'People don’t knock on our doors to find us, but they will spot us if we’re doing what we love,'
'We’ll be surrounded by people who are interesting and interested in us. A person doing what he or she loves is someone everyone wants to meet. Your future beloved will find you fascinating because you will find your life fascinating.'
Write it down.
'When I start feeling lonely, and if the weather is not good for pool-site, I get my laptop out and start to write my journal and start writing.'

'Prayer is wonderful because it will remind you of what you already know and possess,' says Dean again, 'that God loves you the way you are and that you are never alone' — which may be just the kind of comfort you need when those lonely moments come over you
