The number of times I’ve heard friends, family, and clients say, “As soon as I meet the one, I will ______” (lose weight, become successful, be happy, find a new job, start a new business, etc.).

We’ve been conditioned from childhood to believe in the idea of an “other half” (predisposing us to think that who we are is not the whole thing, to begin with). When I was younger, I also believed that a partner would make me whole and truly happy (man, was I wrong 🤪)

Yes, during the so-called honeymoon period, one might feel "finally complete". But once the veil of infatuation lifts and the subconscious mind kicks in with all our triggers, unprocessed emotions, traumas, and “corrupt files”—the relationship is put to the test. Unfortunately, many don’t last or barely exist for years to come instead of flourishing...

Think about it this way: if you have a puzzle with missing pieces, buying another box won’t restore it to its complete version.
That’s why doing the self-work—mentally, physically, and emotionally—is so important.

P.S. There’s also the opposite extreme—people who are never satisfied with their growth or betterment (financial, personal, professional, physical) and who wait for perfection before allowing love in. But that’s a topic for another post :)

Let me know if this resonates 🙌🏼
