Who Is Your Ideal Mate?

We all have a rough idea of what our perfect partner is like: beautiful, or smart, or rich, or educated, or tall, or petite, or pale, or dark, or handsome, or fit, with this car, or with that house or whatever else that strikes our fancy.

The problem comes when we find ourselves in a relationship and we are constantly comparing our partners with this conjured-up ‘perfect’ person. When that happens, we stop appreciating our partner for all the beautiful qualities they do possess. The truth is this perfect person does not exist. More importantly, we may not actually need all of these qualities in a partner to be extraordinarily happy.

What we need is to identify the most important qualities that we must have in order to feel satisfied and fulfilled. By not having identified the must-have qualities in our chosen life partner, we end up settling, and since the person cannot give us the things we truly need, we start to resent them. This will snowball into larger issues.

For example, if height is something that is really important to you, and your partner does not meet that height requirement, regardless of how much they try, they will never grow taller or shrink shorter, and this will bug you and affect your union.

In life, we will get random results if we have not specified what we want. Identifying and understanding what it is that we need in a relationship, allows us to set clear intentions, and in doing so, moves us closer to realizing our intended desires.

Definition of Perfect Couple.

Thats a very great question. It's really hard to answer thought because we all have a different perception of what "perfect" is. It's the same as if you ask what's a perfect phone. Everyone has an opinion, right. So for me a relationship will be perfect, for you it won't. There are, of course, basics that everyone agrees on, such as the two people getting along, supporting eachother, respecting eachother, etc. , but even then those basics may be situational. And yes, like most people have already said, no one is perfect. Two unperfect humans can't have a perfect relationship. It's always going to be ups and down, but we judge a good and bad relationshps by the ratio of downs to ups.

How to Help the Homeless

1 Donate money. The easiest way to help the homeless is to donate your money. This makes sure that professionals who understand where the most help is needed will have the resources necessary to help people.

• When you donate money, focus on local organizations. Large, national organizations (like the Salvation Army) spend a lot of their money on advocacy (which is good) but relatively little on actually helping people, especially in your area.
• You can also donate to local churches, temples, mosques, and other religious organizations, even if you aren't religious. These organizations have other sources of income to deal with the operating costs, so your money should go directly to helping people.
• If you want to check on a local organization and make sure that it is legit and uses its funds responsibly, then go to the GuideStar website. This is a sort of BBB of non-profit organizations.

Donate items. Donating your used or new items is another easy way to help. Donate these items to local organizations which help the homeless or give them to homeless people you see frequently. The best items to donate include things like:

• Winter and weather gear (such as hats, mittens, coats, and boots)
• New underwear and socks
• Small hygiene items (like the type of items you get at hotels, small containers of toothpaste, etc.)
• Professional clothing (a hurdle to overcoming homelessness is looking presentable at job interviews)
• First aid items (such as Neosporin, Band-Aids, antibacterial and hand sanitizers)
• Secondary medical items (such as sunscreen, heavy duty lotions like Bag Balm, allergy medication and tissues)

Provide food. Everyone needs to eat and they need to eat every single day. If you're hungry, your ability to make good decisions for yourself isn't very good, right? There are lots of ways that you can help homeless people get food.

• You can donate canned items and fresh fruits and vegetables to local soup kitchens.
• You can also drop off bananas, apples, or sandwiches, all of which you can get for cheap and in mass quantities from stores like Costco, with people you see on the street. Try to favor softer foods, such as bananas, because many individuals have dental problems that make eating apples or carrots difficult.

4 Create jobs. If you're in a position where you can give someone a job, do that. Whether it's offering to hire and train someone in a position like a secretary or file clerk, or just letting them do odd jobs like mowing your lawn, this can really make a huge difference for someone.

5 Contact local help. If you see people on the streets, one of the best things you can do for them is to call the local homeless services. Some people may not know how to locate help and so they never get it. Call for them and get them on the path to recovery.

6 Call emergency services. If someone is clearly having a serious problem, call emergency services. If you see someone who is clearly having a psychotic episode, call the Emergency Services. If you see someone who may be a danger to themselves or others, call for help also. If someone is in danger because of weather conditions or seems likely to commit suicide, call Emergency Services also.

Emergency housing advice

Contact your council

You can apply to the council for help as a homeless person if you don't have anywhere to live. The council has to provide accommodation immediately while it makes enquiries into your situation. 

Local councils have to give advice to people who are homeless or will be homeless soon. All councils should operate a 24-hour service for people in emergency situations and should publish an out-of-hours emergency number. 

Use the local council finder to find your local council's website, or use our directory to find details of your local council's housing department.
