I had been trying to be the &#8220;perfect woman&#8221; 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.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\" align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>I began to write down all the things about myself that I felt were unlovable&#8230;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.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\" align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>I gave myself permission to let it all go for good. As I let each one go, something beautiful began to happen \u2013 <strong>I began to fall in love with me!<\/strong> I discovered that the only love that was missing was my own. <strong>I was now free to love and to be loved!<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">See, what Michelle discovered is that what stops\u00a0you from creating a happy and loving relationship you want is not online dating; it&#8217;s not what happened in your past; and it&#8217;s not your current partner, your ex, or the guy who didn&#8217;t love you back.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><strong>The #1 difference between the woman who is not experiencing love and happiness in her relationships and the one who IS comes down to one thing:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><strong>The relationship the\u00a0woman has with <em><u>herself<\/u><\/em>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Think about it&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>If you do not love, accept, honor, and prioritize yourself, it is\u00a0impossible for you to attract someone into your life who will love, accept, honor, and make you a priority in his life!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In fact, it&#8217;s <u><strong>unfair<\/strong><\/u> to expect a man to love you and give to you the soul-level kind of love that you are not giving yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">And what happens when you don&#8217;t have a deep level of self love is that you continue repeating the same dysfunctional patterns and having the same painful experiences over and over again. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">So, you do things\u00a0like:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Attracting men who you hope will love and accept you, but don&#8217;t.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Turning yourself inside out trying to be\u00a0the woman you think the man wants you to be, hoping that\u00a0<em>that&#8217;s\u00a0<\/em>what will maybe get him to love you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Losing yourself in the relationship, forgetting about your own needs and desires, and trying to make him the center of your world in the hope\u00a0that you will <em>finally<\/em> feel loved.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>And the reason this continues to happen\u00a0again and again is because, on a fundamental level, you do not believe that you are worthy of or able to have the kind of love you truly desire.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">So you settle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You settle for less than what you really want.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You pretend that you&#8217;re okay being single and that you don&#8217;t want to share your life with a great man.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You convince yourself that what you have is what you want.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">And, at the end of yet another heartbreaking dating experience or broken relationship, you&#8217;re left feeling lost, empty, lonely, and afraid \u2013 wondering if you&#8217;ll ever <em>really<\/em> have the love and happiness your heart desires.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><a class=\"validating\" style=\"color: #800080;\"
