If you've been keeping up with my last few posts you know that I am on a mission to find a meaningful relationship. The last couple steps I've taken have involved me taking a good hard look at myself and figuring out what I bring to the table. This next step is also an introspective one:
Step 3: Self-Improvement
Now unless you are Jesus himself, there is room for improvement. This step is not meant for you to be harsh on yourself and make you dwell on your imperfections, but it is important that you are real with yourself. Just like I had you write down all of your strengths, I want you to write down your weaknesses. The goal of this step is to take initiative in making yourself a better half. For example, let's say you have bad credit, your not in healthy physical condition, or you aren't very social, these are all issues that can be fixed with some time and effort. There is never a obstacle so great that it cannot be overcome. It helps if you at least recognize it is a problem, from there you can find ways to improve it. It's important to remember that not everything can be solved in a day, some things may take months or even years to fix, but once they are you will feel such a great sense of relief knowing that you overcame a great hurdle.
Ex. Large amount of debt/Bad Credit: get in contact with the bank or creditor and come up with a solution to minimize or eliminate your debt. In this economy many people are having trouble and most companies are willing to work with you. Make sure to have a reliable source of income and most importantly make a budget for yourself and STICK TO IT!!! You also want to pay yourself first by putting at least 10% in a savings account that can be used for emergencies.
It's vital that you remember that no matter how bad your situation may seem it can be fixed.
