Why Learning How to Enjoy Life Without a Partner Is Perhaps the Most Important Success Factor for a Relationship


When you have learned to enjoy life without a partner it means you have come to appreciate your own company—that you love and accept yourself.


When you love and accept yourself, you feel lovable and therefore are ready to accept someone else loving you.


When you obviously enjoy life and are "upbeat" and vibrant, you are magnetic to others-you attract positive people and healthy relationships.


You might say that when you look at your glass of life as "half-full," you draw to yourself people who enjoy helping you fill it up!


When you enjoy life, it rubs off on others and people enjoy being with you.


Once you learn to be happy without a partner, you have a certain sense of inner wholeness that tends to draw to you others who are developing their own wholeness—personal wholeness is the major foundation necessary to create truly fulfilling relationships.


When you are happy with your life, you send good vibes out over the airwaves, which magnetize to you friends, dates and mates who also have good vibes.


When you feel happy and whole, whether you continue to enjoy life without a partner or you draw to yourself new friends, dates or a mate, all of your relationships—with self, friends and loved ones—are set for success and happiness!


The bottom line: Happiness in relationships is sparked from the light of happiness within our self.

couldn't agree more

this is basically true,
but speaking as a person who has been "working on" being LESS "self-focused"..
there is a FINE LINE between loving/appreciating oneself & being too self-reliant or self-whatever..

So true. "Innerpeace"

I am the way that is described for the most part. My partner, however doesn't have this inner peace. I do try to rub some of what I have and influence him to be happy with what he has not what he has not. It's hard, his happiness oft times influences mine...and it's hard to be happy, when I know he's not. WHat frustrates me the most is that thse things CAN be overcome, but he has to do it...and yet for some reason...doesn't. Can't. Won't.

I think many people let a few things hang them up and can't get past them in order to be happy...in other words they don't thank nor count their lucky stars often enough.

Also someone can step in when you feeling blue and lift your spirits up too you know.
