I often explain in presentations I do for singles groups the following: “I use to bring to each relationship what I call my “U-Haul truck” of baggage. Now, having eliminated that load of things from my past, I bring more of my terrific qualities to each relationship. The other person is blessed, not cursed, because I am a good listener, have a positive attitude, and so on.”
Let’s say you meet Mr. or Ms. Perfect Forever and they really have their stuff together. You see that they have a ton to bring to the table as far as
positive, life enriching attributes. Your life will be changed immensely for the better, because they only bring assets to add to your life and not liabilities to drag you down. This Mr. or Ms. Wonderful has really worked on being the right person; a whole, complete and satisfied person. He or she is ready for a long term, healthy relationship. Let’s say you two start dating and things seem to be going pretty well, but as the days, weeks and months go by, your baggage starts showing up and creating disagreements and problems between the two of you. You, or actually probably the other person, discover that you are the one who has the liabilities that start bringing the other person down. What do you think will happen? They will likely run for the hills.
you want to better in. You are a more whole, complete and satisfied person. That other someone will be absolutely lucky and blessed to have you in their life. Now when you start dating this special someone, things seem to be going pretty well, and as the days, weeks and months go by, you two grow closer and fonder of each other. The relationship progresses in a healthy, happy manner. What do you think will happen? You could be together forever! Out of the two above scenarios, which is the ideal situation you wish to happen to you? If your choice is to the second one, here are some action steps that will help you move forward in that direction:
I encourage you to make the following two lists:
One - list all the fabulous, amazing, and terrific qualities and characteristics you have. If you have trouble with this ask your family and friends to tell you the great things they see in you. You should have at least 50 things on this list.
Two - list the top five areas in your life you would like to improve. Do you want to lose weight, become financially stable, be more patient and tolerant, or have a better relationship with your children or parents? Again, if you need assistance those closest to you will be able to identify things you may not. This list should only have, at the most, five things to begin with. As you improve in those areas and cross off the things you change then and only then can you add more to this list.
Further action on each list that would be useful to take:
For list one – keep adding to it as you discover additional things you love about yourself. These are things that would positively impact another person’s life because you are that way.
For list two – for each item you would like to improve on, research and determine one step you could take towards that change. Take one area a month and do at least that first step if not more.
Until next time…..

P.S. I am in no way inferring that you have to be perfect or that you can expect the other person to be perfect, since we all know there is no such thing as a perfect person. What I am saying is there is always room for improvement and your odds of being successful in a relationship are counting on you to seek out that improvement.
