Seth Godin inspires another thought on love, life, and happiness.
Seth points out that being available to every situation is devastating when you want a valuable relationship, and want a focused, happy, and successful life.
No, we don’t take clients like that.

No, I won’t bend on this principle.
No, I’m sorry, I won’t be able to have lunch with you.

How is that, for choosing to invest yourself in a worthwhile partner search?
Forget the perfume and makeup that broadcast “I am available” so that “Just the Right One” will find you. Instead, pay attention to living the ethics, morals, and character
traits of honor and honesty you want from yourself, need from your partner, and dream of instilling in your children.
Your partner’s character, behavior, and approach to life will enable you (or hold you down), and will define what is possible for your children.
