The healthier your partners sense of self esteem, the stronger the relationship will be. If our mate walks around apologising for his or her life, seems embarrassed
by who he or she is, is always putting themselves or their lives down, they have no pride in themselves.

The more you love yourself the harder it will be to abuse yourself physically or emotionally. The clearest symptom of low self esteem is the way you let other
people treat you.

THE MORE YOU LOVE YOURSELF,
THE LESS YOU’LL ALLOW OTHERS TO MISTREAT YOU.

This is why victims make are difficult and sometimes poor partners. Though loving a victim might make you feel needed, it is a destructive, draining and short
term type of need. All the terrible things the victim complains others have done to them are merely reflections of their own low self-esteem. True self-esteem
manifests itself in the action the person takes. It inspires us to take chances, go after our dreams and reach beyond our comfort zones. You can always spot
someone with self esteem, because he is doing something. In contrast to this is a person with low self-esteem, who avoids action because he’s scared to death of
failing and feeling even worse about himself, and so he does nothing at all.

6. POSITIVE ATTITUDE TOWARD LIFE
Negative people inject negativity into relationships, focusing on problems, resisting solutions. Negative people always find someone or something to whinge
about and allow fear and worry to rule them. Negative people are cynical and pessimistic. Positive people focus on solutions, turn obstacles into opportunities,
adversity into lessons. They trust their own ability to make a difference, believing that things can always get better, using their vision to change their reality.

What Characteristics To Look For In An Ideal Partner

Many thousands of research pages into the field of human relationships, can be distilled into a bullet point list of ideal qualities & attitudes of both
partners. Whilst it would be unreasonable to expect any one person to be the master of all of these points, a genuine commitment to improving or attaining
more of these attributes will improve your chances of enjoying a healthy long lasting relationship. As you read through the list, ask yourself if either
you or your partner are excelling or deficient in important areas.
