Looking for Mr. or Mrs. Right

Now how many of us have never read, heard, of thought those same words to ourselves. It does not matter whether your single, dating, or a self-mutilator. Everyone wants that right person for themselves, we want the best...and by golly, the American capitalist society says we deserve the best!

However...do we really? It's not bad that everyone wants the right guy or girl for their life, but if everyone wants that and nobody is willing to put in the work to become just that, how realistic is this selfish idea of "I want the best," or "I deserve that person"? It's not realistic at all.

We want, that's a given, but how are you challenging yourself to be the best person for someone else? What have you sacrificed - put your time and energy into?

Have you sacrificed for a beneficial financial future? Learned a trade, gone to school, or at least tried different venues of making money that will put food on the table for your family, a roof over your heads, and some stable transportation?

You want someone who is financially stable, but do you at least have a steady income? You want someone who's lean and well built, what about yourself?

The whole point is to check yourself so you're not so darn selfish (and not full of double-standards). You'll weaken and eventually destroy a relationship with that type of mentality. The relationship that you want is one that will bring out the best in not just yourself, but in the other person as well.

As I stated in my last post. Don't just go for the first beautiful thing to "swing" your way. Instead allow yourself the time to at least be solid on the path of becoming Mr. or Mrs. Right...you don't have to be it right away, that takes time and effort.

This way, when you're at least looking for someone you can love to share the rest of your life with, you'll both bring your best to the table...no one's perfect, but trying to prepare for the part will surely make a difference when you meet (or meet again even...lol, who knows).

Become Mr. or Mrs. Right, and it'll be easier for you to find, or recognize, who'll fit well for your other half.

Make the effort,
