But I realized, in my not so distant past, I had already been trying to do that for a very long time and it made me very miserable. I can't tell you how many groups I tried joining before I started this blog. When I was on the last leg of my college schooling I joined a ton of groups, the wrong groups, and I even joined a lot of groups during my career job. (I know I said to join a ton of groups while in school, but towards the end of your college career, groups become less effective as most people your age have already found their cliques and girlfriends through groups so they tend to do them less and less. That's why I'm so adamant about finding your college club day for your freshman year in my college guide.) Looking back, the best groups …show more content…

That's not true. You're in a relationship with anyone in your close proximity. And by that, I mean anyone you can see right now in front of you. And that's how our brains are wired to work, to interact with other humans face to face, not on the internet. And I bet the people standing right in front of you are willing to help you more than you think. In the theme of going with the flow, life is about resourcefulness, not how many resources you have. And being resourceful is about using the resources in front of you. And the best and most effective resources you have are the people with you right now.

Throwing yourself into a new life situation or seeking out new groups isn't the answer. The people right in front of you are. And I guess that's why I made sure to have my blog end with the article about telling the people closest to you what is on your mind. It's that important. Only when I turned to other people close to me for help was there a big shift in my life. Asking for Help is Hard I keep coming to the same conclusion. People are the key to the change we desire. However, asking for help is hard, finding that courage isn't easy. It's like the whole cold approaching women thing (heck, even my answer in that article is to join a group). But when you finally do it (approach a woman or ask someone for help), it feels amazing and you realize it wasn't that big of a deal. First, you have to accept that asking for help isn't bad. Actually, it's a good thing. I've talked about the secret to life being to make other people happy. And that random acts of kindness make people happier than anything else. By asking for help, you're giving other people an opportunity to perform a random act of kindness. Sure, there are some people you should never ask for help, but that's just a matter of listening to your
