The Single Woman’s Dash of Sass: August 19, 2011

Quote of the Day:

“When you learn not to want things so badly, Life comes to you.” ~Jessica Lange

The Single Woman Says:

It’s great to be passionate and determined and driven about achieving a goal…but it’s quite another to be SO hyper-focused and urgent and desperate to obtain something, that you push it away. Sometimes you have to be willing to step away from the endless pursuit and allow things to happen organically. In my own life, I have found that every time I endlessly seek something to the point of allowing it to consume me, I only serve to repel the thing that I’m actually trying to attract. Why? Because it’s the Law of Nature. Anything you frantically or desperately chase will ALWAYS run in the opposite direction. It’s awesome to be a mover and a shaker and a hustler – more power to you! Go after your dreams 110%! But don’t get so caught up in trying to make something happen that you start trying to FORCE it to happen. Do all you can, but then get outta the way and let nature take its course without trying to force! Life has a way of unfolding just as it should when we step back a little bit and allow events to unfold naturally and authentically.
