I was listening to an interesting conversation that a couple was having. The woman was asking her man why women were drawn to attractive men that were entertainers like singers, band members, etc. and talking about why they thought that they would have a chance at marrying them if they went to one of the entertainer’s shows or got near the person in some way. The man responded by saying that we get told when we are younger of the prince and the princess and how the prince saves the princess. In a hypothetical situation, they went on to talk and debate about a woman believing that if she showed that she was special in some way that the man would be instantly attracted to her. They also debated about why she’d think that she’d have a chance with someone extremely desirable that didn’t know her to begin with.

Women want to feel special like princesses and sometimes family members will feed into this idea that the girl when she is younger is special to them, but when reality hits growing up and she has issues in love or feeling that she isn’t, she can spiral down into depression, substance abuse, addiction or anger.

There’s many examples of childhood stars growing up that experience extreme disillusion and disconnection from reality. At one moment, they felt special and adorned with love, abundance, money and gifts… the next moment, everything is gone. In these stories from childhood of how the prince makes the princess feel special and how the princess finds the prince or how the prince finds the princess, we can form pre-conceived notions of how our lives are supposed to go in love. If things don’t turn out exactly the way that we had anticipated, we can feel unloved and devalued.

Stories are stories. They can be fun or interesting to us, but we need to know that we have the power to ultimately create our own stories. Our own stories can be more fun and interesting than the ones that we’ve heard of if we allow ourselves to take control and responsibility of our lives and allow life to unfold!

Analyzing and understanding our beliefs in order to change them is essential to creating positive change. I worked with my private Facebook group to give them an exercise to set new beliefs in their love lives and it was wonderful to give them that transformational tool in order to change their love mindset.

Sometimes we can form beliefs from childhood or while we are growing up that conflict with getting the results in love that we ultimately want.

In this adult life, we should make sure that the stories and beliefs that we carried when we were younger don’t interfere with the story we are creating in the present right now. Awareness and enlightenment to transcend past the older versions of ourselves is the only answer to reach what we would ultimately like to receive in love.

We can still love stories from our childhood, but we don’t have to let past stories or childhood beliefs get in the way of the future that we want to create. Awareness of ourselves and what is allowing us to take or not to take action is the key in what we need to change.
