I have grown so much due to the folks around me that completely disagree with most of what I say. While its nice to enjoy the company of like minded people, most of my best friends often tell me how full of crap I am. It is a real asset to have such friends.
I recently had dinner with a good friend. It was intended to be a business dinner but it ended up being several good beers and a "come to Jesus". I dont think either of us expected it. It was totaly unplanned. Maybe that is what contributed to the candor and transparency. There was no arguing or anything like that. It was just a lengthy, open exchange of ideas about the problems that faced us both. Our problems are very different but I found that his thoughts on my issues where so insightfull. We are two very different people and his take on my issues helped so much. I hope he fells the same about my comments on his life.
Do yourself a favor my friends. Surround yourself with folks that you have little in common with. Let them get to know you and you do the same for them. You will find that this diverse pool of knowledge will bring so much good to you.
I hope you enjoyed checking in with me. I enjoyed you being here. Bring some friends next time.
