Listen to someone who’s from a different culture than yours. Because they come from such a different background, they see things in another way. And while that could sometimes cause conflict, it can also provide you with a great deal of inspiration. When you pay attention to things that don’t make sense to you and really try to understand them, you grow. It’s as simple as that. If you are feeling stuck in a rut, get into a conversation with someone who lives by a different creed.

A step or two is missing in your dating game plan. No, really. You might have triple-checked it, but something essential isn’t in there. What about having fun? Loosen up, lighten up, and your mood will take a step up.

A new network of friends helps you and your partner break out of a rut. This, in turn, lets the two of you explore opportunities for more money and career opportunities.

Don’t indulge greedy feelings, even when it comes to people instead of objects. Do you really want someone in your life or would they just look good there? How would you feel if money weren’t an issue?
