Finding your true love - Step 3

If you have followed steps one and two you have prepared yourself for love and have begun to attract people to you and therefore are ready for the next step. Step 3 is -Don't compromise! Under no circumstances should you compromise on your values, wants and desires. You should always be the choser and never settle for less than you deserve. It is very important to understand that you cannot change anyone so asses your potential partner on how they are NOT how you think they should be. Also, don’t be afraid to say no to what you don’t want and take responsibility for getting what you do want. And finally, know when to "pull the plug" on the relationship that is going nowhere or as soon as a requirement is not met (a deal breaker or non-negotiable)and cut your losses. You may miss the person that God has in store for you by being with the wrong one.

Finding your true love - Step 2

Step one was preparing yourself for love. Once you have focused on improving upon your shortcomings, you can begin to accentuate the positive. Step 2 is become a magnet! Now that you are happy with who you are, you will become a magnet and attract people to you. Being happy with yourself and grateful for what you have is attractive to others. The Law of Magnetism says that we can only attract the same kind of energy that we put out. We believe there are three key elements to attraction and they are attitude, presence and authenticity.

We should all learn how to maintain a positive attitude and live our lives to the fullest. Be grateful and celebrate each day and try not to be a Debbie Downer. Always think of your glass as half full and remember what Grandmother Corbitt says, “there is more to be thankful for than to complain about.”

Presence is the ability to project a sense of ease, poise, or self-assurance. Making sure that you always look and feel your best will help project a sense of self confidence and presence that is attractive. Let’s face it, most all relationships begin based on the physical attraction. This is important in every area of our life, whether we are looking for a partner, searching for a job or presenting our business plan to a prospect or investor. As a married woman, I always try to make sure my husband sees me at my best.

Last but certainly not least, don’t pretend to be something that you are not – BE Authentic! If you start a relationship under false pretenses, the truth will eventually come to the light. Additionally, we believe there is someone out there for everyone so embrace your quirkiness and you will likely find someone who is attracted to it; a wise person once said that one man's trash is another man's treasure! The more you honor yourself and are true to yourself, the easier it will be for your mate to find you. You will become a magnet attracting and guiding your partner to you.
