Are You Single? It’s Good News!

Disclaimer: This article is not for everybody. This is for single people out there. If you have a partner at present, it’s good news. If you don’t have a partner yet, it’s also good news!

Confession, I’m a no-girlfriend-since-birth man. I really am! I was raised up to truly focus on my studies.

I remember my mom telling me “Son, study hard because [formal] education is the most important thing we can bestow upon you.”

Because I came from poor beginnings, I took my mom’s advice seriously. I understood what she was trying to point out to me. And so, I graduated First Honorable Mention in elementary and Salutatorian in high school. In college, I was listed in the Dean’s List in two of my eight semesters.

During my school days, I never courted a woman. Can you imagine how difficult it was for me AND for the girls around me? :)

But I did have crush to some of them.

When I started to work I said to myself, “Hey, school’s finished and I now earn my own money. I can court a woman I like!”

Then I saw myself constructing a plan, doing some research, interviewing people asking for their advice to court a friend. She’s beautiful, kind, down-to-earth and family centered.

But before the planning and researching stage, I normally visit her as a friend. We go out as friends. We talk and text over the phone as friends.

Then I blurted it out. I said, “I want to court you.” (One of the things I learned in leadership is to be clear to the people around you.)

She denied.

I pressed on. Of course I asked her “Why?”

But it didn’t take long and I stopped.

And then I was enlightened by a timely quote I read, “Just wait, the right one will come along. If they haven’t yet, maybe it’s because God wants you to love yourself more first.”

I realized that instead of spending my time with a single person at such a young age, I started to work on improving myself, my gifts and my talents.

I started to go to the gym to work out.

I lead people to serve patients for their medicine needs.

Last month, I attended seminar about Organic Farming (I dream of having one). And I encourage you even just to visit the farm. It’s awesome and amazing experience!

A few days ago, I bought the cheapest model of guitar from the music store. Because I didn’t have the time to study how to play the instrument years ago, I believe I now have it, the time. It is one of my fondest dreams to play “bahay kubo.” (Don’t laugh too hard).

This coming November, I’m scheduled to attend conference about entrepreneurship. I’m excited!

I focus on growing myself more, on taking time to care for myself.

Preacher Bo Sanchez keeps on talking about “love tank”. He said, “I believe that each of us has a ‘love tank’ from where we scoop up and dispense love to others.  If we keep on giving love to others, our love tanks will soon be empty—so we need to replenish that tank.”

If you’re single, use your time to discover more about yourself.

To grow as a person you dream to be.

To expand your territories. To serve more people.

To love yourself.

And I believe, soon you will attract the person harmonious for your life.

Have a blessed weekend!
