Stop fighting & embrace singleness

Recently I've decided to stop fighting this state I'm in and begin to "embrace" my singleness. I know I need to stop running from what I don't like and instead ask God for the bigger picture. I'm striving to stop fighting this season I'm in and learn what God would have me learn. That means I also need to embrace the good things he's blessed me with and stop taking them for granted. Does that mean I suddenly like being alone? No. But it does mean I'm learning to embrace those alone times and see what God has in store for me while I'm here.

He's been working patience, joy, and kindness into my life. I've realized this is my time to get involved and outreach and to learn to trust God with my doubt and discouragement.

The way to be happy is to invest in others. “The key to a life of misery and loneliness is simply to do this one thing: seek to please yourself. In this day and age of self-help, self-esteem and self-promotion, it seems radical, even heretical, to tell people to focus on someone other than themselves. Giving is meeting the needs of others on a practical level. Do you seek to serve and meet the needs of your friends and family members? Do you ask, ‘What can I give to this friendship?’ and not merely, ‘What can I get from it?’ Get outside of yourself and start giving to others around you. You will be amazed how much your own life will be enriched in the process.”
