“If you were listening to this and you would like to just lean into something differently, make three phone calls or three outreaches. The first call will be to reach out and talk to someone that you haven't talked to in a long time and get over yourself. Oh, I should have called, you know, because when we feel bad about doing something, we don't do it for even longer because that's all off now. And so it's reaching back to someone from your past, or someone that you just would really like to re-establish a connection with, and let it see where it takes you. Another one would be simply reaching to someone in your present life that you typically, when you're too busy, don't have the time. And that you would really like to connect with, or that you know might be struggling. Because being of service is really important. People need to feel useful. Reach out to someone that maybe could use your help or think might be happy to hear from you. And the third reach would be to contact someone that you want in your future.”
