You've climbed your way to success in your career. You have friends that you love and a fabulous life. You seem to have it all together, but you struggle with one thing. Love.
I get it. I used to struggle with that too. I was having a hard time balancing my professional persona with the woman I wanted to be in a relationship. I worked in a male dominated music industry where in order to survive you had to be a part of the boys club.
So I became a part of the boys club and channeled my masculine energy. Nothing and no one could get in my way of success, and when I brought that energy into my personal life, it didn’t work.
I found myself failing in two ways: I was either leading the men I was dating and using masculine energy pent up from work or I had a total loss of power because I was exhausted from leading all the time. There was no in between.
I know I'm not the only woman who had had this experience.
I know there are other women out there who want to find true love, but have to learn how to get out of the way of their own success.
Here are 24 things the successful woman MUST BE ABLE TO DO in order to find love without settling:
- Know her value and that she’s worthy of great love.
- Refuse to compromise who she is while compromising with her partner.
- Love her life and live in her vision with or without a partner.
- Love herself to the core.
- Understand that there’s power in her femininity, and know when to use her masculinity.
- Dance with failure, since that’s where all her lessons are learned.
- Be able to let go of her past and walk through fear.
- Forgive herself and those who never asked to be forgiven.
- Know how to have fun.
- Expect to be taken seriously, without taking herself too seriously.
- Communicate her needs.
- Understand that there is no perfect man.
- Know there’s a perfect man for her.
- See that there's no value in judging others.
- Set healthy boundaries.
- Listen to her intuition.
- Refuse to be defined by things or titles.
- Never define a man by his things or titles.
- Handle herself with grace.
- Know that it’s ok if at times she’s a total mess.
- Listen to her body.
- Give herself permission to be vulnerable.
- Be compassionate with others, but most importantly with herself.
- Choose love.
It’s time to cut through the B.S. and get real about love. You are successful, goal-oriented, and self-motivated, but you are building a life for one.
All of this is so much more fulfilling when you find real love and someone to share your success and build your life with.
You get to choose who you are today. You get to choose how you show up.
