it’s all about “having your ducks lined up” (having your life in order), knowing what you want, and making the most of (i.e. being ready and willing when opportunity presents itself) opportunities present themselves.
It’s got NOTHING to do with fate, karma, the stars, the cards, etc.
Just live your life by setting and achieving your personal goals, and you WILL find happiness: if you find someone to share the journey to achievement with you, that’s great, because you will have achieved happiness. If you don’t find someone to share the journey to achievement with, that’s great too – because you will have STILL achieved happiness!
Remember, that sharing a life with someone is just one kind of existence, and it’s not only the best way to live, just another way to live. And also remember that many businesses have a vested interest in us Finding That Someone, because if we do hook up, THEY WILL MAKE MONEY OUT OF IT, our hopes and feelings and thoughts don’t matter to them at all.
When I die, I’d rather be remembered for having a happy and fulfilled life, and not remembered for being single/married/successful/failed.
