So much about the mental health conversation is appropriately about self awareness is it's about mindfulness, it's about taking care of our stressors and a lot of it.

Is that solo work that we all.

Have to do for self mastery. And at growth day I'm always talking about that wellness triangle that what we all really want after we've had everything is first and foremost we want aliveness. We want that sense of aliveness where there's energy, there's pop, there's a vibrancy, a presence, a spirit to our life. And guess what, a lot of your aliveness in life actually comes from your friendships, right? Think about some of your favorite moments of your life. They were either with family, friends or lovers, right? Or lover. I don't know if it's plural for you. I gotta Tell you, this is gonna be a fun one today. You have to decide like, oh, wait, wait a minute, do I feel alive? And I can tell you if you have a sense, like, oh gosh, I just don't feel alive anymore. We gotta get to the root of that. And a big of that is how you are struct, structuring your social reality. And very few people don't do that. I'm going to share with you a secret today, just a simple phrase. You're going to go, oh my gosh, that's why my friendships aren't going right. So you're going to love this session. I say that triangle, right, of well being that we talk about growth day aliveness is one of the things we all want after we had everything else. Another thing we want is connection. We're not after casual friendships here today. We're at like, how do I create authentic, deep, trusting, vulnerable, fun, real relationships? Because how many of you have ever had friendships that turned out to be fake? You thought you had a good friendship and that thing turned out to be not so good or poisonous or you know, somebody, like, they weren't loyal to you as a friend, or they lied to you or something went wrong, you thought, how could that happen in that relationship? And I always tell like, friendships are a science of relationship. It's about how you create relationship with others. And I'm going to give you again a phrase that will really help you with this today. And then if it's true that we want aliveness and connection, this triangle, another thing that we want is meaning. Well, meaning isn't achieved just by living your purpose each day in your own head. Meaning is achieved through a social relationship network. My sense of meaning is, do I feel connected to the world? And the world isn't an abstract thing. It's not like I feel connected to the oak tree. It's like, no, I mean, did I feel, did you make your difference in the world that's going to be served and answered through your social impact, your relationships with others. And I have to tell you, I've been coaching people for 20 years of my life now. And a lot of people have one friend. You know, in the United States, unfortunately, the number of people with three good friends has declined over the decades. You're like three good friends. Oh, we got to talk about that. Because some people stumble into friendships or hope for friendships. Just like some people hope to have a loving relationship, just like some people hope to have a good job, just like some people hope that they get healthier and then there's strivers who take life a little bit by the reins and say, no, no, no, let me architect that. Let me build that. Like, a sense of meaning happens when we have a tapestry of social relationships that are real and impactful.

And then of course, in the middle of that triangle, you always see me draw out growth. Your friend should be lifting you up, not pushing you down. Your friend should be inspiring you to get better. Your friends should have your back, but also be willing to challenge your face. You know what I'm saying? Like, your friends are, are, and should be one of your primary growth drivers in life. Most people choose ambitious goals to be their growth driver. Oh, I'm going to do something that's hard or I'm going to try to achieve this amazing thing. I'm going to try to become a millionaire or make this difference or build this company or, you know, have this type of family and it's this external climb, this thing they're trying to achieve. And too many people forget. It's like, actually one of the best drivers of growth isn't your job, isn't your goals, it's your friendship circle. And when your friendship circles make you a more alive, deeper, caring, thoughtful, authentic person in the world, I'm telling you what, guess what? At work, you're better. At home, you're Better, your art gets better, your sense of life lifts. And so in studying this work deeply over the years in recognizing how many people are entrepreneurs, high achievers, people who are trying to make great impact in the world, you're here today. And sometimes that journey can feel very lonely. Or when you get to the top, it can feel lonely, they say. And I'm like, I kind of believe what my friend Brian Tracy and mentor said to me one time. He said, if it's lonely at the top, you did it wrong. I thought, ooh, that's good, that's good. Because maybe sometimes we value today progress. We value today getting things done. We value that top mountain of achievement. And then we look around and go, oh, nobody really knows me. I don't feel a connection to others. Yeah, I got the thing, the house, the car, the bank account, the accolades, the Instagram page. And all of a sudden, though, something's missing. And friendship is one of the greatest vehicles to the real psychology of well.
