Do you make eye-contact, not looking around for someone more interesting to talk to?

Do you dance naked in your living room, grateful to be alive (or the equivalent), are you in awe of the universe, life, and your God-given gift of being a human, with your ability to feel your emotions, all of them, to the depths of your being? When you were in a relationship did you use the love you shared to honor the gift of your humanness, to squeeze everything possible out of the life you shared? Or do you live each day blind to the fantastic diversity of life that swirls around you, your nose too close to the grindstone to see what's really worthwhile, forgetting to notice that you are a magnificent gift to this planet?

Do you express your creativity? When you were in a relationship did you encourage each other to continue to learn new things, then share them with each other, staying interesting and interested?

21) I am always growing, working toward becoming the best person I can possibly be.
Do you look at life's experiences, especially the uncomfortable or painful ones, as opportunities to grow? Do you read books, take workshops and go out of your way to understand yourself so that you can be a happier, more effective person? Do you take full responsibility for your outcome, no matter what? When you were in a relationship were you in the habit of seeing both sides of the dance, how everything that happened between you was partly your doing and partly theirs? Did you understand that relationship, more than anything else in life, is the greatest challenge and therefore, the greatest opportunity to learn and grow? Or do you tend to blame others for what's going on for you, assuming they are the cause of your reactions? Or are you unaware that life is about constantly evolving into the best version of yourself that you can imagine, and with each step forward, your capacity to be happy, to love and be loved, grows?
