Your values shape your future, and many of us defer living our
values, and therefore our future, because we assume we need
to wait for a partner before we can have these experiences. In
truth, one of the best ways to attract the perfect partner into
your life is to start doing all the things you’ve imagined you’d
do with him or her in the future. For example, let’s take a common
one. Many singletons are renting an apartment thinking
that when they get married, then they’ll buy a home together.
Here is the good news: you don’t have to wait to be married
to buy your own home. And fortunately, many people aren’t
waiting. The majority of shoppers at Home Depot (the home
improvement store) are women, and they are rapidly fi lling up
the how-to-fi x-this-or-that classes as well. So, if you’ve been
waiting, wait no more. Buy a house you can live in and enjoy
now.
Perhaps you’ve been imagining you’d take skydiving lessons
with your partner? Well, don’t wait. Sign up for the next
skydiving class and go by yourself. You might just meet your
partner in the class, and even if you don’t you’ll be doing something
you enjoy, which will give you joy and energy, making
you more attractive.
What about travel? Have you been thinking about the places
you’d like to go with your partner? Book your trip now to see
those pyramids in Egypt or the Great Wall of China. If you are afraid to travel alone, see if you can go with a friend, but make
a point of meeting new people on the road. Traveling alone is
an excellent way to meet people. You are much more likely to
strike up conversations with other travelers and be more open
to meeting new people if you are alone. So muster up the courage
and go for it solo.
Maybe you are waiting to get a puppy or pet until you meet
the right partner. Go right out and fi nd a puppy today. Everyone
loves a puppy, so you’ll meet plenty of people while walking
your new pooch around the block.
Are you waiting to fi nd the perfect career or job? Perhaps
you are thinking that you have a good job and you should just
hang on to it and then, when you have the security of a partner
in a relationship to help with living expenses, you’ll be able to
afford to take some risks and experiment with going back to
school for new training or start writing that novel. Don’t wait!
