11 Quotes About Finding Love That Will Give You Hope

Lost hope when it comes to your love life? These pearls of wisdom will restore your faith that your soulmate is out there! Here are 11 of the best quotes about finding love to uplift and inspire you.

  1. “We waste time looking for the perfect lover instead of creating the perfect love.” This quote by Tom Robbins cited on Mom Junction highlights that we often have more control over our love lives than we think. The bottom line is love takes work. Try not to write off people just because a relationship with them isn’t a walk in the park at first. The perfect relationship is one that we create ourselves.
  2. “Once you stop looking for what you want, you find what you need.” If you’ve desperately been looking for love and are now sick and tired, take comfort in these words by Horace Cope. Often, love comes around when you least expect it. So don’t be afraid to pull back for a while and focus on other things. Love will come to you when the time is right.
  3. “Stop looking for a partner. Focus on your goals and rebuilding your life. The right person will eventually find their way to you.” There’s a lot of sense in putting yourself out there. But if you’ve put yourself out there and you’re beginning to lose hope, change your focus. Think about other things. The right person will walk into your life when you’re ready to meet them.
  4. “Love can only be found through the act of loving.” If you don’t practice love in your everyday life, you can’t attract more of it into your experience. This quote by Paulo Coelho reinforces the concept of the Law of Attraction, where you will attract love into your life by practicing love constantly. Show love to everyone, including yourself.
  5. “Don’t ignore the love you do have in your life by focusing on the love you don’t.” It’s easy to feel deflated when it seems like everyone has found their soulmate but you. But if you focus on that, you won’t appreciate the love you already do have in your life. This Mandy Hale quote hits the nail on the head! Even if you don’t have a romantic relationship, there are probably still other forms of love in your life. Focus on those and feel the love!
  6. “Your task is not to seek love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” This is an eye-opening quote from the poet Rumi. Again, you have more control over your love life than you probably think you do. Rather than setting off to find your soulmate, look inward and ask yourself what you’re doing to repel love from your life. Letting fear get in your way? Refusing to learn from mistakes? Dismantle these barriers and see who turns up in your life.

  1. “One day, someone will walk into your life and make you see why it never worked out with anyone else.” This quote cited on YourTangowill fill you with hope again if you’re jaded after a series of terrible relationships. It sucks that things didn’t work out with your ex. But when the right person does appear in your life, you’ll understand why it couldn’t work out with them.
  2. “When it’s time for souls to meet, there’s nothing on Earth that can prevent them from meeting, no matter where each may be located.” This is a great piece of advice to remember when you’re worried that your circumstances may stop you from finding love. When it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be. It doesn’t matter what barriers there are in the way, it will work out how it’s supposed to.
  3. “Finding love requires perseverance.” This quote from Marshall Sylver is an unfortunate truth. Don’t be misguided by people who find their soulmate on the first try. While that’s lucky, the majority of people have to date around before they find the person they’re going to be with. A lot of the time, dating is difficult. But if you never give up hope, you’ll find love sooner or later.
  4. “Don’t rush into love. You’ll find the person meant for you when you least expect it.” Society can make us feel like we’re running out of time to find the one. This is especially true for women. Talks of biological clocks and old maids might have you feeling like you need to settle down with the next person you meet. But actually, you don’t have to rush anything. This Franzie Gubatina quote is perfect. Love will come at the right time.
  5. “Real love doesn’t meet you at your best. It meets you in your mess.” This S. Park quote is brilliant for anyone who feels like they have to improve themselves before they can find love. While it can’t hurt to be the best version of yourself, you don’t need to be perfect. The person who is right for you will love you as you are, not because you’re perfect.
