Ep. 186 | Why You Can't Get Good at Love by Waiting for the Right Person
from The Daily Ascent · host Molly Carmel
I hadn't been on a date in seven months, and those were good months. I wasn't hiding, I just wasn't called to it. Then, packing for a few weeks in the mountains, a quiet thought arrived: maybe I could date a little there. See what I'm even like dating as this person, because I've done a lot of work and I'm not who I once was. So I did some love cardio. Three hours, a wonderful man who lives a few states away, no expectations at all. And I called my friend from the car and said, this guy is an omen. The good things are coming for me, I can feel it. It wasn't the whole meal. It was a foretaste. Today's reading is from The Game of Life and How to Play It by Florence Scovel Shinn, on the "signs of land" that always arrive before the thing you're waiting for. This is an episode about why we refuse to practice the things we most want to be good at, and how to recognize a taste of what's coming when it shows up. Question to carry into your day: What have you been calling nothing that might actually be a taste of what's coming? Want to work together? Me too!
