Today is a very special day at Heart’s Desire International Headquarters!
We are celebrating one of my FAVORITE love stories of all time!
Five years ago today, I was able to witness a dream-come-true for my sister, Michelle, as she walked down the aisle, escorted by her two sons to marry the love of her life, Arnie!
As I stood there, tears streaming down my face, I could not help but remember the pain and heartache that preceded this beautiful love story.
Michelle had experienced the pain of living in a marriage that had been falling apart for many years, a string of micro- and non-relationships to men who were unavailable, addicts, and who did not treat her with the love and tenderness she so longed for and deserved.
She came very close to giving up on love.
But, then a turning point happened and she discovered the secret to creating the kind of love-lasting, dream-making, extraordinary love she’d always wanted!
And it had nothing to do with Arnie!
See, Michelle discovered what had been missing all along. In fact this missing ingredient was what had her stay in an unhappy marriage for so long, attract and date the same kind of man time after painful time, and to wonder if there was something wrong with her.
In our book, 30 Days and 30 Ways to Fall In Love with YOU!, Michelle shares the secret:
I decided to take a deeper look into my relationship patterns so that I could begin to uncover what was at the source of the results I was producing.
I discovered that in the 5 years I had been dating, there was something fundamental missing in all of my dating and relationship experiences…ME! I had been trying to be the “perfect woman” to hide who I really was, because I was terrified that if a man discovered who I really was, he could never fall in love with me. I had convinced myself that the real me was unlovable.
I began to write down all the things about myself that I felt were unlovable…it was a long list! Then one by one, I began to forgive myself. I realized there was nothing I could do to change the past. All I could do now was learn the lessons and forget the details.
I gave myself permission to let it all go for good. As I let each one go, something beautiful began to happen – I began to fall in love with me! I discovered that the only love that was missing was my own. I was now free to love and to be loved!
See, what Michelle discovered is that what stops you from creating a happy and loving relationship you want is not online dating; it’s not what happened in your past; and it’s not your current partner, your ex, or the guy who didn’t love you back.
The #1 difference between the woman who is not experiencing love and happiness in her relationships and the one who IS comes down to the relationship the woman has with herself.
Period.
If you do not love, accept, and honor yourself, it will be impossible for you to attract someone into your life who will love, accept, and honor you!
In fact, it’s unfair to expect a man to love you – really love you – if you don’t truly love yourself.
And what happens is probably what you’ve been experiencing over and over again:
You keep attracting men who you hope will love and accept you.
You twist yourself into a pretzel trying to become the woman you think he might – maybe – choose to love.
Then lose yourself in the relationship, forgetting about your own needs and desires, in the hopes that you will finally feel loved.
If this is resonating with you, you’re not alone.
This happens to be the most common complaint women have about what happens when they are in a relationship.
And the reason this happens again and again is because, on a fundamental level, you do not feel that you are worthy of the kind of love you want and deserve.
So you settle.
You settle for less than what you really want.
You try to convince yourself that what you have is what you want.
And, at the end of yet another heartbreaking relationship, you’re left feeling lost, empty, lonely, and afraid – wondering if you’ll ever really have the love and happiness your heart desires.
This is why we created The Self-Love Secret 21-Day Challenge.
We know it’s hard to break through long-lasting limiting beliefs and patterns on your own.
Think about it…
If you knew what to do to change those beliefs and patterns on your own, you would probably have done it already… right?
