Are you selecting a partner just like a “shopping list”?

When it comes to selecting a partner, some people like to make a “shopping list.” The list covers the looks, the education, the career, the assets, and the personality they wish to have from a potential candidate. I can understand their thoughts. Anyhow, who would like to divorce? Who wouldn’t want a perfect partner?

My article in my last article encouraged people to look into some possible qualities inside a person. That is because everything can change even after the shopping list items are all ticked. But some qualities inside a person can make things different or genuinely deliver what the “shopping list” requires.

Here is the No one quality: Positive Attitude. We may all have heard the story of a glass of water, half full or half empty. That reflects people’s perception, judgment, understanding, and reaction to things and people. Someone can only look at a glass of water being “half-empty, while others can look at the glass being “half full.”

The negative or positive view impacts a person’s real life, career, and marriage, influencing the people around that person. Negative attitudes may also deliver something from the “shopping list,” but it can be temporary. While a positive person may not be able to provide everything on the “shopping list” by now, but he can fulfil our desire for a happy life for a long time.

Here are some characteristics of a positive person: To be passionate about opportunity; To learn from mistakes and then fly higher To be more solution-orientated than just sitting at home, feeling sad; To appreciate people’s strength more than criticizing their weakness; Not to be afraid of apologizing; To be trusting and encouraging, even inspirational; Easy to forgive and forget

When a person possesses those characteristics because of his positive attitude, he will be able to achieve many things in life. When a person can see our strengths more than our weaknesses, we will be more encouraged. When a person can try to find a solution to any problem, we do not need to live in a hostile environment; when a person can forgive our mistake, we are more motivated to do well. Just imagine living in such a relationship or marriage; would we become happier?
