Sometimes I’ll meet someone, a friend of a friend, and notice, they don’t like me. Seriously. Something about me bothers them. Or perhaps just doesn’t interests them.
They’ll ignore me. They’ll have cheap conversations with me. They’ll be awkward with me.
And vise versa. I’ve caught myself doing the same to others. It’s interesting.
Just like how people have different taste in lovers, people have different taste in others as well.
We naturally find things we don’t like in others.
We naturally find people similar to us attractive.
Personally, I hate the feeling I get when I notice someone doesn’t care for me or leaves me or doesn’t want me.
But I’ve realized something… The universe doesn’t make mistakes.
If someone leaves me because they don’t want me, it simply means I’m not the one whose going to make a difference in their life. That’s it. It goes for all my relationships that don’t work out or last. The universe has other motives. If I indulge in the drama, get resigned, get all cynical, and stop making new friends, stop connecting, I’ll never make the impact I know I’m supposed to make with whom the universe has in mind.
We all have people we were meant to have an amazing connection with. When we meet them, together we’ll create something that’ll shake the world.
The question is, have you stopped networking?
