We all know misery, defeat, and heartbreak.⁣ ⁣ You can let it define, destroy, or strengthen you. ⁣ ⁣ When going through hard times, always remember:⁣ ⁣ 1) Not all storms come to disrupt your life, some come to clear your path.⁣ ⁣ 2) Mindset is half the battle.⁣ ⁣ 3) Focus on what you can control, don’t waste energy on what you can’t.⁣ ⁣ 4) Choose to GROW through the experience, not simply GO through it.⁣ ⁣ 5) Courage doesn’t mean you don’t get afraid, courage means you don’t let fear stop you from moving forward. ⁣ ⁣ 6) Everything can and will change.⁣ ⁣ 7) There is always, always, always something to be thankful for.⁣ ⁣ 8) After you walk through the fire, you’ll leave sparks of light everywhere you go ???? ⁣ ⁣ Most importantly, remember you are not alone. Especially on social media, it’s easy to look around and see a bunch of people who seem to be doing just fine. They’re not. We’re all struggling in our own way.⁣ ⁣ I pray for your strength to endure ????????

Paul C Brunson is best known as one of the dating coaches on E4’s reality series Celebs Go Dating, which he joined in 2018.

The expert, who calls himself “the world’s most influential matchmaker”, runs his own matchmaking company, PCB Agency, has written a book about dating and co-hosted a matchmaking show with Oprah Winfrey called Lovetown. He has been married to his wife Jill since 2000 and the couple have two children together.

Speaking to The Mirror about his involvement on the show, he said: “I don’t think you can be a great matchmaker unless you’re confident that you can put together great matches, and we can. We are the all-stars of matchmaking.”

He added: “For the first time ever the UK is going to get a look at what modern day matchmaking really looks like and that it is far from making a mockery of marriage, it’s in support of the institution of marriage.”
