Welcome to Day 6 of The Connection Challenge, a 7-part series about creating, cultivating, and maximizing personal and professional relationships.
Here’s what we’ve covered so far:
Day 1: Show yourself a little love
Day 5: The mirror test
Here’s what we’re covering today…
Today, we’re tackling one of the hardest things to do in modern life:
Making friends as an adult.
When you were a kid, making friends was easy. You just walked outside to recess, saw someone on the swings, and asked to play.
In high school and college, proximity did all the heavy lifting for you. If you shared a dorm room, you became friends.
But as an adult, that proximity disappears.
Work gets demanding. You get tired. You go home, watch Netflix, go to sleep, and slowly but surely, your social circle starts to shrink.
If you want to build a thriving network of friends as an adult, you’ve got to understand one core problem:
Everybody is playing defense…
Everyone’s sitting on their couch, looking at their phones, waiting for somebody else to initiate.
Everyone wants to be invited, but nobody wants to do the inviting…
