Napoleon Hill on Describing an Ideal Mate
So as I?ve just joined this village yesterday, curious about how single Muslim women think, as well as share my perspective to your queries, it reminded me of a passage I?ve read in Napoleon Hill?s ?Succeed and Grow Rich through Persuasion?, p.28:
?If you do not yet know what you desire from life, if it is still a hazy, changeable, unnamed goal, you should define it. Without a purpose, without adequate plans for the fulfillment of whatever goal you may have, your mind is left wide open to negative, lazy mental attitudes. Successful men and women are those who set a positive goal, plan the means by which they expect to achieve that goal, and set out a timetable for the achievement of their goal??
??If you are not married, write a description of the person you desire as your mate. Include a detailed outline of every trait of character, every habit, and every physical quality you wish your mate to possess. Then list the traits of character and other qualifications you have or intend to acquire to entitle you to the sort of mate you have described. Remember, the sacred partnership of marriage is a two-way street and both parties are entitled to an equal share of the road.?
Modern day success coaches like Anthony Robbins pretty much echo the same advice. Note, this isn?t something you should necessarily broadcast on your profile. You should be clear in your own mind however, having written it down somewhere for yourself, what it is that you seek and an honest-self-inventory of what you can offer. Sometimes, this helps us identify areas we can shore up to be a more compelling candidate for the kind of person we seek.
Want an athletic hottie but have more than a few extra pounds? You don?t have to settle, but you do have to take action to reasonably be on par.
Written goals do work, even in this sphere. Most people find it too cheesy a concept, and consequently, miss out. Where there?s a will, there?s a way.

Comments on this journal
Though the survey only focused on financial results, which are directly measurable, the interviewers also discovered that other less-measurable qualities of life also seemed higher. These graduates seemed to be better adjusted emotionally and socially. They appeared to have a more stable family life. They seemed to have better attitudes, more happiness and peace of mind than those who did not have these written goals and plans." (cited from www.ida.net)
