Your task is not to seek perfect love but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it. This great love tip was shared hundreds of years ago by the poet, Rumi. It aligns with a universal law which states that like attracts like. So we attract what we are, not what we want. I often tell my online community that you find the right person by being more like the person you want to date. This also means that you ask for no more from a potential love match than you're willing to give.
What if you keep attracting a date with qualities that you don't like? Since we attract what we are, not what we want, you start seeing your dates as a mirror that reflects a weakness that you need to strengthen within yourself. Or, you strengthen your strengths so any weakness loses power and importance. When you do so, you will attract a date who reflects, shares and values your best qualities.

If you were betrayed in a past relationship, do you keep looking for any signs of disloyalty in a new date? Do you expect the same old disappointments and notice that you always get what you expect? Ready to change that? If you're dating to find great love, here's what to do instead:
Understand the universal law which states that what you focus on expands. When you focus through your veil of past troubles, you attract more of them. Seeing through the dark veil of the past blocks your clear view of the here and now, and stops you from getting the great love you deserve now.

You choose to see each past trauma as a fluffy cumulus cloud. If you try to cling to it, it eludes your grasp. If you dive into it, can it hold you? Of course, not. So, you let go of it's hold on you when you see a dark cloud as a fleeting blip that passes through your blue skies. When you see and savor blue skies in the present moment, you welcome each new experience, leap over obstacles, expect even better things ahead and attract a date who shares your view.
