Don't focus on Meeting new People

Focus on Tightening your Existing Connections

Think about when you had the most amount of friends and connections. Was it during a time when you were experiencing life with a group of people? Were you spending lots of hours together doing various activities?

Most likely yes, because repeat experiences working toward a goal is a great way to build connection. But it’s more than just working in your career. A lot of people have their closest connection develop in College. Everyone is working toward a goal to get a degree. They live together, they eat together, they study together, they see each other in the Classrooms and the halls.

You would think you spend more time together at Work, why aren’t you best friends with everyone at your Work who you spend 40 hours a week with? Well it has to do with Stress and Motivation. College is full of Romantic relationships, friend like relationships while work you are forced to work with who’s there. You have to put up with them, College you get to choose who you live with, date and even just hang out with. There are exceptions in both environments, but the College environment is a lot more conducive to living a meaningful life than Working for a Paycheck.

So remember those long lost relationships you had, you might find that what you were missing in those 40 hour work weeks was just a little connection.

Until Tomorrow,
