Qualities to look for in a partner

Before you decide to start a relationship with someone consider these points (the “she” will be used but this applies to a male partner as well):

Is she accepting of other people?
Having someone that is accepting of other people remove some pressure on yourself right from the start. If she’s not accepting it won’t work.
Why? Because those who are not accepting only see negative things about other people. They will brainwash themselves into thinking that you’re not for them. They will have a list of things that they don’t like about you.

Is she working on herself mentally?
This goes with the previous point. Those who work on themselves know how hard it is to change and will be less likely to ask for other people to change.
Nobody is perfect but everybody should thrive to become the best that they can be. Is she reading? Is she religious*? Is she following a lifelong education?

*Those who practice Christianity (maybe other religion as well) have a tendency to be harder on themselves than other people. Since they compare themselves to Jesus Christ (who IS perfect and accepting of other people), they will work hard to become better for God.

Is she taking care of herself?
It’s not about looking like a model. It’s about making yourself look your best for your partner. Taking care of yourself is a good way to show that you care about your partner. It includes grooming, personal hygiene, fitness, eating right ...etc

If she goes to the gym on a regular basis and eat right, her stress level will be lower which will reduce the amount of unnecessary arguments.
If she feels good, she will make other people feel good around her.

Is she going anywhere in life?
Struggles create bigger bonds. Having goals comes with struggles. If she doesn’t have goals then chances are it will end because there’s no excitement going on and the bonds are tinning. It’s important that you go through things and solve them together.

Fiat Money

Money used to be a representation of the amount of resources a Country had.

In the old times (before WW2) when a government needed more money, they had to raise the taxes. Doing so affected, in a negative way, their chances to get re-elected. To counter this, they started printing more money instead of playing with the taxes (They still do … In Canada, there’s a tax on a tax(?)). The thing is, it’s still a tax only this time it’s a bit more hidden.

The taxes allowed the population to check their government. Too much taxes made the people question where the money was going. Printing more money (AKA Fiat Money) is not talked about as much as a tax and often goes unnoticed because the negative effect only appears later.

The cost of living going up is often blame on the gas price going up. Why do you think the gas price went up in the first place?

To have a government to print money in order to help the population is counter productive. What we need is a government that will say “no” to some of our demands because we simply can’t afford it (That’s right, we’re not supposed to have everything we ever wanted).

Unfriend Me

Social media is supposed to bring people closer together but it’s actually driving them further apart. People are loosing track of what’s important and forgetting how to socialize properly with each other.

True friendship doesn’t come from “liking” someone else’s post sitting alone in your room. It’s not about texting other people while hanging out with someone.

Leave your phone at home, limit your time on social media devices and go get uncomfortable with people out there long enough for it to become comfortable again.

Leave your Cellphone

I’ve been told that we’re now in an age where social interaction is at it’s best. Cellphones now allow us to be in constant contacts with our friends through txt or facebook but are we really closer together?

There are some people who txt me all the time and when I’m around them; they txt other people. They never fully are with anybody because they’re distracted by their phone.

Maybe I’m old fashion but I find such behavior to be disrespectful and I’m sure I’m not the only one.

When hanging out with someone, leave your phone in the car or at home.

Relationships are Like Trees

Relationships are like trees. Have you ever saw two trees grown into one another? The spots where the trees touches could be translated to arguments within the relationship. It could of been painful at the time but in the end, it made the tree merge together even more.

Cut one of those trees and both of them will die.
