Love is hard to find

We all live in the hope of loving and being loved. There it is....very simple statement that is so true.

ears ago I went into business for myself, and I opened a dating service. It was different than anything out there at the time. Now there are systems built on the path that we established and research that we accomplished. Services like E-Harmony.com and Match.com with Dr. Phil. But then the concept that I put forward was totally new.

I got into it because I had gotten divorced and was having a tough time figuring out the dating game. I did a lot of research and the more I read and learned the more I found out that it is a miracle if anyone finds anybody.

And so it is today. Even when you think you have found someone....you may be wrong. And then another great truth I learned is reinforced. There is no love without pain.

liked and loved

I have a need to be liked and a need to be loved. In some ways it is a terrible weakness.

People will use both against you. People that you trust. People that you think like you. People that you think love you.

Why is it so important to me?

Today I was talking to someone in the music business, an artist. As a manager I am always on the lookout for a good artist. Gary Borman, manager for Faith Hill, James Taylor and others (A guy other managers would have to respect) said that the manager duties of being a manager aren't that tough...the tough part is finding the right talent to manage. I sure would agree with that.

Anyway I'm talking to this lady and I asked her if there was anything else she wanted to know about me, and she said, "no, I know some people who know you. Some of them said good things and some said bad things."

That has been a couple of hours ago and I can't get it out of my mind...how come???

I think I'm a good guy....I try to be. I don't claim I've never lied or never cheated in my life....but day in and day out....I try to be a good guy to treat people well. so it bothes me when people say bad things about me.

I wish I didn't care. But I do.
