Finding the Guardian of Your Soul

Surrender to the Process: Dating is a Journey Not a Battle


Listen Later

What You’ll Hear In This Episode:

  • We are often disappointed when the people we are dating don’t meet our expectations, but we have to surrender to the process and realize we are not entitled to have them follow our unwritten rules.
  • Lisa sees many parallels with the 12 Step Program and the dating process.
  • What does it mean to surrender to the process?  Knowing that we can’t control every aspect or outcome, incompatibility does not equal failure, and resistance is counterintuitive.
  • Trusting the process can be scary, but there is no other way to gain wisdom and experience without going through it.
  • We can’t let the voice of insecurity or pride write our stories; our attitude and our reactions can change the entire outcome.
  • It’s important to remember the dating process is a journey.  Have you thought about why you are dating?
  • Our best version of ourselves will attract the best people; acting with authenticity and genuinely from the heart is the only approach.
  • Every single person can benefit from the perspective of a third party mentor or coach to help them grow.
  • Investing in dating will pay out in dividends in so many facets of life from adding years to your lifespan, increasing your income level, and more.

  • “As you surrender to the process, the beauty of this is you’re letting this process teach you.”
  • “The dating process is actually a journey.” 
  • “Every date is a stepping stone to love.”
  • “You’re not finding the right man, you're becoming the woman that you need to be to attract the man you’ve been dreaming of.”
