Spaces in relationships

There are 9 spaces in a relationship I became aware of in my relationships. Sometimes there's also ten and eleven, culture and religion, but I didn't list them as they rarely played a role (they'd sabotage the relationship right at the start).  I list them in order of how critical they are to the relationship.

1) Bed,
2) conversation,
3) emotional resonance (understanding),
4) positive energy (coming from your interactions),
5) spending time (not getting bored with one another, also being able to take rest from one another),
6) socal life (biggest problem in relationships of strong introversts with strong extraverts or if one person is the jelous type),
7) self-development/future plans, phase of life you're in, lifestyle (career, friends, journeys, fun vs. building something in life),
8) things you wanna do with or without your partner (things that you think of 'I want to...' instead of 'I want to... with him/her'),
9) empty space.

The more spaces work in your relationship, the more chance for it's continuation.

The Right Environment. Be Easy On Yourself.

If you feel you want to do something but can't quite find the motivation, find the right people. Find a group who does it. Getting things done in the right environment is multiple times more easy and effective. Start with meetup.com and see where it leads you. And be easy on yourself, work on your new way once a week or a month in the beginning, or 10 minutes a day. If you start to rough and soon, the end will be rough and soon as well.

Most Important In Life: Go Your Own Way

Besides the basics like health, family and money going your own way is the most crucial life element. Only people who go their way, not the culturally appropriate or preached-by-parents way, are the ones to do what they want, to be what they want, to be where they want. Only they consciously get the satisfaction they want. Others end up mostly (not all, most) in jobs working 40 hours a week, or more actually, feeling unfulfilled. Often they realize too late (too late into marriage, into mortgage loan, into too many years of experience in one industry) that their desires lie in a different place, branch, person, lifestyle. To go your way you need to understand it requires babysteps, lots of them, hard work and many months or years to get there. Yet, it's the most rewarding thing in life (except the personal ones like having children, finding love, etc.).

Dreams Are Life Drivers

After years of setting and achieving goals, creating smart goals, making them ambitious yet realistic, I came to this conclusion. Goals are good and take life further. But they're not enough. They are house fundamentals, car's engine. Yet the beauty and great taste of life come with dreams, that is goals that don't have a practical purpose or a deadline.

I'm keeping the goals but I added dream list.

1) Be a serial entrepreneur.
2) Live in Venice, Singapur and London for 6 months each.

Growth: higher goal category

1)First level of strategic behavior is setting goals.

2) The next level is setting goals that are strategic.

They are something bigger than tactical goals. A tactical goal says, how you want to something, for instance go to English course, read 30 pages a day. A strategic goal states where you wanna be, for instance become a professional writer by a given years, set up a grocery business that'll give me personal profit of 60k USD a year by a given year.

3) 3rd level of strategic thinking is about dynamics. It's about setting goals for areas you're in to make them ever better. This works both with tactical and strategic goals

For instance, if you'd like to be a writer, the strategic level goal would be: each year publish +1 book (1 in the 1st year, 2 in the 2nd, 3 in the 3rd, etc.). A growth tactical goal would accompany this strategic goal: get more effective to write more pages per week.

Everyrhing Is An Investment

Most things are an investment of your time, money, health or emotions, i.e. they WILL result with a cost, return or both. You have to manage them wisely to be profitable. That goes for emotional investments and returns in relations with people, too.
