I know this isn’t a solo adventure, but have you thought of being a volunteer for a something? Like a community kitchen, a conservation commission, a rails-to-trails committee/worker, an inmate advocate, a Big Brother/Big Sister, etc.? It may not seem all that awesome or cool, but if you care for or have empathy for others, you will get to meet like-minded people with these activities. Think outside the box…there are a lot of opportunities to improve yourself, get a great recommendation for your work and improve who you are as a person.

Honestly…if I could go back in time and make some changes in my past, I would focus more on what I could have done that was service-oriented. I focused on me and where I would end up and how much I would earn…sure, it got me where I wanted to be and it keeps my family secure & happy, but I think I would feel a lot better about my life path had I given more time to service for others and actually made a difference in this world. Just a thought. Sorry for weighing in so heavily.
