Too many people are forcing their connections with others. 

Stop trying to figure out “how to win friends and influence people.”

You should be focused on becoming who you want to be: the most healthy, smart, wise, wealthy, happy version of yourself, and you will naturally meet a lot of people during the process.

Most encounters will lead nowhere, a few encounters will be life-changing, and these will often be very serendipitous and unexpected.

Remember that great friendships are effortless; your vibes and values feel aligned, you will understand each other even without talking much, you will want the best for each other, there will be no drama or misunderstanding, and you will look back many years from now, and it will be obvious that you were meant to write one or many chapters together.
