How to remain single and be happy?

A lady's friend, LH requested me to write an article on how to be single and happy despite society perception.

I told her isn't going to be easy for me. Nevertheless I would try my dear.

Being a single person might be lonesome and I think the best way to overcome it is to have a lot of friends. I mean good friends who could cheer and understand you. Be honest to yourself... Get a job or career you love and not just the money you like. A passionate work might keep you occupy permanently, whereas money alone could bore you later in life. Remember you live happily for yourself and not to live for the sake of others. So to overcome the outside influences, build confidence within yourself. Keep repeating yourself that you are an independent and capable lady. Most important save as much as possible because when you have a fat account, it creates financial freedom and confidence in you automatically. Read constantly Wisdom of life to enlighten your thought. If you still not happy, please for heaven sake don't remain single then. 

Specially for LH - "You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. You are the guy who'll decide where to go"- Dr. Seuss
