5 essential traits to look for….
.
.
Think your Mr. Next has the potential to be Mr. Right? Before you leap without looking, take an honest inventory. See how many of the following five essential traits he possesses.
..
Dating Trait #1: He listens to you
..
The best way to know if Mr. Next is interested in (and worthy of) being a candidate for Mr. Right? He listens to you. You’ll know he’s listening when he shows genuine concern, consistently remembers things you’ve told him (your birthday, favorite food, best friend’s name, etc.), and offers emotional support in honest and thoughtful ways.
..
Dating Trait #2: He connects with you easily
..
We’ve all been in those relationships that take W-O-R-K (and suck the life force out of us in the process). When a relationship works on its own, it feels effortless, easy, and fluid. You don’t have to force anything, forgive anyone, or turn a blind eye to red flags or gut-twisters. Instead, you communicate and collaborate with comfort, compatibility, and undeniable chemistry. If and when you experience this kind of interaction, you are on to something really special.
..
Dating Trait #3: He wants the real you
..
So often, women feel the need to sacrifice some part of themselves to make a relationship work. In the right relationship, there’s no need. You don’t have to hide, tone down, or apologize for any aspect of you or your fabulous life. With the right partner, you’re not only able to be yourself, but you’re better able to be the best version of your most authentic self — no compromises needed.
..
Dating Trait #4: He’s trustworthy
..
A relationship without trust is doomed from the start. But a relationship with abundant trust? A fabulous foundation for real

FRIENDSHIP IS A PRICELESS GIFT
THAT CANNOT BE BOUGHT OR SOLD,
BUT ITS VALUE IS FAR GREATER
THAN A MOUNTAIN MADE OF GOLD.
<><><><>
FOR GOLD IS COLD AND LIFELESS
IT CAN NEITHER SEE NOR HEAR,
AND IN THE TIME OF TROUBLE
IT IS POWERLESS TO CHEER.
<><><><>
IT HAS NO EARS TO LISTEN
NO HEART TO UNDERSTAND,
IT CANNOT BRING YOU COMFORT

Because Nice Matters
==================
.
When I was 20 and still in college, I worked for a large chain
store where jewelry was their main product.
.
At Christmas time, it was understood that when the jewelry
department got busy, and because that’s where the greatest
margin of profit was, that all available employees were to help
with sales in the jewelry ‘pit’.
.
We were all trained to work the counters, but we got a minimum
percentage of commission compared to the regular salespeople’s
salary and commissions. This one evening, the customers were
three deep all around the four sides of the jewelry counters.
.
One by one we served the customers and it finally got to a
manageable group in about two hours. Some of my co-workers were
tired and wanted to go back to their departments. Some were
allowed to leave, but I was asked to stay and finish helping our
customers find the jewelry that they were shopping for.
.
As I was just about to walk my current customer to the registers
so that she could checkout, I caught sight of a VERY large man
in just filthy overalls.
.
He was muddy and he smelled!
.
When I returned to the sales counter, all of the other college
students that were there working were whispering and giggling
and not very discreetly.
.
I asked them what they were whispering about. And they pointed
to the man at my section of the counter. I told them not to be
so mean. He might be able to hear them. I told them to have the
Christmas spirit and be nice. Because Nice matters.
.
They were still giggling as I went to see how I could help him.
When I got to him, he really did smell. It was pretty bad, but
I figured he really wanted something as he had waited a long
time. He thanked me for coming to him and asked to see a
$40,000 aquamarine and diamond ring in the case.
.
Gasps and more giggles exploded from my co-workers when they
