Perfection simply isn’t possible for anyone. Keep telling yourself this when you feel like you’re not doing a perfect job, and remind yourself that all that’s required of you is that you do your best. No more. You can’t hit a home run every time at bat, so why are you holding yourself to an impossible standard? If you’re down right now, that doesn’t mean you have to stay down. Your successes aren’t based on luck. They’re based on your abilities.

Some good things are worth waiting for. If you feel like your dating life has stalled, don’t fret. Your patience will be rewarded. Things will start to get exciting again very soon.

Romance doesn’t always have to mean grand gestures. Let your gentle words and small kindnesses create an atmosphere that encourages and celebrates love.

Don’t worry, your entire routine will go out the window shortly. All you need to do is muster the stamina to deal with dull, boring same old, same old for another week or two at the most. Then you’ll get the break from routine your heart and soul so desperately needs and deserves. Hang in there.
