When you believe no one’s suitable anymore for long term commitment, that’s what your dating experiences will serve you.

When you believe good things happen to others but not yourself, that’s the experiences you make in your life.

Nothing is about the external circumstances, it’s about your inner belief. You automatically filter out everything that isn’t aligned with the identify you entertain day by day, even if it is EXACTLY what you deeply desire to have but not believe to be able to get.
