I don’t need a man I need myself
Several years ago I came to the conclusion that
- I don’t need the big house
- I don’t need the fancy car
In order to feel fulfilled, complete and at peace. Because I don’t NEED them, I can enjoy having them without the need to hold on to them.
Then in 2008 I came to the realization that I don’t NEED money….. again this took me to the same place. Now I know I can have money and as much of it as I like because whether I have it or not I can still feel fulfilled, complete and at peace (trust me I have experienced both ; having and not having.)
It is 2010 and what NEED am I giving up? Well, I have found another thing I don’t NEED and that is a man! I was always in a conversation that “I need a man” but now I realise I don’t NEED a man to feel fulfilled, complete and at peace and because I don’t NEED a man then I can enjoy being in relationship with one without needing him to “do stuff” for me.
When we stop needing stuff that is when we can truly enjoy having it in our life – without worrying about it disappearing and without being fearful of what will happen if we lose it.
So where does this feeling of being fulfilled, complete and peaceful come from – from myself – a deep connection to my soul! From an understanding that everything I need has already been provided and there is actually nothing I need. Plus if I do feel a need for it I know I can connect to my soul as the source.
Having this connection will stop you from feeling as if you really NEED to eat the whole packet of chocolate biscuits to feel better. Or that you really NEED to ring your ex boyfriend and invite him over for the night. It stops you from doing things that provide short term pleasure while denying you long term happines.
If you want to start your own journey of giving up the need for things and working towards a deeper connection to yourself and your soul (spirit, energy) Guy Finley has a great free personal development starter kit

I don’t need a man I need myself- loves it.

Hi Diane,
Just was looking around a bit, I like this, it is a good way to look at things. Maybe if your NEED things, you put to much pressure on NEEDED things….
Glad I found this
Take care

How true it is!!!!!
Women of all ages fail to realize that we DONT NEED TO HAVE A MAN IN OUR LIVES TO BE HAPPY. Just take a moment and look in the rearview mirror at our EX`s. Honestly do you remember the days and nights of hurt,pain, and brokenhearted??? We tend to cover those days with…when he brought you flowers or give empty apologizes that he`ll never hit or cheat on you again. And for most of us all the energy we place at a man`s feet,wont stop him from leaving you or changing negative ways. The day he leaves we should throw party with tears of joy!!! Instead of living life at ground level. Staying in control in the begining mid and end of your hear,t soul, spirit freedom, and destiny. His departure from your life will continue to COMPLETE YOU because YOU,ME,THEM,US!!!! WE ALL ARE COMPLETE WITHOUT A MAN BY OUR SIDE. SO DONT DARE CLAIM WHAT YOU NEED IN YOUR LIFE. IF YOU CANT HONESTLY BE FULFILLED ON YOUR OWN.
@Rhea : Definitely. Whenever we believe we “need” anything desperation seeps in and we end up chasing for something we never get. Only losing attachment to what we think we need helps overcome that.
@Serenity. Being fulfilled on our own is definitely a great self development goal to reach for and there is nothing better. But it doesn’t mean “being alone” or believing you don’t need anyone. We all need love and connection as basic human desires. The trouble occurs when we think we need to get that from someone else.
Thanks for the comments everyone. Keep them coming
