Question: Dear Doc KC,
I’ve been a single woman for over 4 years now after ending a 5 year marriage. I’ve dated since then, but only frogs and I’m really ready to meet my prince. What advice might you have to give me? Anything would be appreciated. Thanks so much. I trust you so much!
1. Loving yourself is the key to accomplishing goals and creating healthy relationships. High self worth gives you the confidence you need to take the right chances and to make the right choices for what is best for you in career, friendships, and love. It also helps you to avoid making the same bad decisions you may have made in the past. High self esteem allows you to feel good about yourself and feel happy. When you’re happy, it often radiates to all those around you. People tend to gravitate towards and like happy and positive people. Smile at someone and watch as they just naturally smile back.
2. After that comes attitude and frame of mind. Your attitude and the way you approach life and treat others will determine the way your life turns out and the people that find their way to you. You can be positive or negative. Try them both and see the outcome. I believe that you’ll find staying positive no matter what obstacles get in your way will take you farther in the game of life. No, no one said it was easy, but just do it anyway. When something or someone annoys you, try to laugh it off. Surround yourself with people who have positive healthy attitudes.
3. Lastly, believing is key. To truly believe that you will accomplish what you set out to do and find the person with whom you were meant to be is so important to seeing it all come true. Patience, persistence and believing will ultimately be what gets you what you want. Keep a good support system around you of people who believe in you and your goals. Don’t let others pull you down or think you’re selfish because there is something that you want for YOUR life. There is room for everything and everyone as long as you make that time. Those that love you unconditionally will understand.
All my best,
Dr. KC

10|Nov|2008 1Doc’s advice is sound as always. You need to make sure you are healthy so you attract a healthy person. I would also add to go to the places that support the kind of person you are looking for. If you don’t want to marry a drinker, then don’t go to a bar. If you want to marry a spiritual person, then go to where the people who engage in your kind of spirituality worships. Join clubs that support your passions and maybe you’ll meet someone with similar passions. It doesn’t hurt to put yourself in places where you can be seen. Mr. Right will probably not be knocking on your door unless you’ve met him somewhere and he now knows where you live!
Good Luck!

12|Nov|2008 4Doc, I read all your posts, but this one is so well explained I will print it and keep it to reread often. I think your words describe the only possible way to live.
I have experimented smiling at people. Makes me feel good and the smiles I get back from strangers often makes my morning or afternoon.
My Mom always told me I will not find Mr Right in my living room. Again, I could not agree with you more. Keep your feet moving and with the right positive attitude you can move mountains. ( and will meet Mr.Right)
No one can make you happy, you must make yourself happy first.
A happy person, as you say, attracts happy people. A downer person can have their choice. Be alone or attract another downer. The way I see it, not much of a choice.
And so my dear Doctor, I commend you on this great post. I do have one question I hope you will answer for me. My question is, are these the principals by which you personally live? I bet the answer is YES.
Dr. KC
12|Nov|2008 5Dear Elizabeth,
You are very very wise and so is your mother! Keep up the healthy attitude always and to answer your question, I am human, but do my best on a daily basis to always practice what I preach!
Thank you so much for your comment and keep on smiling!
All my best,
Dr. KC

13|Nov|2008 6First I must comment that K.C. you do more than practice what you preach… you set examples, express concern, show compassion, give of your wonderful heart….. yes, you are human, yet you are an incredible human being…..
I agree with this post so very much…. especially the part that if you do not LOVE yourself, you can not have love come into your life…. like attacks like as you said….. when i am in a crazy mood, a good crazy, in the store singing, the response i get around people is great… they smile, you can feel their energy rise….. from your energy, you can affect others….. just like if you do NOT want to be around negative behavior, be a part of it, not argue, you have a CHOICE not to respond… that disempowers the other person…. how can one respond to a positive when they being negative………..
when looking for “love”, i find that it just happens… when your outlook on life is good, it is AMAZING what travels into your life…. even if you tend to be a bit of a recluse like myself - writing etc….. what has come into my life has been unexpected and that is the greatest thing… have i found love, not yet….. WRONG SEX…… seem to attract men yet now i have men friends…. that is not bad……
i know when the time is right it will happen…. i do NOT LOSE HOPE on that… i have turned it over to Spirit (my belief system) and i know it will happen when it is supposed to….
THE MAIN THING is to LOVE YOURSELF…. TRULY LOVE YOURSELF…. NO DOUBTS….. i tooooooooooooooo am VERY HUMAN….. yet, due to “proper” medications now, my heavens, i feel as light as a feather…. the inbalance is gone, however, I HAVE TO REMEMBER, THAT IT IS I, IT IS I, that will make it happen….. inside…. no negative thinking…. (oh this will never happen), medication balances, it does not take away behaviors we have learned over a life time……
so, i have been changing my behaviors…. REALLY LOOKING AT MYSELF, changing what i do NOT like and it reflects on everything…. who comes into my life…. how i respond to life…. my creativitity…..
i have been single for A VERY LONG TIME now….. i had BEHAVIORS i had to change…. to LET GOOOOO for me was a big thing, let go of wanting my ex…. now we are best friends…. i couldn’t ask for better…. so behavior is key to me….. i do not want to repeat your article K.C., it said a lot….. THE KEY IS LOVE…..LOVING YOURSELF ON ALL…. ALL LEVELS…… and love will come into your life…. love has for me, just not a partner yet…… i am still grateful for what comes into my life…..
graditude also helps…. being grateful for what you have, who you are, what you are striving to be….. all these things mixed in the blender are a good recipe for love…..
THANK YOU FOR YOU POST….. THANK YOU FOR PUTTING YOURSELF OUT THERE FOR US WHEN YOU HAVE SUCH A BUSY LIFE GOING ON… THAT IS WHAT I MEAN BY YOUR HEART…. if we can follow K.C. example of how she lives, gives of herself FREELY (WANTING TO), you would be quite surprised as to what comes into your life……

15|Nov|2008 7I absolutely agree with Elizabeth and Raven this is a great post, Doc.
I also tried this. When I answer the phone I put a big happy smile on my face and I see that it is reflecting in my voice and the person calling senses it and returns it. So cool. I do it all the time now and get great responses.

16|Nov|2008 8Dear Raven Hawk,
Thank you so much for your extremely kind comment! I cannot truly express how much it means to me. I’m so happy that you have and are still learning to love yourself and you have committed to never giving up hope for the things that you want in your life. As I continue to get to know you, I find out more and more what an amazing person you are and what great insight you have into all the topics that are discussed here. You always have something great and meaningful to add and everything you contribute is greatly appreciated, not only by myself, but all my other readers. Thank you again.
Thank you for being the wonderful person you are.

16|Nov|2008 9Dear Diana,
I’m so glad you enjoyed this post. I often tell people to do just what you have shared here and it has amazing results. If you have a smile on your face, your voice automatically changes and the feelings you have inside also change. It’s a very interesting phenomenon. I encourage others to try it.
Thank you so much for mentioning and suggesting this. Great to hear from you!
All my best,
Dr. KC

23|Nov|2008 12Hello,
One thing my Mom always sad is never give up your girlfiends when a man comes into your life. And that is so true. Have patience girls, the right man is there. He will come through the door at the right time. The key is you must be ready to see him when he does. And, remember, your girlfrieds are here to stay. We are not too sure aobut the men we choose.

23|Nov|2008 13Do you recommend a dating site on line?
Doc KC
23|Nov|2008 14Dear Diana,
Thank you for your comment. Those are very wise words for women. It applies to men as well. I do see many people push their friends and even family aside when they find a love interest, only to end up hurting the people that were always there for them.
True friends and family will be there through the good and bad and that is how we know what is real.
And you are correct, the right person will find you when the time is right for both parties involved. I would say that’s just called fate…if you believe in that sort of thing.
All my best,
Dr. KC

23|Nov|2008 15Dear Elizabeth,
That is a very good question. People have to make their own choices as to what they are most comfortable doing. Some people love to meet people online, while others would not consider such a source. My opinion does not really matter, what matters is what makes each individual comfortable.
I always say, nothing ventured, nothing gained…as long as we do it wisely and safely.
All my best,
Dr. KC
