Some thoughts on finding what you're meant to do! Using experiential introspection can not only help us learn more about ourselves, but what we may want to explore in the future. When we find what we want, sometimes it can deeply resonate within us.

Thoughts on gratitude!

Some thoughts! This video was filmed in response to a friend worried about becoming an adult and having to make a living, pay bills, and other fun grownup stuff. It definitely is a change for some people, but the outlook is not as daunting as it may seem.

Here are some thoughts on friendship!I think there are at least 2 parts to this:1.) Finding new opportunities to meet people and make friends2.) Learning to be a better friend.Shared experiences can help grow friendships. We can do this by pursuing a passion. This is sometimes done through some combination of the following:a.) building somethingb.) joining others in a mutually shared pursuit (like fitness, art, or warm beverages)A good goal for being a better friend might be to learn to treat our friends the way we'd want them to treat us.However, as usual, we can remember that while personal development can be a lifelong journey, we'll sometimes meet people that connect with us better than others. It can benefit us to be introspective and reflect on ways we can improve. On the other hand, it can also benefit us to remember that not everyone is going to like us (or vice versa) and that may be fine.
