What Is Meant for You Will Find You

A note to young leaders.

Recently, a young leader told me that he felt pangs of sadness when a former girlfriend he dearly loved got married.

He’s still looking for his soul mate and wondered why she hasn’t yet entered into his life.

Here’s what I told him:

“Be grateful for the love you shared with her.

Keep projecting your passions and interests into the world with goodwill and good cheer – and pray a little, if you can – and the right soul will be magnetised towards you.

Love will flow in, if you let love flow out.”

One of my favourite songs is Julio Iglesias’ “Love Has Been A Friend To Me”. The song reminds us that if we honour all love’s visitations, it makes only one promise – it will find us again.

Perhaps our greatest misconception about love is that we think we find it. In truth, love finds us.

It’s less interested in our longing than in our readiness.

The question is never whether love will come again. The question is whether your heart will be open when it does.
