"A book is a part of life, a manifestation of life, just as much as a tree or a horse or a star. It obeys its own rhythms, its own laws, whether it be a novel, a play, or a diary. The deep, hidden rhythm of life is always there -- that of the pulse, the heart beat.
" - Henry Miller

Finding Real Love in the Jungles of Hollywood
By Panney Wei, C.Ht.
Face it, love is hard and love can be difficult to find. In a city like Hollywood where illusions are the norm and appearances can be deceiving, how do you find real love?

This is the entertainment capital of the world, where sometimes people are not who they say they are, where the real and unreal, the truth and the lies, all coincide and clash with each other, and create illusion and confusion. It is a city of thrills and chills, of momentary bliss, of instant gratification, and at times, impermanence. It is a city where your value is sometimes placed on what you can do for someone and what you do, rather than whom you are inside.
I find this to be rather disturbing and if you live in Los Angeles and specifically, Hollywood, you have to work really hard to shatter these stereotypes and overcome negative perceptions and misconceptions that are false. I mean I can’t tell you how many times I’ve overheard people say, “I think she acts like a diva. Well, it’s because she’s from LA.” Well, sometimes Hollywood’s reputation precedes itself but not all of us fall into that stereotype. If you interview people from outside of Hollywood, you might hear something like this, “Hollywood has a reputation of being superficial. Nothing is real, and that includes the people.” Wow.

So how do you find real, true love in a city like this when you have to penetrate through this seemingly apparent blanket of superficiality? Well, as a success story myself and now happily married, I truly believe there are ways  to find love in a city like this. Finding real, true love in this superficial city is possible. I did, and you can too! 

Now if it sounds like a bit of magic or fate, remember, Hollywood is also the place where magic and movies exist. This is the city of miracles and possibilities, a landscape of hopes and dreams. So real love is possible but real love also takes courage, faith, and the discipline and desire to break through illusions, real or self-imposed, and prepare your heart for real love. If your dream is to meet the love of your life and you’ve been looking for love in all the wrong places, well, here are 5 helpful hints to help you navigate the jungles of Hollywood and make your dream come true!

1.    If you want a genuine person, be genuine first.
2.    Look for love in the places of your interest, maybe not the local bar. You’ll have a better chance of discovering real love in a place where you’re not inebriated and perceptions aren’t deluded.
3.    If you’re a woman, act like a magnet, and he will come. If you’re a man, go on the hunt, and find the woman of your dreams.  It’s about returning to our basic nature where masculine and feminine play their parts on the hunt for love.
4.    Live a real, authentic, and fulfilling life. Everyone is a mirror to each other so the happier and more in touch you are with what makes you happy, the easier you’ll attract the right person who reflects how you feel about yourself.
5.    Have hope and expect the best. There is someone for everyone, and never give up!

Now go for it!  Love is possible for anyone, and finding real, true, long-lasting love feels like hitting the jackpot! With these tips, you’ll definitely be the running and ready to tackle the realm of love in the jungles of Hollywood.
May the games begin!
