughter, deep-felt smiles, and fun should be
the
armor that strengthens your hard work, courage
and tears.

To find him is by finding you first.

Finding you will bring you happiness and
completion. Your quest for happiness – and him – should be a happy
one.

“Therefore, a man shall leave his father and
his mother and cleave unto his wife and become one flesh.”

GENESIS, CHAPTER II, VERSE 24

Man
Woman
One word built from the other,
One being built from the other-
as no other.

Male and female unquestionably linked.

Two become one
and with that become two
and thereby are one...

And so it will be.
