Think of three defining characteristics

Think of your soulmate.

What are three personality characteristics that are important to you that they should have?

Dont be vague a nice person, if you said that, is not descriptive enough.

What are some specific behaviors that a nice person exhibits that are meaningful to you?

Thats what you are after.

How will these personal qualities advance your relationship and make your life happy?

Love yourself

To fall in love with someone, you need first to fall in love with yourself.

Start with the basics: Do you care about yourself?

Do you do things that are good for your body and mind?

Do you respect yourself?

Do you know when to say no and set boundaries so that you wont get hurt?

Do you believe that you are a good person who deserves happiness in life?

Speak to yourself with kind and encouraging words.

Stop the self-doubt

Its easy to start doubting yourself when things dont go as you expected or dreamed.

Instead of self-bashing, look at your bigger goal and the smaller steps you have made in that direction.

Just accept these past relationships for what they were good for while they lasted or total crap.

Either way, you cant go back and change them.

It doesnt work this way.

Dont just wait for this special person to come around the corner and change your life.

Enjoy your life the way it is.

Add more fun, more things you enjoy, more positive and worthwhile people in your life.

Embrace the future you

Are you waiting to find your better half?

Id suggest you dont.

You are a whole as you are you are your own unique, second-to-none person.

Consider this: in your future partner, are you looking for characteristics you dont have?

Believe in you, who you are, and who you want to become.

After all, change is the name of the human game.

Believe in yourself, love yourself, change in a positive direction, self-develop, and create your life.
