Finding Your Perfect Partner by David Wood

Finding Your Perfect Partner by David Wood

Finding Your Perfect Partner
The mistake is to go looking, before cleaning up your own "back yard". The mistake is to seek someone because you're so desperately lonely, and don't feel happy with your own company. You may find a partner using this approach, but it often won't last, and will rarely lead to fulfillment.
There's nothing wrong with this approach, and this newsletter won't stop anyone doing it. BUT - here's the key to entering a great relationship: You want to be having such a great time that the perfect partner notices you and says "Hey - can I play too?".
If you are already happy with your own company, and loving your life, then skip straight to PART II - the action section. If there are some things you're ready to handle in your own life - to prepare a more attractive space for a partner to come into and play - then read on.
Try the following check list (add up your score - 1 for each "true"):
I have a job I enjoy.
I am happy with my chosen friends and am well supported.
I am complete (nothing unresolved or unsaid) with my close family members and friends.
I do not fret about money. (I have a reserve of cash and/or regularly save a percentage of my income).
My home and bedroom are places I would feel comfortable inviting someone to spend time in.
I am happy with my current weight, appearance and the way I dress.
I feel good about the food I eat and my current exercise program.
I enjoy/am comfortable spending time alone.
I have found things to do alone (other than reading or watching TV) that I enjoy.
I am comfortable expressing myself.
My week is fun - I have found things to do that are so much fun that I'm not always looking around to see who I might meet.
You don't need to score 11 to have a great relationship. But if your score is not as high as you would like, why not choose today to turn ONE thing on the above list into "True"? Work on your own, with a friend, or with a coach.
Top Ten Practical Actions to Finding a Partner
The following is a brief extract from the full "Finding Mr. Right" program (available at my web site). Make a couple of these true today, then take your time with the rest...
I have written down the Top None to Five requirements of the partner I am seeking (e.g. kindness, ambition).
I have written down the Top None to Five requirements of the relationship I am seeking (e.g. honesty, laughter, support, eating ice-cream together). (And are you available for casual dating, casual sex, a "serious" relationship, marriage and kids?)
I have - in conjunction with friends - come up with a list of at least five places I might meet such a person (e.g. sporting clubs, internet, parties, bars, interest groups)
I have told at least ten friends the kind of partner and relationship I am seeking, and that I would love to be introduced to potential partners, and invited to a lot of parties!
I have written down at least three possible dates to invite someone on, each being something I really enjoy (e.g. walk on the beach, poetry reading, rock climbing)
I ask out at least two people per week (and have found a way that works for me and is not too scary).
I have interviewed friends concerning how "available" I appear. (Some people think they appear available, but come across as aggressive or snobby.)
Enjoy,
David Wood

God Waits for You to Act First by Daniel N. Brown

God Waits for You to Act First by Daniel N. Brown

Its been said, You cant steer a parked car. How would you
ever get anywhere if your car is not running, let alone steer it?

If you have a big dream that God has placed in your heart are you
pursuing it? Are you in motion, or are you sitting idle? Maybe
youre waiting for God to do something.

Some people would say that God can do anything. I disagree. God
cannot do just anything. He has a nature and he will not act in a
manner that is inconsistent with His nature. For example, God
cannot lie. Its against His nature to lie. Its also against His
nature to make you do something that you refuse to do. Like,
accept His Son who died on the cross to save you from your sins.
Jesus only saves you according to your belief and confession in
Him (Romans 10:9,10). Its your responsibility to ensure your
salvation just like it is your responsibility to accomplish your
dreams.

It is your responsibility to accomplish your dreams, but remember
what Jesus said in John 15:5, Without Me, you can do nothing.
Obviously, we need the Holy Spirits help in everything we set
out to do. In our own strength, its fleshly, weak, frustrating,
and it will surely fail. Unless the Lord builds the house, they
labor in vain who build it (Psalm 127:1) We simply must be in
agreement with God by aligning our will up with His.

If you know what you are supposed to do, do it. The Holy Spirit
releases His power the moment you take a step of faith. Just like
a parked car cannot be steered, God cannot steer you, unless you
are moving.

God waits for you to act first. Just like when Joshua faced an
impassible obstacle, the flooded waters of the Jordan River
receded only after the leaders stepped into the rushing current
in faith (Joshua 3:13-17).

Step out in faith and go after those things that God has called
you to do. Time is wasting. If you are not sure what you are
supposed to be doing, find out now by asking the Holy Spirit. He
will reveal His desire for you if you will seek Him.

1 Corinthians 2:9-10 says, No eye has seen, no ear has heard,
the things which God has prepared for those who love Him. But God
has revealed them unto us by His Spirit; for the Spirit searches
all things, the deep things of God. And then verse 16 says, Who
has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him? But we
have the mind of Christ.
