Well, that depends on the desired result! Is your goal to *get*, or to *be*?

For instance, let's say I want to be in a LLTMBR, and I'm not. Of course if I'm smart I'll take actions towards my goal, like signing up on eHarmony or asking my friends to keep me in mind for potential match-ups, etc.

But even more powerful is who I'm being, which is entirely a matter of what I'm thinking. If I am wanting to be in LLTBR but I'm thinking, "men disappoint women" or "all men cheat" or "I wish I were thinner and prettier", my results would be phenomenally less successful than if I were being, "I am alert to the beauty and vitality of everyone I meet." Without taking any action at all, I have transformed who I'm being (okay, well, transforming IS an action! ) and simply by going about the business of who I am, the likelihood of meeting wonderful potential partners is exponentially increased. I wouldn't necessarily be consciously changing what I do; but my actions would naturally and un-self-consciously be more *attractive* in the sense that I'd be available to what I want to attract, instead of repulsive.

Plus, I would be a more joyful person when I'm just sitting around alone, too.
