Business oriented and just about all individuals are 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 street that is with another person or entity. I am referring to partnership with yourself. What better partner can you get to know, understand and trust than yourself? This could be your most 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 on my way." Carl Sandburg, American poet. The better you understand your vision as to what you want the better your partner will cooperate. It would be easier for your partner to follow your road map than to try to think and guess what's on your mind. 2. "The toughest thing about success is that you've got to keep on being a success." Irving Berlin, American Composer, Theater arts 1958 If you're going to partner in a successfully way you better have commitments, trusts, distinct understandings, and clear picture of your plans. 3. "Genius is that superior alchemy that changes the vices of nature into the elements of destiny" Pierre Emmanuel (Noel Mathieu) French writer, Buadelaire. The old Story Board technique of Walt Disney as explained by Mike Vance, consists of placing all situations, problems and in their case, animation's in succession on a wall for better prospective viewing. So you being your own partner can see what you're thinking. This technique of sequential picturing and outlining will stimulate other ideas. Clarified in articles on a StoryBoard. Paste them in a book or wall. 4. "Generally, the theories we believe we call facts and the facts we disbelieve we call theories." Felix Cohen. If you're going to be innovative with your partner you better have a good understanding of his or her limitations and perceptions. Don't create a losing situation with false and unreal expectations. 5. "Creativity in science could be described as the act of putting 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; it is a sharing game. Have a clear understanding of the shot and long-term goals. In order to understand your partner better and how you, he or she reacts, initiate more short-term goals 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 matter of sharing responsibilities and delegation. Since you must take equal risks with your partner then it behooves each of you to share all experiences. This includes the trauma and rewards. 7. "Basic research is when I'm doing what I don't know I'm doing." Wernher Von Braun, German Scientist, in The Faber Book of Aphorisms, 1964 Don't get stuck behind the desk or you'll lose total contact with your partner's world. Always continue to be exposed and aware of the elementary basics. 8. "A creative person needs a certain amount of insecurity to maintain 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 of other thoughts of your partner. Don't let the synergy wander to far apart. 9. "It is explained that all relationships require a - little give and take. This is untrue. Any partnership demands that we give and give and give and at the last, as we flop into our grave exhausted, we are told that we didn't give enough." Quinten Crsip, Bristish writer, How To Become a Virgin 1981. In a world of desensitization and the dehumanizing of human contact you better have direct contact and understanding in person with your partner. The competition is vicious and evasive enough without creating the feeling of isolation with in 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 is everything. This is critical in our personal and global transitional exploding world of change. Change is so dramatic and quick those strategic partnerships must be in total 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.
