You should not deliberately ignore anything to end your attraction
towards something or someone, otherwise you will be pulled more

towards it. You will have to attach yourself to something else so that
you can detach yourself from the first. You can indulge in any
positive habit or any passion, or you can do any activity which gives
you tremendous amount of joy. This will help you to discover

every right to marry the person of their choice. You will not be able to
fulfill their wishes If you remain unemployed and incapable. The best
would be to get involved in such relations only when you have

established yourself, so that you can provide for yourself, your
partner and your parents in their old age.

Be committed towards your goals and don’t get affected by anything
too easily. When your commitment towards your goal turns into your
passion, all other peripheral things lose their importance

automatically.

Remember, you must stay healthy and energetic to work towards
your goal. Stop deteriorating your health and wasting your energy for
something which is not your priority. You can understand the
quintessence of a relationship in your life only during the time of
struggle. If your attraction towards someone motivates you, helps

you directly and indirectly, and keeps you positively moving towards
