If you constantly experience negative experiences, it is time to look in the mirror.  In essence, when someone is not willing to look at their part in a situation, the situation will continue to manifest over and over. The circumstances may change, the people may change, the location may change, but the essence remains the same. In order for something to change outwardly, we must change inwardly.&#8221;</p>

I’ve come to believe the reason we’re so anxious to hide this desire is our worry that nobody else wants approval—that we’re the only people who want to be liked and loved, and have anxiety about not getting those things.  Interestingly, when we recognize this desire is only human, we not only feel more secure about having it, but also begin to transcend it and feel freer to live the lives we want.&#8221;</p>

It&#8217;s one thing to wax philosophically about such things, but to be up close and personal with a large, healthy bear in his domain puts personal development ideas to the test in the real world.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Society seems to want to give you labels &#8211; how often do you get described as a widow and people turn and say &#8220;Oh I am so sorry, how are you, I feel sorry for you&#8221; Now obviously the concern is great but I think the label can be bad for you &#8211; Ilike to think of myself as someone who has been lucky enough to love and be loved, I have lost the person but not the<a href="http://www.blisstree.com/widowsquest/wp-admin/upload.php?style=inline&amp;tab=browse-all&amp;post_id=-1181739068&amp;_wpnonce=4a868c4a7c&amp;ID=184&amp;action=view&amp;paged=3" id="file-link-184" title="whitecloudinblacksky.jpg" class="file-link image"> 			 <img src="http://www.blisstree.com/widowsquest/files/2006/11/whitecloudinblacksky.thumbnail.jpg" title="whitecloudinblacksky.jpg" alt="whitecloudinblacksky.jpg" align="right" /></a> love rather than a woman who needs pity &#8211; comfort and understanding yes but not pity.</p>
<p>I think we should be careful about giving ourselves labels that can almost change the way you behave. I now describe myself as single and I notice how people are much more positive towards me. Especially as you grow towards wanting to meet other men, the label widow can be off putting, rightly or wrongly. I am proud to have loved, disappointed to have lost but I still have a heart capable of love and wanting to find happiness again.</p>
