Standards and Impressions

     Its said that se70%enty Percent of f1rst impressions forever stick.  Unshakable...Unchangeable....undeniably regrettable because that limits ones' ability to mold a connection with another person.  People can and do evolve.  Sometimes people misrepresent themselves, sometimes they might be misunderstood...in either case, if 1st impressions are the sole operator on the relationship road...a worthwhile individual could be left on the roadside...thumb up and all.
Hitch this thought

Why is it that people do not find themselves in healthy and stable relationships...?

Several reasons...lets start with---

if you keep your standards too high that will eliminate potential suitors that might be highly compatible with your personality.  How much happier will someone be if they surround themselves with kindred individuals that create agreeable environments.  (Just as an aside...looks change too...)  Why is it that you are never happy?  No one is ever good enough...never satisfied...blah blah blah

First impressions are tricky...because we are told to trust our instincts.  First impression seem to be forever remembered.  First impressions in many ways create the standard, and if we disagree with that benchmark, we would tend to deviate from any "recurrence" of experiencing an encore.  Perhaps a consequent rendezvous would be more of an honest representation of whom the individual might actually be...better exposing any potential connection

If your mind remains closed...expect few knocks

     Release your consciousness

           Allow for growth

                And you will never know who will answer

if Not, then expect what you put in...

au revoir
