Can’t Hurry Love… It Will Happen In its Right Moment I am so hungry for love that I can taste it. I’ve
done all the spiritual work, the emotional work and the
logistical work. I am ready for love. But love does not
seem ready for me. Where have I gone wrong? How come I
am still alone? Dear Roslind, Your time just has not yet come. It could be any day now; any hour. You may find love on the next corner you turn. Part of the package with truly soulful love is that it has it’s own schedule… it’s own rhyme and reason. Being alone at this moment in time does not equal failure, nor does it signal that love will never come. May I suggest you adjust your attitude and try to step into sync with the way your romantic universe is flowing… and see what happens! Sometimes, before true love arrives, we are asked to just be present in our own lives so that we are completely awakened, aware and ready when true love comes. We are asked not to busy ourselves with ‘searching" and not to engage in things that are distracting, but to live our lives with joy and go with the flow. On some occasions, the one who we are meant to love is not yet ready… has not done all that must be done in order for you two to be together. But this could all change very quickly. When your time comes, it will all change in an instant – which is why it is so important for soulful lovers to do the kind of healing work you have been doing – on all levels. Consider that everything you have done up until this moment has been preparing you for soulful love. Every relationship that didn’t work, and every heartbreak you’ve known or felt responsible for, is part of the building blocks toward true love. Rather than worrying about the relationship that has yet to come, or harboring any regrets over romances past, congratulate yourself for surviving love’s battlefield and for still being willing to open your heart! Allow yourself to trust that perhaps there is a greater plan for you; know that sometimes the greater plan take time. This time of yearning for love is a powerful part of this journey. It allows you to stand in the vestibule of true love, and prepare yourself to walk through Love’s door. I always view these times of yearning and hunger as Spirit’s way of preparing us for love.
