Yes, this is indeed a great article. It is SOOOO very easy to get discouraged once your high hopes aren’t met. I’ve been through that negative mindset of thinking, “Well, this is just the way things will always be for me. Might as well get used to it. I just have bad luck.” But no, this kind of thinking only leads to defeat. The way I see it, someone who really wants change in their life will go that extra mile until they attain what it is they want. No matter how many letdowns or lost opportunities, it’s important to know that you will find something/someone you like eventually. And the really positive aspect of continuously going through the search and taking risks is that you’re gaining practice and experience until you find what’s perfect for you. Thanks for writing this article and reminding us how important it is to stay positive and persistent. This is something helpful and relatable for practically everyone.

Wow! I was just thinking of this very topic today! How many times have I been fired up by happening on a ‘good’ man only to be disappointed. I was just thinking of the ‘jerk’ and the ‘nice guy’ who I met since this year who just fizzled to nothing. The former I dropped, the latter is still my ‘friend’. However, everytime we make an arrangement to hang out together he calls at the last minute with an excuse. Last week was a case in point….on the appointed day (I was so fired up about how we would have such a great time hanging out) he called at the last minute to say he had to have dinner with his parents. I thought the excuse lame but this time I was determined to let it roll off my back. Now I have another guy in my sights and just today I was thinking….don’t get excited, it will end the way all the others have…crushing disappointment. So I was so glad to read your article which reminded me I should never give up hope. Yes indeed God is in control and true love is just around the corner…..How is that for optimism!

Iam so happy I read this. It brings back lots of memories. You do need to keep looking. What you want is out there somewhere, you just need to find it no matter what you looking for. I’ve been looking for 2 years now, Iam not giving up. I know when I find it, it will be worth while.

I guess I really needed to read this. I have been looking for a job for awhile now. I went yesterday to apply and things looked good. But, after reading your article I realized that I shouldn’t get my hopes up about it. If it is truly what God has for me, then it will all bo okay. But as Rita said, if God closes the door, then He will have something better for me. He can open doors of opportuniy that no man can close. And I guess that’s the same in relationships and with a home/apartment. Thank you for your words of inspiration.

What a great e-mail!! I have been knocked back so many times over the last few years. Relationships, houses, jobs and sometimes I feel like giving up. Each time your knocked back, you emerge stronger and more wise. I wondered how many times I could pick myself up, but I have done, and dusted myself down and got back on track. We do tend to think other peoples lives are better than ours, everyone has knock backs, it’s up to you if your going to be a victim or a survivor!!!

It’s great to be optimistic and to think positive. I do believe that when one door closes in our face, God has something better awaiting us just around the bend. We just have to keep the faith, and keep pressing on. Good luck!
