This post is Day 24 of the 31 Days to Reset Your Life Challenge for 2011. Learn more and sign up for the program here.
Yesterday, you joined a community to support your goals. Whatever community you chose to join – whether online or offline – it’s not going to do you any good if you don’t connect with the people in it! So today, you’re going to make a new friend. The idea is that through your new networks, you now have new opportunities for mutual support. The more like-minded people you align yourself with, the less lonely it will be on the road toward reaching your goals.
Think about the people you’ve encountered so far in your community of support. Who have been the folks that you’ve “clicked” with the most? Make a list of at least three people you’ve met recently that you have something in common with. Or maybe just those who have a similar outlook for their future and goals for life. These are your potential new friends!
Your next step can take the form of any of the following:
- Invite them to meet up for coffee, lunch, drinks or dinner
- Ask them to join you for an upcoming event of mutual interest – perhaps a seminar, conference, happy hour, concert, play, art gallery, or party
- Call, Skype, email or text them to see how they’ve been doing since the last time you saw them
Remember, real friendships take time! You’re just taking the first step now to build a new relationship that will support and uplift you in your ongoing journey to live a successful life.
