You're playing it safe and boring right now. You're on your phone during your commute. You're staring at social media while you're waiting in line at the coffee shop. Here you are missing out on all these opportunities for connection that bring you energy, that give you a little boost of happiness, that make you healthier, and that could just change the trajectory of your life. You're missing so many opportunities to connect with people. You're feeling lonely? Here's how you actually address it. Start going first. Start saying hello to people. Start tapping into that energy and those little boosts that are all around you. Some of the most favorite people that you will meet in your lifetime are people you haven't met yet.
