Business oriented and just about all individualsare always in Partnership with Transformation!Developing a Partnership with Yourself!Relating to your Feelings can be difficult.

Most of us think of partnerships as being a two-way streetthat is with another person or entity. I am referring topartnership with yourself. What better partner can you get toknow, understand and trust than yourself? This could be yourmost difficult task.

Here are some criteria that may help improve your self-partnership.

1. “I’m an idealist: I don’t know where I’m going but I’m onmy way.?Carl Sandburg, American poet.

The better you understand your vision as to what you want thebetter your partner will cooperate. It would be easier for yourpartner to follow your road map than to try to think and guesswhat's on your mind.

2. “The toughest thing about success is that you’ve got tokeep on being a success.?Irving Berlin, AmericanComposer, Theater arts 1958

If you're going to partner in a successfully way you better havecommitments, trusts, distinct understandings, and clearpicture of your plans.

3. “Genius is that superior alchemy that changes the vices ofnature into the elements of destiny?Pierre Emmanuel (NoelMathieu) French writer, Buadelaire.

The old Story Board technique of Walt Disney as explainedby Mike Vance, consists of placing all situations, problemsand in their case, animation’s in succession on a wall forbetter prospective viewing. So you being your own partnercan see what you're thinking. This technique of sequentialpicturing and outlining will stimulate other ideas. Clarified inarticles on a StoryBoard. Paste them in a book or wall.

4. “Generally, the theories we believe we call facts and thefacts we disbelieve we call theories.? Felix Cohen.

If you're going to be innovative with your partner you betterhave a good understanding of his or her limitations andperceptions. Don't create a losing situation with false andunreal expectations.

5. “Creativity in science could be described as the act ofputting two and two together to make five.?Arthur Koestler,British Philosopher, The Act of Creation.

Don't try to out guess your partner. This isn't a chess game; itis a sharing game. Have a clear understanding of the shotand long-term goals. In order to understand your partnerbetter and how you, he or she reacts, initiate more short-termgoals and see that response from the partner.

6. “It isn’t what people think that is important, but the reason

they think what they think.?Eugene Inesco, French

playwright.

In order to become empowered with confidence it is a matterof sharing responsibilities and delegation. Since you musttake equal risks with your partner then it behooves each ofyou to share all experiences. This includes the trauma andrewards.

7. “Basic research is when I’m doing what I don’t know I’mdoing.?Wernher Von Braun, German Scientist, in The Faber Book ofAphorisms, 1964

Don't get stuck behind the desk or you'll lose total contactwith your partner's world. Always continue to be exposed andaware of the elementary basics.

8. “A creative person needs a certain amount of insecurity tomaintain that fine edge. You don’t have any control over it.?Walter Egan, American rock musician.

You must be in sync with the dreams, visions, innovations,creativity, expectations, perceptions, strategies and a host ofother thoughts of your partner. Don’t let the synergy wander tofar apart.

9. “It is explained that all relationships require a - little giveand take. This is untrue. Any partnership demands that wegive and give and give and at the last, as we flop into ourgrave exhausted, we are told that we didn’t give enough.?Quinten Crsip, Bristish writer, How To Become a Virgin1981.

In a world of desensitization and the dehumanizing of humancontact you better have direct contact and understanding inperson with your partner. The competition is vicious andevasive enough without creating the feeling of isolation within the partner.

10 .“Time is a circus always packing up and moving away.?Ben Hecht, screenwriter

We have heard the comment location, location, location.There's also the concept of timing, timing and timing iseverything. This is critical in our personal and globaltransitional exploding world of change. Change is sodramatic and quick those strategic partnerships must be intotal command and responsive mode at a moment's notice.Your awareness and responsiveness are critical.

If this criteria frightens you, this could be your first positive step to a successful partnership with yourself.
