What do you do when you have the best life ever — a fulfilling career, great friends, an amazingly supportive family, etc. — but you’re somehow still single? Be happy and be proud, that’s what. If you have everything you’ve ever wanted in life except for love, you’re actually doing better than you think — here’s why:
- You have your dream career. You don’t just have a job, you have a job that you busted your ass to get and totally deserve. You’ve worked hard, you’ve built this success for yourself, and it’s something to be crazy proud of. Who cares if you don’t have a boyfriend right now?
- You have a purpose. More than just a job, you have a purpose in life. You have a reason to get out of bed in the morning. You feel good about yourself and your place in the world. That’s worth a lot more than any relationship because you’ll always have time to find love.
- You have friends who are like family. You know you’re doing well in life when your best friends are basically your sisters. You should never feel like you don’t have love if you don’t happen to be coupled up. You have lots of love — just look at your girlfriends.
- You have parents who are crazy proud and supportive of you. Not everyone can have a grown-up friendship with their parents, so if you do, you’re doing pretty well. You may feel like something is missing from your life because you don’t have a boyfriend, but you should appreciate your friends and family.
- You’re crushing your goals and racking up a list of amazing accomplishments. Sure, it’s one thing to have goals. It’s a whole other story if you work toward them on a daily basis. Most people can’t say that. How many people do you know who claim they’re dreaming about something but they never do anything about it? Exactly.
- You live every day like it could be your last. Work is important and you can’t get too far in life without a steady flow of cash, so you get stuff done when it needs to be. However, you play just as hard as you work because you know that’s what makes life worth living. You get out there every day and find something that inspires and uplifts you, and that’s a pretty amazing accomplishment.
- You know there’s more to life than finding a guy. Of course guys are amazing and there’s nothing wrong with wanting to find one of your own, but if you’re so boy crazy that you don’t focus on your job or your life, you’re going to end up in a really bad place. Your self-esteem should be based on who you are, not your single or coupled up status. You’re already whole, so you’re not worried about finding your “other half” — such a thing doesn’t exist in your world.
- You have your priorities in order. You know that no guy is worth feeling bad about yourself or taking time away from your career or your dreams. Having your priorities in order doesn’t mean that you don’t want love, of course. It just means that you’ll never let anyone stop you from achieving what you want in love, and that’s pretty awesome.
- You’re on the right track. You may think that no matter how well your life is going, it’s not perfect yet because you’re still solo. Not so. If you have everything all set up except for the whole love part, you’re on the right track. When you’re meant to find love, it’ll be there.
- You have a lot to offer any guy lucky enough to be with you. Just because you don’t have a boyfriend right now doesn’t mean that no guy will ever want to have that role in your life. You have a lot to offer a guy, at least judging by this list. Keep being you and you will meet him before you know it — you need someone just as special as you are and that takes time.
- You have more time than you think. You may pressure yourself to find a relationship by a certain point or wonder why it’s just not happening for you right now, but the truth is that you have more time than you think. And since you have it all but not love — your career, friends, family, a purpose, hobbies and goals — you’re doing better than you think too.
