You definitely encourage me to continue my work. I greatly appreciate you taking a moment to bless me with those
words. I think we all enjoy a positive word or two. Positive words build us up and make us want to do more so that more positive words follow.
Words are powerful, edifying, and therapeutic. Here is one of my favorite quotes:
"Pleasant words are a honeycomb; sweet to the soul and healing to the bones." Solomon's book of Proverbs chapter 16 verse 24
Now, back to you my friend. You said a few things that I want to address. You are over fifty (50) and in search of "true love." You are at a point in your life where you'd like to settle down with someone but you're having trouble locating someone who is on the same wave-length. Don't lose hope simply because it hasn't happened yet. View this as an opportunity to examine yourself to determine WHY this is the case. Maybe this in a chance for you to modify yourself physically, mentally, or emotionally. Whenever you are unable to solve a perceived problem, you must change the formula!
You say you have a lot to offer someone. But there has to be balance. You need to connect with someone who has just as much to offer you [on multiple levels]. If you pour yourself [figuratively] into someone and all they can do is receive without the ability to replenish you, that's imbalanced and a formula for consistent failure. You will constantly be drained and eventually you will wither away, because nobody is giving you light and water to help strengthen your roots as you are doing for others.
You don't have to wait until the next lifetime. You just have to assess the situation and make changes on your side so that you'll have what you want in this lifetime. Do better now because the "next lifetime" isn't guaranteed. Live in the present moment without writing it off as "their" problem; whoever those people are. It'll only be sad if you let things continue as they have without making changes in your life. Great people exist. You'll find each other and the problem will solve itself. However, if you don't change the formula you've been using, nothing will change and you definitely don't want that. Much love and respect to you!
From my lips to your soul...
