Getting Over a Heart Break (Page 6)

When a love interest comes knocking at your door, how do you know that old battle wounds and scars have been healed enough to let love in?

Seeing as each person is completely individual, there really isn't a way to know exactly when the right time to begin a new relationship is. What may work for one person, may not work for another. Fortunately, there are a few key attributes that determine how ready you really are.

Many of us use relationships as a way to help fix ourselves, when actually we should be trying to do that before we find someone else. Do you have a purpose for waking up in the morning? Do you have a vision of your place in the world and what you want to contribute to others? Do you feel empowered and passionate about your life. Living the life you want now not only enlivens and energizes you but also makes you very attractive to the opposite sex.

Each relationship offers us an opportunity to review the list of qualities we look in a mate. Sometimes, what we thought we wanted didn't even come close to what we really needed. After a long-term relationship it is especially prudent to revise your list of desirable traits. Were there things about your past partner that hindered you from being really you, from becoming the very best person you could possible be? What traits would help you feel the most comfortable with being yourself? What traits would enable you grow into all you are capable of being?

hope am being understood here cos heartbreak should be a way to move forward cos not all relationships hold on that long.
