Finding Purpose in New Friends

You never know when you might make a new friend, sometimes they seem to come out of nowhere. But, as the energy of the Universe does its thing, they are often just what you or they needed at the time. Such was the case recently when I met a very talented and gifted woman at a conference that I spoke at. For privacy’s sake we’ll call her Susan. Susan and I hit it off right away. Don’t you love it when that happens? She had a smile that was so welcoming and warm that I knew we were destined to be good friends.

As I regularly write this blog and speak on Purpose as part of my TRIP Technique™ I mostly talk about it as a way to strengthen your resolve in business applications. But it can also open a doorway to new experiences in other avenues in your life.

From our first meeting Susan gifted me with wonderful insight on TRIP that she gleaned from my keynote. Her perspective was spiritual, emotional, and yet, still applicable to life in business. She saw things in my path through Nepal that were metaphorical to why I was there in the first place and how it would impact me for the rest of my life.

Have you ever had someone explain your own words to you in such a new and remarkable way that it takes your breath away? I love it when someone opens a door to a new way of thinking!

So often we get caught up in our own purpose so tightly that we don’t see the other possibilities until someone like Susan comes along and smacks you upside the head and awakens us to a plethora of new ways to see ourselves.

As our friendship has grown, I’ve mentored her with my view of blogging and speaking and she has brought a breath of fresh air to my perspectives…which frankly, had grown a little stale.

My son and I have this conversation frequently that I should bring more of my understanding of the spirituality of Law of Attraction, TRIP and how it fits into business…this is also what Susan has highlighted about what she got from my speech.

I’m sure some of you will find this a little woo-woo but there is an energy to this way of thinking and processing that adds value to your purpose, and I will be pursuing it a little more in the future.

In the meantime, be open to new friends and their perspectives, it may surprise you with insight you didn’t expect.

Remember to take a TRIP for a lifetime, not a trip of a lifetime.



In the end, it’s just one man’s opinion…mine.
