The Diary of Molly Mormon

Are you too judgemental for your own good?
by Ethan Braxton

Ok my mormon girls, I am going to give it to you straight. You need to go find the list you made in young women about the qualities you wanted in your future husband, put it on a shelf, find a double barrel shotgun and let loose. You may ask yourself, why would I do something like that to the list I hold so dear to my heart?

Chances are that if you are reading this, you are probably single and therefore, made my answer even more clear: Your list is not helping you! Mainly because chances are, the person YOU described in your list is about as real as the rumor that Snoop Dogg read the Book of Mormon cover to cover. Don’t do this to yourself nor to the literally dozens of possible candidates that would make you a very happy wife.

Switching your Mr. Perfect checklist to a list full with goals for yourself on how you will become the best woman, will make Mr. Perfect that much better. Believe it or not, “that Mr. Perfect” will be more attracted to the girl that has her priorities in place, her goals in sight, and her head on her shoulders; not the girl that is hoping to get Mr. Perfect while sitting at home, eating ice cream and watching a Gossip Girl or Greys Anatomy marathon wishing Ryan Gosling would build her a house.

Give it a thought, and while I can’t promise you Mr. Perfect will come faster, I can promise you the wait will turn into the time of your life.
