Lesson 361: Find A Partner That Wants To Build With You

It's possible that you find someone that is already made and doesn't want to build anything new. All good. However, if you meet someone that is still building and they don't consider building with you, that's a good sign that the relationship will not go anywhere. When you build together, the bond grows tighter and it makes for beautiful stories to share in the future.

PROMPT: What are you building with your partner?

Lesson 360: Everyone Has Their Burden

We all have things we carry. We all have our baggage. We should learn to be more understanding because we all go through so much and we never know how heavy the other person's burden is.

PROMPT: How do you carry your burden?

Lesson 359: Boring Now Might Be Interesting Later

I really don't get bored as long as I have access to a few things, a computer, the internet, a book, my phone. However, there are things that we might have to do that we consider boring. One way to approach it is to go in with the mindset that this boring thing might end up becoming interesting later. I've found the more you do something, the more interesting it gets. It's a beautiful experience. Sure, it might be boring now, but keep at it and you'll find it interesting.

PROMPT: What was something you found boring before but find interesting now?

Lesson 358: Bring Extra To The Table

Make sure you have some tricks up your sleeve. Whenever they think you've wowed them way beyond expectation, hit them with, well, there's one more thing. Always have extras to share.

Lesson 357: The Unexpected Should Always Be Expected

Life is beautiful. There are times things just fall right where you want them. However, there are also times when things just don't work out. Things we never expected to happen, end up happening. When those do occur, we should make sure we accept them because in life, there's always a chance of the unexpected thing happening. It's also good practice to have contingencies in place, just in case.

PROMPT: How do you handle unexpected experiences?

Lesson 356: Question Everything

There is nothing wrong with asking questions. If you don't know something, ask. If something seems unclear, ask. If something seems off, ask. If you don't ask, you won't know. So ask as many questions as you need to get to the level of comfort that works for you.

PROMPT: How comfortable are you with asking questions?

Lesson 355: End One-Sided Relationships

If you are carrying the relationship, maybe it's time you considered ending it. A relationship doesn't necessarily have to be 50/50 all the time but if it is one-sided and you are doing most of the carrying, it's time to evaluate things. It's also ok to end it.

PROMPT: Do you have a one-sided relationship?

Lesson 354: Give Value  

In every situation you find yourself in, make sure you bring value. It is super important to bring value to the table. The more value you bring, the more important you become. Remember, value is subjective so just because something is valuable to you doesn't mean it will be valuable to others so make sure you understand what's valuable to them and then give them that.

PROMPT: What value do you offer?

Lesson 352: Strengths > Desires

Just because you desire something doesn't mean you'll get it. We desire a lot but we have to be honest with our strengths. Once we know our strengths we can align our desires to suit that. It isn't a case of killing the desire, it's about being honest with ourselves. Now, if you really want that thing, that's an incentive to work on increasing your strength to align with that desire.

PROMPT: Do your desires align with your strength?
