    What does it take to be a
    good friend, partner, or lover? I have been pondering this equation for
    awhile. Most of us over analyze, and take something that should be
    simplistic ,and make it complex. Sincerity, warmth, compassion ,
    honesty and respect are all components. sometimes .I wonder if the deal
    breaker is simply unrealistic expectations......too many get caught up
    in either romantic notions or are very self absorbed, and then some are
    easily influenced by others, whether it be family or friends. As I have
    always believed, we need to learn to think for ourselves.....before we
    listen to others.....and of course truly understand what our personal
    beliefs and needs are . We tend to blame others for their short-comings
    , but actually the fault may lay within ourselves. What is it that
    motivates us.....and furthermore just how committed to ones convictions
    are we ?



    For myself....I have taken risks, and to some degree am fearless.......
    For most individuals the biggest risk of all in life is learning how to
    truly care for another individual....the ability to give of
    oneself...and most end up sabotaging themselves in the process....it is
    heart breaking to watch. We need to develop and grow , evolve mentally
    and spiritually.......Life is imperfect, and to expect others to be
    ....is unrealistic and unfair. I have known a few individuals that have
    led a very charmed life....which makes it more difficult for them to
    understand and comprehend those less fortunate than them selves....No
    one is perfect nor can they fulfill all that is lacking within
    ourselves....What one CAN DO is Enhance, inspire , and motivate us to
    become a better person...be more aware of our own faults, and perhaps
    less judgmental of others. TRUST AND TIME are the most critical
    components of relationships.......To trust someone implicitly, and give
    them the necessary time to evolve and in some cases .....learn to place
    their trust in others. This process can not be hurried.....it must
    evolve .....as the saying goes:
    "Patience is a virtue---and good things come to those who wait !"
