As Christmas approaches, many singles have reservations about…well, being single. Family members and friends mean well, but many times their suggestions, advice and questions about your love life seem hurtful or intrusive.
It’s important to remember that your relationship status does not define who you are. Many people in relationships aren’t more satisfied with their lives than singles…it’s all about perspective and making choices that resonate with you. Your happiness isn’t dependent on having a significant other in your life, despite the romantic comedies that make us believe this is what's missing. Happiness is about knowing what fulfills you. Only you can decide this for yourself and make it happen.
In the spirit of Christmas and giving to others, remember to include yourself on your list. That’s right: this is the time of year to remember everything you’ve accomplished so far, and what you want to accomplish in the future. It’s time to celebrate who you are, regardless of your relationship status. It’s also time to be thankful for all of the people in your life, including those bad dates or nosy Aunt Patty, who are teaching you all the time about what you do and don’t want in your life.
The holidays are about celebrating the people who are in our lives, not the people who we hope to meet in the future. They are about celebrating the end of 2010 and all that we’ve accomplished, and looking forward to new experiences 2011 will bring. They are about celebrating who we really are: people who are making choices every day to live happier, more fulfilling lives. And that’s worth celebrating.
Happy holidays!
