GM nostr 🌞 "It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude." - RWE Do not give in to the pressure around you to conform into some kind of boxed personality or behavior framework. Let your thoughts words and actions flow from your soul's response to the present moment. Don't let the thoughts words and actions of people around you confine your identity.

GM nostr 🌞 You can just host meetups

GM nostr 🌞 Generating a community around you takes leadership and initiative. Just like with your finances and health if you are not proactive in gathering like valued people around you, it will not just happen on its own. I know quite a few successful 50+ year olds who thought that love and relationships would simply happen once they got their finance and fitness ducks in a row. Now they are struggling. Affirm to yourself: “I love that I’m at the cause and not the effect of everything that happens in my life.”

“What I must do is all that concerns me, not what the people think. This rule, equally arduous in actual and in intellectual life, may serve for the whole distinction between greatness and meanness. It is the harder because you will always find those who think they know what is your duty better than you know it. It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.” - RW Emerson
