Don’t let any false modesty rob you of the right to be proud of what you’ve accomplished! Go on – demand (nicely) the praise you know you’re due. No one is going to fault you for it. Take a bow and bask in the knowledge that while you were a part of a team effort, this goal could not have been reached without you. You were the key ingredient. Being in touch with your importance is relevant to your entire day. You have a key role in the lives of many people.

Take action! The more you try, the better your chances of meeting someone great. Try the latest dating apps. If you can, join a group of people interested in your favorite hobby.

You deserve as much time as you want to reach the big decision that is facing you, so if your partner is pushing you too hard, tell them to back off. They might grumble, but it’s all for the best.

If children can have fun with sticks and pebbles, then you can certainly have a good time with your remaining toys. Take pleasure in the reminder that it’s quality, not quantity, that counts.
