Don’t forget that everyone, even grownups, should play!

Do you remember the days when your best friend would call you or ride a bike over to your house, where they would play in the sprinkler, go to the ice cream shop, or explore the neighborhood? It’s easy to forget how important it is to have real friends around you as life goes on and people get older. When men and women are in their mid-twenties, personal reflection and changes can frequently reveal that important friendships and time spent playing outside have taken precedence over work and family obligations. Knowing that it is never too late to call a friend and go for some unplanned fun is one of the keys to living an exceptional life.

“Each friend represents a world in us, a world of possibility not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born,” Anaiis Nin once said about the power of friendship, exploration, and self-discovery. We all want to connect with other people, to feel truly seen, heard, and valued for who we are, and to be a part of a family, community, or community. We want to be loved and loved by others. This starts with how we show up, how we choose to build relationships in our lives, and what our goal is. As with everything else in life, if we commit to living an exceptional life but feel disconnected from others, we have a chance to forge new friendships or rekindle old ones.
