Love: Are you motivated by fear and led by your ego?


Let’s face it sometimes the world of love and relationships can be a total nightmare.  Where you find yourself going from one relationship drama to another, attracting the same kind of man dressed up in a different outfit.  Whilst everyone around you is getting it right, getting married and having babies you are left trying to work out where the hell that you are going wrong.  You spend your days pondering on what went wrong in the previous relationship and your nights with your girlfriends berating and blaming your ex.  However, much of the time the drama lies within and it is only by going within that you get to the heart of the problem.  In essence you have to be the person that you want to attract.

You see much of the time when you are seeking love it can be executed with an air of desperation, as you bow down to the pressure to settle down before your biological clocking stops ticking.  It can also become annoying and embarrassing to always be the bridesmaid but never the bride.  All of these scenarios and others like them can instil a fear within you: A fear that often becomes your main motivator in love.  The problem with this is that the fear leads you to look for love in all the wrong places; attracting men just like your ex or men that are not ready to commit. All of these things are symptoms of being led by fear and the ego, rather than by being led by love and your authentic self. 

Learning to identify whether or not you are being motivated by fear and led by the ego in love and relationships is key to attracting the love you desire into your life.  So, let’s identify and demystify some of those illusions that our ego tends to feed us whilst we are navigating our way along the pathway of love…….

Looking for someone special
Er, hello you have already met someone special.  You are special. 
So, often in love we put the other person on a pedastool.  In fact when you say that you are searching for someone special you are putting that person on a pedestal before you have even met them.  This not only puts you under a lot of pressure but also the other person who has to live up to their “special” label.  Hardly fair is it? 

The truth is there is no such thing as someone “special” because we are all equally special or as un-special as each other.  This “special” label is nothing but an ideal reinforced in the movies and romantic novels.  An ideal that your ego grabs hold of and rolls with, leading you to think that in finding this special person you will be complete.  You are already as amazing as you are and you do not need another person to complete you.

It’s his fault
The fear based mind never takes responsibility for their actions.  When the shit hits the fan it is always the other person’s fault.  The problem with this is that you negate to see the repetitive behaviours that are leading you to continually pick the wrong guy or go back to the ex who is soooooo wrong for you. 

At some point you have to take responsibility for your own actions because it is only by doing so that you can begin to identify what you need to change in order to have happier and more fulfilling relationships.  So, take the time to take a look back on past relationships and identify those limiting beliefs, actions and behaviours that you played out.   Then you need to let it go, recognise that it happened and make a commitment to yourself that you will not let these habits, for that is what they are hold you back in love.  It will take a lot of conscious effort but it will be worth it and could be the difference between Valentines’ Day coupled up or single.

You don’t have to control everything
When you really, really want something, such as a romantic partner you do everything within your power to make it happen.  That guy you met on a night out with the smelly breath and bad shoes suddenly has ‘potential’ because he has all the other qualities that you are looking for in a romantic partner.  You begin to convince yourself that Mr Red-Herring is potential that romantic partner that you seek.  No, no, no!  Stop right there!  The best thing you can do as a single woman is release all control over your love life to God, the Angels or the Universe (whatever it is that you believe in). 

By exerting control in this area of your life you are being led by your ego and, most likely, motivated by your fear rather than love.  When you are motivated by love you trust in God and you believe that He will bring the right man into your life at the right time. 

Be the love you want to attract
It is likely that you would have heard this a million times before.  But it is true that you have to be the person that you want to attract into your life.  The reason for this is down to the Law of attraction which states that what you put out you get back.  If you are putting out an energy that is laced with fear and anxiety then you will attract men into your life who resonate on this vibration.  When you feel good and are operating from a place of love the energy you are putting out is positive.  If you want a healthy and loving relationship, you need to be having this relationship with yourself already.

Ok, so taking these steps isn’t going to make the right romantic partner magically appear in front of you, after all I’m a psychic not a Fairy Godmother.  However, these steps can pave the way for you to have a more positive relationship with yourself.  Operate as your authentic self and draw in the right romantic partner into your life at the right time.  So, if you are alone this Valentines’ Day give yourself the gift of beginning the process of releasing yourself from the clutches of your ego and fear based mind.  Happy Valentine’s Day!
