The royal wedding of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry was truly a beautiful spectacle that deservingly made history for a variety of reasons.
However, if you tuned into the wedding and felt jealous or down while viewing it because Meghan Markle was marrying a prince, there’s an issue that needs to be discussed: if you’re jealous that someone else married a prince and not you, then it’s time to do a little housekeeping with your love life.
It’s natural to envy someone else’s good fortune, but if you’re with your true love then nothing can ever make you desire someone else’s life, even if that person married an English prince.
The biggest problem you may be facing when it comes to your love life is that you’re actively looking for Mr. Right.
As harmless as this may seem, actively looking for a partner actually blinds you in a lot of ways. If you’re always surveying potential men and scanning them with your “husband material” radar, you will be less likely to find flaws with whatever man you might find yourself with and more likely to wrongly convince yourself that he’s a perfect being sent from above.
By actively searching for true love, a part of you is desperate to know what it feels like and so you’re more likely to head down a doomed and disappointing path with a dozen Mr. Wrongs.
Was Meghan Markle on the hunt for a man when her prince came and swooped her up on his theoretical white horse? Hell no, ladies.
Meghan was living life, pursuing her career goals and lifelong dreams when fate decided that it was time her soul mate found her.
Love isn’t a hunt, and you’re not looking for a catch. If you were, then you could catch just about anything, such as rats and snakes.
Love is more like having a really good dream. There you are, doing your own thing just falling asleep, and the next moment all these happy thoughts hit and you’re having one of the best dreams you ever had. You have no idea how you just happened to have that amazing dream, but you did and it was out of your control.
Another housekeeping tip, for those already in relationships, make sure you’re truly happy and not just comfortable and settling.
Life is too short to waste your time, and quite frankly, waste your partner’s time if you’re just in the relationship because you’ve been in it a while. You’re comfortable or sick of waiting so you end up settling.
If you are jealous of the actress turned duchess marrying Prince Harry, then do yourself a favor and really evaluate your relationship.
Do you feel loved? Are you happy? Could you imagine life without him?
True love doesn’t just exist in movies, for celebrities, or even for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. True love is out there and it will find you if only you give it the chance.
Waiting for “the one” can be scary and nerve-racking, but it will be worth it when you experience real love with the one you're meant to spend forever with.
Snow White got one thing right, someday your prince will come. Just give him the chance to find you.
