Constantly Expanding

I think you'll hear me say this over and over.

I am a HUGE proponent of constantly expanding social circles.

The gist of it goes like this.

You live in your me-centric world. You have friends, let's say four or five close ones. Everything you do is inside that world or you and your friends. It is nice, stable but a little bit insular.

What do you do? Go do something you enjoy. Meet new people. DO things with them. You now have two groups of friends. The groups may mingle and come up with all kinds of new configurations. But, instead of one circle of friends, you are dealing with two.

In any group of friends there is at least a little diversity of interest. The more people you know the more exposure to new and interesting things you will get. You may get to tag along.

So you try something new, you may like it and you may not.

The point is you are out there LIVING IN THE WORLD. You are taking bites of life, learning new things, DOING NEW THINGS.

I think that is what makes life more fun.
