Turning yourself inside out to make friends is a slippery slope.
Too quickly you may regret the changes that you’ve had to make in the name of friendship and it’s difficult to sustain that which doesn’t come naturally.
When I was divorced, a counselor said to me, spend more time working on the person you want to be not the one you want to meet.
How powerful that was.
And it is true in all kinds of relationships.
Who do you want to be in that friendship?
What kind of a co-worker or boss do you want to be?
What are the four values that guide your happiness (if we don’t know, we should reflect on it)?
And, what four qualities do I like most in others.
When we know where we are going, we have a better chance of getting there.
Meeting nice people starts by being introduced to ourselves first.
