I'm entering a new phase in my life, I can feel the change coming with all it's force to sweep me off my feet. I 'm ready for it! For the past couple months I felt lost, with no direction, no path, I felt I was alone in a journey-less life but thanks to the few people in my life that were and are always there for me, I was able to lift my self up and keep walking down this road called life. I spent many hours crying in the shoulders of friends and loved ones; I also spent my hours meditating and contemplating on where I am in my life.
Below are some of things I learned from wise strong women in my life; these women are my sisters, they are my best friends and most important they are my soul mates. They were there when I needed guidance and when I needed companionship. They were also there to tell me what I need to hear not what I want to hear. I put together the things that stuck with me and helped me understand that there is so much more out there in life to live for. I'm lucky to have the friends I have. Not only they are much older than me and much wiser, they guide me and teach me what life is all about!
Golden rules to live by:
-Set high standards for yourself, never settle for less- we are worth so much more. This includes but not limited to your career choice, love, relationships, friendships, etc.
-Respect yourself first and foremost for men to respect you and everyone else.
-Never rush into anything, specially relationships; develop them, nourish them and let it grow in it's natural state.
-Don't be too available; leave him wanting more of you. Oh I learned this one the hard way. I'm starting to understand that men always like a little hunt, they also like a little challenge.
-If a guy waits at least 2 months to get anything physical from you, he's a keeper.
-If he actually waited that long he's not only interested in you, he will respect you and stick around. Yep, learned this one the hard way also.
-As a 23 year old- I should date guys between the ages of 27-32. Not older than 32.
-Learn to disconnect- from toxic men that don't deserve you. Attachment is a powerful force specially for someone as sensitive as me; however when it comes to toxic relationships is best to learn to be strong to walk away and disconnect.
-And learn to connect with the right person.
-Have an emotional connection with a man that respects you and loves you; a man who meets all of your needs.
-Date. Start dating again and meet guys. The best way to meet the right guy is to actually go out and meet different guys; it also helps when you know what you and what you're looking for in a men.
