Many have been longing and searching
everywhere even at the most obscure places for their missing rib. To some, the
rib they are missing has the qualities to complement or complete them. To
others, it is to fulfill social or religious obligations. Whatever the reason
is, have you found yours yet? Or you are contemplating whether your supposedly
found rib is really the one?
To my youth and teenagers, the
relationship status of being single is not a curse neither does it indicate you
are unloved. This is a very critical stage in your life which you should not be
in a hurry to avoid but rather make the most out of. Sometimes I wonder why we
hurry to be ‘bonded’ to someone while you can enjoy your freedom now?
Many people are so absorbed into finding someone to be all sort of things to them while they forget to find themselves; who they really are, what they are good at, what their values are, what they are passionate about and what truly matters to them? These factors culminate in what our purpose in life is.
The greatest and most important
adventure of our life is discovering who we really are. It is very important
you don’t get sidetracked in the pursuance of your purpose that your main goal
in life is finding that missing rib. No one other than yourself can give you
that enough time and attention to make up for the emptiness which needs to be
filled. Find yourself first!!!.
Get your acts together and have your values and standards settled. Your knowledge of who you are will help you to find the right partner to compliment you perfectly. “Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom” Aristotle.
Never fall in the trap of thinking that
finding your missing rib will eventually fulfill you, satisfy you or instill in
you a sense of worth. The only person who can do such is found whenever you
look in the mirror; that person is you.
Finding your missing rib won’t quench
your sexual lust either. A close walk with your maker does. Only Him can
satisfy fully every human need. Seek him first. Be sure your security is in him
because he never changes.
As you patiently wait for someone to
‘love’ you, make sure you love yourself first. Self-love is the prerequisite
for any healthy relationship. How you love yourself is how you teach others to
love you. Learn to love and appreciate yourself. Self-love does not make you
selfish or self-centered. It rather enables you to offer the best of yourself
to others.
When you love yourself it becomes easier for you to say no to people and things that don’t align with your values. It also prevents you from finding yourself in a position where you seek approval from others and going through all forms of sexual, mental, physical, and emotional abuse.
We live in an era where peers and social
media paint relationships or dating as everything there is to this life. But
there is more to this life than just that. Keep building yourself up. Explore
more of your uniqueness and talents. You too will find your missing rib.
