It’s Ok To Be Single

"There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under the heavens” - Ecclesiastes 3:1   Singleness can be seen as a bad thing and may even cause you to be stigmatized; but it can be a gift if you understand its possibilities and what you can accomplish.     Singleness is not a failure, it's an opportunity. Most people are unaware of the fact that being single can help you fulfill your purpose. Without understanding your purpose, you can go through life without a clear reason for what you should be doing, causing you to settle and live beneath your worth. This season in your life can be the turning point needed to uncover the recipe for your success.   There are amazing benefits to being single. You can use the time to find out the reason why you were born and know the pathway to achieve that reason. And you can have your own identity and not become a carbon copy of someone else.
