This is a particular scenario that happens a lot among women, and it usually gets a lot of ladies worried — when all their friends are getting married and they aren’t even close to that.
This kind of situation could strike up a lot of feelings among women — fear of being lonely, fear of being old, lots of thinking and in some cases, jealousy.
So what can one do when found in this situation?
1. FEEL HAPPY FOR YOUR FRIENDS
Be genuinely happy for your friends; don’t give jealousy, envy and fear a minute to settle in your heart. You could easily become a monster when you let these traits step in.
2. DON’T START COMPARING YOURSELF OR YOUR RELATIONSHIP
When all your friends are getting married and you aren’t, it shouldn’t be a time when you compare your relationships. Women tend to do this and then live their lives under pressure; but this wouldn’t take you anywhere.
3. IT SHOULDN’T BE ABOUT GETTING MARRIED
The goal of many women is just to get married. Not to find love, not to find happiness, not to find an understanding partner — but just to get married. Don’t let this become your goal because all your friends are getting married.
4. LIVE YOUR LIFE
When you let something as small as this get you worried and worked up, you would lose yourself in the process. Don’t let this stop you from becoming who you are and living your life.
5. THERE IS NO DEADLINE
It’s not a race of who first gets there is the best to get there. There is no deadline to getting married, and there’s no deadline to finding a wonderful partner.
6. KEEP LIVING AND IMPROVING
Keep living your life and improving yourself. Better yourself each day and strive for what is right for you. Don’t let the fact that your friends are getting married stop you from being a better version of yourself, each day.
7. SEEK HAPPINESS
Find happiness with yourself, your friends, your family, your passion and your hobbies. Don’t let other people’s marriage steal your happiness.
Would you rather have it that your friends don’t get married just to make you feel better? I don’t think so too.
