Relationships are the key to life. And I’m not just talking about romantic relationships, about love and dating. I’m talking about all the impactful relationships you’ll ever form in your life. All of them have helped shape who you are now and they’ll continue to shape how your life will unfold and what you will become. “No man is an island,” they say. Yet, they’re an aspect of life that so many people struggle with.

Finding the right crowd and keeping them around is no easy task. And if I had to take a guess, I’d say the hardest part of building and sustaining healthy, happy relationships is doing the work on ourselves that make us someone that the kind of people we want to be around, want to be around.

I repeat: you have to become someone that the kind of people you want to be around, want to be around. It’s better to attract friendships and camaraderie than it is to pursue it and “obtain” it in any way. Whether we seek romantic love, business partnerships, friendships, or other kinds of relationships, it’s invariably better to attract the kind of people you want to be around than it is to pursue them and convince them to be around you all the time.
