A buddy of mine said to me, “Yeah, I’m going to have to plan another get together… because if I don’t do it then it won’t happen.”
…And isn’t this the truth for so many of us in life?
Unless, of course, you’re one of the lucky ones who has a “connection facilitator” in your life that does the inviting, planning, organizing, messaging, and hosting.
Which is essentially what I said back to this buddy of mine: They’re lucky to have you.
Because it takes courage and work and time to facilitate a successful gathering—even if it’s with good friends.
And if you’re one of the rare ones who’s doing this on a regular basis, and is swimming up against the societal norms of digital “connection” and screen time interactions—and is facilitating IRL meet ups and get togethers—thank you.
…You’re doing more for your community than you might ever truly know.
And if you’re not… an inner work prompt to reflect on is… what’s stopping you from becoming one?
