The Princess and the Frog

I had to chuckle to myself about a story I heard about this young man.  A young lady who was kinda like a princess and prided herself as having high standards with basically everything education, political views, men and relationships wasn't really searching for a man.  However,  she eyed this young man and made herself very conspicuous in his presence.   The young man was handsome, educated and by all rights was successful.   Now these two had much in common it appeared they were a good if not perfect match.  But the princess had lofty goals and her ideals for the perfect man may have been too high for the young man.  He also had ideals for the perfect woman.   He also sought someone of a paticular look and impressive background.  In his search for his ideal he never noticed the plain, young lady in the background who was willing to accept him as he was flaws, and all, who adored him from a distance because she didn't fit.
  Sometimes we are so busy trying out people we think fit our ideals, our goals and ambitions that we forget we are individuals.   We are looking instead of noticing qualities that we don't even know would benefit us, take care of us or make us happy because the outward appearance and resume don't match.  Hence the Princess and the frog story.  The Princess was busy looking for a Prince but couldn't tell the frog was the perfect fit till she kissed him.  Same for the young man at the beginning of this story he was so busy with the outward (granted the Princess laid it on pretty thick) that he missed out on someone truly special.  So just because someone is highly educated,  seemingly successful and appears to have it all together even they can be rejected because the other person doesn't think they're enough or did enough or reached their unreachable criteria.    Can't we all just be frogs and kiss and watch the miracle of love transforms us into the partners we were meant to be?
