7 Keys for Finding True Love and Happiness

Is it even possible to find true love and happiness? If so, what are we missing? Here are 7 keys for that will help you on your journey.

Hello lovely ladies! Let’s be real for a second – how many times have we asked ourselves if the fairy tale is actually real? Is it even possible to find that soul-shaking true love and genuine happiness, or is it just something we see in movies?

If you are feeling stuck or wondering what the missing piece of the puzzle is, take a deep breath babe. You are exactly where you need to be. Here are 7 keys that will help guide you on this beautiful journey called life.

1: Know your true value

Listen to me gorgeous, the greatest romance you will ever have is the one with yourself. This isn’t about blowing your paycheck on expensive treatments or acting stuck-up. It’s about feeling your worth in your bones and refusing to accept anything less than what a queen deserves.

The way we let people treat us is basically a mirror of how we treat ourselves. It becomes super obvious to the world how much self-love we’re actually carrying. Once you truly get it – once you know your worth – you’ll stop giving out discounts on your heart. You will start feeling whole and happy, even if you’re rocking the single life for now.

2: Live a life you love daily

The most amazing thing about this life? You get to choose how to live it, babe! It is so easy to get dragged down by the everyday routine, feeling like we are just stuck in a rut waiting for a miracle. But honestly, the only person standing in your way is you.

When you build a life you don’t need a vacation from, waking up becomes a joy. Small choices work together to create that dream reality. Why not start today?

3: Declutter and get organized

I’m a big believer that your outer world reflects your inner world. When your room is full of rubbish and chaos, its usually a sign that your mind is a bit messy too. By clearing out the old junk, you are energetically telling the universe you have space for the new!

Even if your heart feels all over the place, you can bring some peace to your soul by organizing your physical space. It’s crazy how much a clean home changes your mood. Get rid of the negative vibes and build a sanctuary that makes you feel peaceful and in control.

4: Write a list of what you want

Life and love are hard enough without wandering around blindfolded! Grab your journal (or your laptop) and get clear on what you want. Be honest and specific babe, this is your future we’re talking about.

Here are the lists I love to write to get my head straight:

  • Yearly goals I want to crush
  • A list of who I am and the magic I offer the world
  • My wildest dreams and passions
  • The kind of relationship I actually deserve
  • The traits of the dream man I hope to marry!

Don’t hold back. Put this list somewhere you can see it every single day so you remember what you are fighting for.

5: Learn the difference between compromising and settling

Love shouldn’t feel like a consolation prize. You should never have to settle for second best. Sometimes, after a few heartbreaks or years of being single, we get tired and forget our value. But on the flip side, sometimes our walls are so high that we forget how to be flexible.

You have to know the difference, ladies. When you know your worth, you’ll find that sweet spot between having standards and being open to love.

6: Know when to chase, and when to wait

We live in such a fast pace society, dont we? We want everything *now*. It is hard to wait for the real deal when there are so many “okay” options right in front of us. But chasing men? That will get you nowhere fast.

Chasing your dreams, however? That fills you with purpose. We definitely need to put ourselves out there (we don’t want to end up alone with 42 cats!), but we also need to know where boundaries lie. Sometimes you have to put down the “good” to pick up the “great.” Trust the timing, lovely.

7: Nurture what you have

It is so important to appreciate the blessings already in your lap. Relationships take work – they need to be fed and watered to grow. Don’t neglect yourself, your health, or your partner.

Be conscious of the words you speak and the energy you bring. It’s not always easy, but the reward is so worth it! When we nurture what we have, we live with way more gratitude and joy.

How do I start loving myself more?

Start by setting boundaries and speaking kindly to yourself. Treat yourself with the same compassion you would offer a best friend. Invest time in things that make you feel confident and happy.

Is it bad to have a checklist for a partner?

Not at all, babe! Knowing what you want is crucial. However, focus on core values and character traits rather than superficial things like hair color or car model. Be specific but leave room for the universe to surprise you.

How do I know if I am settling?

If you feel like you are suppressing your needs, making excuses for their bad behavior, or hoping they will change into someone else, you might be settling. True compromise feels like a healthy middle ground, not a sacrifice of your self-worth.

Erin L.:

Great article! I especially agree that in order to find true love, you must first love yourself and get your life together. We often expect others to give us what we can find within ourselves. Again, great post!

weetjij:

You won’t feel conscious in front of them. You will feel just as good as you feel in front of your friends. You will go out of your way to help that person who holds a special place in your heart. For example, if your love is sick or needs you, you won’t care if their home is too far. You will just reach their home as soon as you can to console them or to help them out.

Ankita:

Very insightful post, and pretty funny too! Yeah, true love does bring you back to reality, and there’s no such thing as love at first sight… only attraction! It’s not me being cynical, it’s just the truth.
It’s ironic that I’m commenting on a post about love since I just finished writing a post about a director who generally keeps a safe distance from it! ????

J.M.:

I had a 14 years relationship before. She had an affair twice with the same guy. We separated for a year now. After a year passed.
After a year passed, I have a girlfriend now, but I feel like something is missing. Im sure it’s love. I dont want to hurt her. I just want to make her happy. But inside me it’s not. I dont know what to do anymore. I know im idiot. 🙁

Blessing:

What a great article,I love it, I now understand you need to love yourself before you can find true love

Anonymous:

Well many of us men have to stay away from women that have their very high unrealistic expectations, and very high standards today.

Leslie:

I must disagree with Ankita. Love at first sight does happen. I have an aunt that had it happen twice in her life. She had an instantaneous connection with my uncle that went far beyond mere attraction. They both knew immediately and were married 45 years Until his death. At the age of 77 it happened to her again. ( lucky duck). I also know 2 couples that had the same instantaneous connection. It goes beyond just physical. If it happens to you, you’re very lucky.
