I have been married for 28 years. I am so "lucky in love", as the saying goes. I have the best wife in the world. She treats me like gold, and I treat her the same way. One of the ways of getting and staying motivated is to be in a relationship where your girlfriend, boyfriend husband or wife or significant other is the kind of person who makes you feel good about yourself. I describe it as the kind of person who makes you a better you.
So here are a few thoughts:
· If you are in a relationship take care of it and nurture it. Take tender care of it – it is the most important aspect of your life. If things aren’t right at home nothing will feel right in your life.
· If you are in a relationship that is negative and toxic- fix it or get out of it. I meet people all the time who tolerate being in abusive relationships and to be abused. You deserve better.
· If you are not in a relationship and are looking, make sure to be very selective about who you choose. What is their history and background? People always ask me the secret to long and successful marriage. I tell them the secret is “who you marry”. If you start with a great person, then you can’t go wrong.
I find that all the people I meet who are motivated and fired up have a great foundation at home. Their “secret” is a special someone at home that enriches their life.
