Every part of your life is exciting at whatever stage you happen to be in.

Age doesnt matter, relationship status doesnt matter.

Last night I went on a double date.

My roommate and I met these guys over the weekend and were getting dinner in West Hollywood.

We were the first to arrive, so the hostess walked my roommate and I over to the table.

We told him we were waiting for two more and gave the hostess their names.

He asked us if we knew the guys we were meeting.

We said, not really, we just met them the other day.

He said,Wow I miss those days.

I have a girlfriend now.

His words really got me thinking.

If I was in a relationship right now, this dinner date wouldnt be happening.

But I am single and I am fully focused on myself.

When youre single, it may be easier to focus on what you dont have.

Its easy to get caught up in the tornado of comparing yourself to others.

You focus on what is seemingly missing from your life.

Its always going to be easier to focus on the negative.

Flirt with the waiter.

Im convinced this is what has led to an increase of lying, cheating, and divorce.

So, stop focusing on what you dont have and focus on all that you do have.

Every part of your life is exciting at whatever stage you happen to be in.

Age doesnt matter, relationship status doesnt matter.

Be present, because each moment is precious, unique, and too short.
