Finding people like you is tough. Ignorance made me think I was the only one who had difficulty finding people who thought the same as me. I’m not. You’re not either.
No matter how many people we can share similarities with (there are a lot!), very few seem to just click. Taking away from the romance of the two pieces of a puzzle that fit together, I have to break it to you that there are no two, three, or four piece puzzles that work. At least none that are any appealing.
The puzzle concept is a fair analogy. You, one piece of the puzzle, fit perfectly together with only a couple other pieces. That doesn’t mean you’re complete. Nor will you ever feel complete with only a few perfect pieces. Should you reject all the other pieces that connect with each other and with those who you connect with, simply because they can’t connect directly with you? Of course not.
This is the Connection Economy. No one said it was the Perfect Connection Economy.
Connect with as many as you can, no matter how weak or strong the tie will be. Pretty soon, you’ll have pieces fighting over each other to be closest to you. But, you’ll never get there if you reject all those who don’t think exactly like you.
One is lonely, two is company, a hundred is one hell of a party.
Stay Positive & Who Doesn’t Want That?
