Love in your 40s can be both scary and fulfilling. You have learned some things about yourself along the way, you are much wiser and know better what works for you. This journey requires honest self-reflection and solitude.
The following steps are necessary to find true love and happiness:
* acknowledge the mistakes - own up to the poor decisions you've made and learn from them
so they don't become a habit
* forgive yourself - it is impossible to forgive others until you let yourself "off the hook";
forgiveness frees y-o-u
* allow the wounds to heal - time, meditation or prayer and talking with a trusted friend can
be a major step in finding the peace that will reduce the effects of the wounds; not magically
remove them
* move forward - this won't be successful until the other steps have been completed; this part
often takes the longest and is often the most risky because you are vulnerable - trust what you've
learned
Intimacy is an important part of any relationship but requires full honesty; allowing the true you to be seen will yield more than you expected.
Let It Go
your future short-changed by re-living past mistakes
dreams unfulfilled because you can't see past your current situation
wanting love but too afraid to surrender your heart and be vulnerable
time to get up and get on with it
