Relationships are a big part of our lives. It is a wonderful way to experience and express love. We spend a great deal of time and energy on finding the “one”, keeping the “one”, wondering if it is the “one”, deciding what to do with it if it isn’t the “one or constantly proving to ourselves that the one we found is the “one”.

The one you really need to find is you. Get to know you and you will find the relationship you are looking for. Get to know you and your current relationship will improve. Get to know you. How can anyone else know you if you don’t know yourself?

Where do you start? Create a full life. Do things you enjoy. Find a hobby that uses your creativity. Make time to nurture relationships with family and friends. Take pride in your work or consider a job change. Find your passion and engage it often.

Discover who you are. Identify a few of your gifts and use them regularly. Find out what you believe in. Let go of relationships that are toxic or challenging. Look to forgiveness instead of blame and. Learn what matters to you.

These are just a few ways to find “the one”, aka YOU. Doing this connects you with more of who you are truly which allows your relationships to be more authentic. Realize that you are the one you need to find and experience the journey of relationships with more peace, satisfaction and joy.
