I don't usually find anything I haven't heard before in this genre of thread, but these are some profound ideas. Thank you!
> There are many, many awesome people living in integrity, creating with open hearts and rich imagination. You can be one of them; the easiest way is to join their communities and friendships.
This is what I struggle with the most. (As do many others in my generation, I think.) How does one discover such communities?
- andrei_says_ 9y agoDwell in this question while noticing the people around you. Approach the ones you truly admire (not the ones you envy). One in n will be open to a conversation. Feed the relationships that give you the space to be yourself and seem to want from you the contributions you love giving. Being yourself means being vulnerably honest with the aspects of yourself which you don’t yet love. I think that’s most obvious with artists. And please give it time. Took a decade to have some of my acquaintances get distilled in into friendships.
- tmaly 9y agoI think at a much younger age I had more flexibility and time to do this. I still think it is a worthy pursuit.
- andrei_says_ 9y agoLook at it this way: it doesn’t take more time to notice the presence of a certain color in your surroundings.
