As we forge our own paths in life, we’re going to meet different people. Some of those individuals, however, might not have your best interests at heart. You might even find yourself in a relationship with the WRONG man.
Believe me, been there and done that…
In my podcast, I talk about how instead of playing the victim, I looked inward and realized what I could be doing instead…
Here’s how I picked myself up and got back on track.
Figuring Out You’re Dating The Wrong Man
Back when I was still in the dating scene (in my pre-Grant years, as I like to call it)…
I felt like I was dating the wrong man non-stop.
The men I would date ranged from cheaters to drug addicts, to men who simply held me down to keep themselves up high…
During this time, I was firm in my belief that I was a strong, independent woman who could get by all by herself. I didn’t need a relationship, nor did I want to be in one….
I DIDN’T NEED ANYONE TAKING CARE OF ME, MUCH LESS A BOYFRIEND.
But I was even MORE steadfast in my belief that all that men were good for was being unfaithful and holding me back from who I wanted to be.
Eventually, I got tired of being hurt and taken for granted over and over again.
That’s when I started thinking…
Maybe I had been unintentionally inviting the wrong man into my life. Maybe it was me all along.
But of course, that realization wasn’t easy to admit at the time.
Looking Inwards
After being let down again and again, I realized that maybe my own beliefs and behaviors have been attracting the “wrong man” into my life.
Think about it…
If I gave off an I-don’t-need-you-for-anything attitude…
Who wants to be with that girl?
WHO DOESN’T WANT TO FEEL NEEDED?
In my introspection, I realized that I was casting this kind of man to fulfill my right-ness about how wrong they were.
The hardest part was asking myself to be open to the possibility of being wrong.
There are 8 billion people on the planet!
LOGICALLY SPEAKING, THERE’S NOT A CHANCE THAT ALL MEN ARE AS BAD AS I MADE THEM OUT TO BE.
Once I started realizing it was my stubborn beliefs keeping me in relationships with “the wrong man”…
I was ready to level up…
Challenge my core ideals…
And get started building my empire.
Moving Forward
Relationships are not easy, I know that for a fact.
But they’re much harder when you let yourself believe that every man is out to get you.
Once you confront your deepest values…
You’ll realize that it was never the wrong man actually holding you back…
And you can move forward, building the life and relationships you deserve.
Build an Empire,
Elena Cardone
