THE GIFT OF BEING SINGLE


Too often people want what they want, or think they
want at the moment, which is usually "happiness" right
now. The irony of their impatience is that only by
learning to wait, and by willingness to accept the bad
with the good do we usually attain those things that
are truly worthwhile. I have a blessing which is
sometimes seen as a curse. I am blessed with the gift
of being single.

For most of us twenty-something young professionals,
it seems the world has already come up with it's own
set of expectations on how we should live life. The
world expects us to finish school in our early
twenties, get a job, find the love of our lives by the
time we reach our mid-twenties, marry and have kids.
But the thing is, not everyone sees their dreams come
true in the same way. In this article, I shall try to
endeavor to change the way the world looks at being
single.

The Art of Contentment. For most of us, being single
will be more of a phase than a final destination. This
is the best place to practice the art of contentment.
Someday, I'm sure most of us will fall in love and get
married. But the thing is, love will always be tested.
Someone more handsome, more charming, richer, funnier,
sweeter would come along. If you have not practiced
the art of contentment as a single person, chances are
you would be tempted to want that and not cherish your
chosen one. Practicing the Art of Contentment as a
single person means that you take what life gives you,
good or bad, you're willing to see it through. It
means you don't walk away everytime things get tough
because it builds in you patience, perseverance,
understanding and a hundred different virtues that
people in a hurry will never have. Being single means
you would find how it feels to be alone thus, allowing
you to cherish every moment you spend with your chosen
one. The art of contentment means you wouldn't mind if
life had to make you wait for so long to find the love
of your life, because you know that the waiting would
only make the finding much sweeter.

A Time to Know Yourself Better. Being single is a time
of your life when you can get to know yourself better.
You can pursue different interest and passions without
having to ask another person's approval. It is a phase
when you can keep focus on other things, discover your
potentials and talents, and see yourself become more
than what you expect to be. Allow yourself to surprise
you. Stop wasting precious energy trying to figure out
why you're still romantically unattached. It's all in
the mind. Take the time to go see your friends, spend
time with your family, do charity work and you will
realize that you are not, and never for one moment,
was alone. Try to get to know yourself first before
you try to get to know other people. To be truly loved
means to be known and accepted for who you are. How do
you expect other people to know you and to love you,
when you don't know who and what you really are?

A Choice Between Good and Best. Sometimes the dilemmas
we face are not between what is absolutely bad and
absolutely good. Sometimes, it's between good and
best. Treat this stage of your life as a phase to
evaluate who is good for you and who is best for you.
Sometimes, you won't hear music, or feel magic to know
who's best for you. The heart just knows and it
doesn't need any romantically charged scenario to
decide on the matter. Trust in your heart, and trust
that time will eventually lead you to, not to the
perfect partner, but to the most suitable partner for
you. Being single is a phase of life that we need to
be thankful for, because being single means our hearts
have yet to choose the best one for us.

Almost a non-committal. Jane Austen once wrote, that
it is a truth universally acknowledged that a single
man (or in our times a woman), in possession of a good
fortune is in search of a spouse (just to be
politically correct). Well, that was what the old
school wanted us to believe in. Married life is a path
most of us would take, however, it is not the only
path there is. Relieve yourself of the pressure and
stop making every single, straight guy friend a
prospect. You have no business "entrapping" them and
asking (which is more like "putting a gun in the
head") them of their exclusive attention, if you're
not ready for commitment yourself. Sometimes, when you
spend too much time trying to find a boyfriend, you
normally end us marrying the first loser who comes to
your door.

Take your time, the world will wait. Being married
doesn't guarantee that it will make your life happy.
It doesn't guarantee anything at all. Sometimes, it
only brings two miserable people together only to make
their life even more miserable. Without the right
intention, the emotional maturity, financial security
and of course, unwavering love, you're better off
unattached.

Living Life. Don't put your life on hold for Mr. Right
but don't let it waste away with Mr. Wrong. Life is
about things that you do and happen to you everyday.
It's not about the things that could have happened but
never did, or things that you think would happen in
the future. Live life now. Live it to the fullest and
stop beating yourself up, trying to be perfect on a
Saturday night date. Allow life to surprise you with
it's most wonderful blessings.

4 REASONS TO STAY SINGLE :

Single Celebration #1: Time Is On Your Side

Thanks to the evolution of the modern relationship, there's less pressure to marry young or marry for convenience or financial reasons. So you can afford to wait for Mr. or Ms. Right. By staying happily single, you can take the time to wander around the dating field, picking and choosing who you want to play with, instead of going on a frustratingly single-minded search for The One.

Single Celebration #2: More Opportunities.

Let's fact it: single people have more options and opportunities offered to them just because they're less tied down than committed couples. You can get away with spontaneous adventures, try new things and go new places more easily. Partying 'til dawn is a lot easier on your own!

Single Celebration #3: You Can Focus on the Financials

Okay, maybe it's not a sexy reason, but when you're single it is easier to build up a great career without the drain of a serious relationship on your life. You can move across the country for that great job, work long nights if you need to, and take business trips to exotic locales without a second thought. Plus, think of all the money you're saving by not having to think about engagement rings, mortgages and a college education for a kid.

Single Celebration #4: You Never Have to Compromise.

Rather sleep in that have brunch with your family? Do it. Want to have Cheetos and ice cream for dinner - again? Go for it. Rather watch The O.C. than the NBA? Fine. Single, you can go wherever you want whenever you want, do what you want anytime. And no one will tell you not to. It's 24/7 self-indulgence without guilt! Why would you want to give that up?
