Thoughts on Making Friends & Dating
Listen now
Description
I get asked fairly often—usually by young males in our community—about how to find a girlfriend.  I also get asked about how to make friends.  It seems like a lot of people are feeling lonely and isolated.  I definitely don't consider myself an expert on "girls and making friends" (is there such a thing?), but I'm happy to share what's worked for me.  Honestly, because there's SO MUCH variance in what people like, it's hard to say we should do certain things to appeal to all people.  In my opinion, the more we overthink about how to "crack the code" behind getting a significant other or making friends, the worse things get.  My recommendation is to work on yourself in all aspects—mentally, physically, spiritually, financially, emotionally, psychologically... Everything. This is a worthwhile pursuit in its own right.  At the same time, give to others and help people while expecting nothing in return—whenever possible. I go into the video about how we don't need to "give until we hurt" or overextend ourselves. It's okay to help ourselves first or distance ourselves from those who hurt us. However, giving to others without an ulterior motive is so rare nowadays that it truly makes you stand out. Doing so creates opportunity for you and everyone involved. It's just one of the best things you can do whenever you have a chance to manifest opportunity, build relationships, and cultivate a better life.  When we do all of these things, then the rest is left up to chance. I decided not to say "left up to destiny" because that sounded cheesy, but that's really what it is as well.  To build relationships, make yourself a person you would want to be friends with, help others, and you'll start building a community around yourself. Within this community, some will be lovers, others can be business partners, and others may just be good friends.  I hope that makes sense! I know I'm speaking quickly in this video haha. I was happy.

In this video, I discuss the popular notion of pushing ourselves out of our comfort zones to foster personal growth, especially within fitness circles. While discomfort can drive adaptation and growth, it may only be part of the equation. I discuss "experiential introspection" and illustrate it...
