Book Excerpt - Ch 1. Dont Send out the Invitations

Fact is, before you meet “the one” there will be plenty of “the almosts” that will precede their arrival. And men, we will probably face this scenario more times than our female counterparts as most metropolitan areas boast a woman- to -man ratio that is something astronomical. What I want you to see is that meeting someone that answers your list of criteria is not necessarily a sign that he or she is “the one” for you. Sometimes, “the one” that is for you may not come for several months—or even years. And if that is how it was meant to be, can you trust that your paths will meet in the due course of time? While it hurts to know that the person we’ve invested so much of our time, love, and commitment in may not be “the one,” it is time that we face that hard truth. The hard truth lies in the reality that you know you should have left him a long time ago, but his nonsense apologies, superficial gifts, and broken promises keep you hanging on a wish that he will change. But change is not anything he can sign up for or take a class for, and then emerge standing tall as the new valedictorian. Change is something that comes as a result of being tired of your stagnant situation and realizing that you deserve more. Stop dropping your bucket in a well that has been dried up.
