Part 7 - Unsuccessful vs. Successful Single
I’ve used the phrase “successful single” many times in here. You may
be wondering what exactly makes someone a successful single. Let's look at the
difference between an unsuccessful single and a successful single.
This
list was written by Jeff Herring in an article titled "Tips On How To Be A
Successful Single."
How to be an unsuccessful single:
-
See being single
as a condition that needs to be cured.
-
Be on a constant
lookout for that one person that is going to make everything right.
-
Put off living your life until you meet
someone.
-
Believe that no
matter what you do, you will wind up hurt.
-
Resign yourself
to being alone and miserable the rest of your life.
-
Take on a victim
mentality and there is nothing you can do about your life.
-
Believe the lie
that "all the good ones are taken."
How to be a
successful single:
-
Don't put your
life on hold waiting for a relationship to happen.
-
Find your life's
vision and purpose and live it while you are single.
-
One of the best
ways to find your life partner is to be a happy, successful single person
living the life that you really want.
-
Know what types
of people are bad for you and avoid them.
-
Don't just wait for someone to come
knocking at your door. It can be a long wait. Get out into social situations.
-
Seek out healthy
choices in potential partners.
-
Always keep in
mind that it only takes one.
-
Create an
attractive and compelling life that someone would be eager to be a part of.
-
In other words, view being single not as a
condition to be cured, but as an opportunity to be explored and lived out to
its fullest.
Remember, if you can't stand to be with
you, how will anyone else? If you want to be a
successful single, you have to feel complete on your own.
You'll know that you
are starting to become a successful single when your actions change.
