Like Attracts Like

by JillM

I was discussing some things with my ecclesiastical leader yesterday after church, and one thing that he told me really stuck out in my mind: Like attracts like. In other words, be who you want to be.

That is my advice today: If you want a thin and fit person as a partner, get thin and fit yourself. If you want him or her to be a spiritual giant, that is what you have to be. If you want him or her to be well-kept and attractive, become so yourself.

During the last year I have worked a lot on things spiritual in particular. I want a man who will be a spiritual leader in my home, yes, but if I’m not at all spiritual and seeking guidance, would that kind of man want me? I’m thinking not!

So just for now, instead of focusing so hard on finding Mr. or Mrs. Right, how about we work on becoming Mr. or Mrs. Right?

As Bruce learned in Bruce Almighty, BE THE MIRACLE!

    Good advice! To get what you want, you really have to be attractive to who you are after!

    I do believe it. I look at who I have dated at various points along this path, and every time.. It has been true. Good reason to be a good person, huh? :)
