Okay, so let me tell you about this crazy thing I tried – Operation “My Billionaire Husband.” Sounds nuts, right? Well, it was… kind of.
It all started when I was doom-scrolling one night, feeling super blah about my dating life. You know the feeling. Then I saw some article about ‘manifesting’ and thought, “What the heck, I’ve got nothing to lose.” So, I decided to get super specific.
First, I brainstormed. I mean really brainstormed. I didn’t just want a rich dude, I wanted a billionaire. And not just any billionaire, but one who was, like, actually a good person. So I sat down and wrote out a list of everything I wanted: kind, smart, funny (duh), ambitious, generous, and, of course, filthy rich. I even added details like “enjoys travel” and “good at parallel parking” (priorities, people!).
Next, I visualized. Every night before bed, I’d close my eyes and imagine myself with this guy. We’d be laughing, traveling the world, doing cool stuff. I tried to make it as real as possible in my head. I even made a vision board with pictures of things I associated with the lifestyle I imagined – fancy hotels, private jets, you know, the works. I know, I know, it sounds totally ridiculous, but I was committed!
Then came the action. I figured I couldn’t just sit at home and wait for Mr. Moneybags to magically appear. So, I started going to places where I thought I might actually meet someone like that. I joined a fancy wine club, volunteered at a charity gala, even took a private flying lesson (okay, that was more for me, but you never know!).
The real kicker was when I started changing my own mindset. I realized I was subconsciously sabotaging myself by thinking I wasn’t good enough for someone like that. So, I started focusing on my own self-worth. I started working out, eating healthier, reading more, and generally just trying to become the best version of myself. Basically, I started acting like I was already living that high-roller lifestyle, even though I was definitely not.
Did I snag a billionaire? Nope. But here’s the crazy part: I did meet someone. He’s not a billionaire, or even close, but he is kind, smart, funny, and ambitious. He’s a successful entrepreneur, and he’s incredibly generous with his time and affection. And you know what? He’s way better than the billionaire I imagined. I learned that chasing a fantasy wasn’t it, but becoming the best version of myself actually worked.
So, the “My Billionaire Husband” experiment was a bust in the traditional sense, but it taught me a valuable lesson: focus on being the kind of person you want to attract, and the right person will eventually come along. Plus, I got to drink a lot of expensive wine and take a cool flying lesson, so I’d say it was a win overall!
- Brainstorming: Writing down all the qualities and traits I desired.
- Visualization: Imagining myself in a relationship with this ideal person.
- Action: Putting myself in situations where I might meet someone like that.
- Mindset Shift: Working on my own self-worth and becoming the best version of myself.
