Expect the best

Late one Friday afternoon as I was preparing for what was going to be a wonderful weekend, the phone rang and it was Louise*, one of my clients. I had hardly greeted her when she went into a tirade about the last person I had introduced her to. She hauled me over the coals and complained loud and long about all the people on my books.

Reeling from the shock, I felt stunned, because another client of mine, Anne*, who had a similar high-profile (both were early 40’s, very attractive and CEO’s of their companies), had met exactly the same people (also high-profile professionals and successful entrepreneurs), and had enjoyed herself immensely in the process. Anne had also always taken the time to thank me for introducing her to such nice men and they had liked her a lot as well.

They had met exactly the same people, but how Louise and Anne saw them differed like night and day. Anne was always prepared to believe the best of people and they never disappointed her. Louise was looking for fault and had a critical spirit, so people never lived up to her expectations. I have since lost contact with Louise and doubt if she has found happiness. Anne is today engaged to Fred*, who is the man of her dreams, and is excited about building a future with him.

The above true stories have brought home to me that our attitude towards life and people is of paramount importance. We reap what we sow and like a magnet, we attract people to ourselves who have similar mindsets. If we work on ourselves to be the best we can be, we can confidently expect to make friends with the best kind of people. I have found that people who place their full trust in me as a matchmaker invariably go on to meet the partner of their dreams.
