What Can We Learn from Carrie Bradshaw?

“Don’t forget to fall in love with yourself first.”
Probably each of us have friends who are always complaining about their life: “She doesn’t deserve this job!” “She’s such a mouse, and her BF looks like Brad Pitt.” “They’re traveling abroad every year and I still can’t afford this.” or simply – “Why not me?” I’m sure you’ve voiced the same questions at one time or the other. – So, really why? The secret is – you can work incredibly hard, you can go on dates every night, you can even read a thousand clever books but it won’t make any difference if you don’t love yourself or don’t believe in yourself before all else! Rule of thumb here, Girl Friend: Don’t concern yourself with what you are doing – concern yourself about knowing WHO YOU ARE!

“It wasn’t l ogic, it was love.”
Admit it. When you’re in love you can’t control yourself. No matter how hard you try to be careful and calm every moment, you can end up being foolish. And there is nothing wrong with this. Just let love take control and take you away.

After all, computers crash, people die, relationships fall apart. The best we can do is breathe and reboot.

It’s the gift of destiny when you find someone you can love your whole life through.
You need to be passionate; you think you’ve found your true love – Mr. Right, but
sooner or later (in a week, in a month or even in a few years) you begin to understand
that this isn’t your soul mate anymore, the feelings simply have disappeared. So, breathe
deeply and do not stop searching… Reboot!

“When I first moved to New York I bought VOGUE instead of dinner. I just felt it fed me more.”
A woman is constantly in demand for both her job and her family (or her relationships). And it makes her happy. But it’s also important she has something in her life just for herself. It can be knitting, reading, singing or even learning a foreign language; something that feeds her psyche, increases self-esteem and enlarges the happiness quotient.

“Single and fabulous, exclamation point!”
Your heart is broken and all you want to do is to lie in your bed, eating chocolate candies and suffering proudly. But try to think clearly. You’re not the person whose lost here. Realize, there was a man who once was a part of your life, but he didn’t love you and now he’s gone away. You gained your freedom, and an opportunity to find your new one and only. Just don’t give up this chance!

“Maybe the past is like an anchor holding us back.”
Do you remember how many times you tried to start a new life – to quit the job you’re unhappy with and start traveling; to move to the big city because it offers more opportunities or even to break up with your boyfriend because you know deep down that the love is already gone. But every time you’ve tried to make these changes your past fears rise up and hold you back. You just need to realize that some things and people are best left in the past, along with your anxieties and regrets… then pack your shit and get out of there!

“I’d like to think that people have more than one soul mate. If you miss one, along comes another. Like cabs.”
Most of us believe that each person on the Earth has a soul mate, and all we need to do is to be patient and wait for the meeting with your one and only. But what if you miss this meeting? What then – you’ll be all alone for the rest of your life? Isn’t it better to believe that people have more than one soul mate they might connect with? And when somehow you’ve missed one of your soul mates, you always have a chance to meet another one sooner than you think.

“When real people fall down in life, they get right back up and keep walking.”
We all have failed at least once. It doesn’t matter if your heart is broken or your carrier is destroyed. You need to relax, chill out and keep walking. Don’t let the failure define your future.

“They say nothing lasts forever. Dreams change, trends come and go, but friendships never go out of style.”
My dear, it doesn’t matter that you are in a relationship right now or that you’re single – you should always remember your close friends are the biggest treasure you have. There are your parents and your friends who are gonna love you just the way you are: With all your shortcomings and oddities – with all your personality “warts”.

“Some love stories aren’t epic novels, some are short stories. But that doesn’t make them any less filled with love.”
Every girl’s biggest desire is to find her real love. It doesn’t matter who you love or how you love, but it’s important that you just love!
