    You Don't Attract Better People Until You Become the Standard

    #368: If you often find yourself quietly wishing that you could meet more likeminded friends or potential partners, this episode will resonate. Often times, we are complaining about the dating pool or how hard it is to meet people, but the very honest truth, is that majority of the time, it is simply a reflection of where we are currently at. The standards you hold yourself to, are the same standards others will meet you at. People with higher standards? They probably will not have the space or capacity to hold space for yours, especially when it comes to living better, having more discipline, staying on track with personal finances, etc. We meet people where they are at and vice versa. If one is "above" or "below" or the way I see it, simply in different rooms, it's hard to actually merge together in some sort of genuine connection. What you will learn: Why you're struggling to meet a likeminded potential partnerHow your way of living is reflected in your daily energy and auraBlaming external problems still won't solve the root of the obstacleThe relevance of having high level friends and how it's easier to meet through those mutual friendsReality of attracting people that are "equal" to you in many ways BILT Credit Card Info (Pay Rent and Earn Points): https://bilt.page/r/HQ06-ZV7O Receive weekly personal insights from Emily's email newsletter and subscribe here Watch Full Episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@whatfulfillsyou/videos ENJOY 10% OFF THE WHAT FULFILLS YOU?
