Weak Ties Matter



It's powerful to surround yourself with like-minded individuals. Maintain your most nearest and dearest of friendships. Be selective of who's in your inner circle of friends.

However, I do think acquaintances are seriously undervalued. Acquaintances & casual friendships are valuable too! And have great impact on your well-being. Whether you realise it or not, your weak connections actually have some significance.

It's also necessary to be around people who have different perspectives and diversity of thoughts and experiences to help you become more open-minded and to look at the world through a different lens.

"Observe your environment, at work, at school, at home. I'm asking you to look at people around you purposefully and intentionally. Invite people into your life who don't look like you, don't think like you, don't act like you, don't come from where you come from and you might find that they will challenge your assumptions and make you grow as a person." - Mellody Hobson


Lots o' Love, Linda
