Seven game-changing things I learned that helped me find more harmony with other people
Over the years, other people have brought me pain and joy in about equal measure.

Compatibility is a myth.
You don’t have better relationships when you’re more compatible.
Thinking you need to be compatible creates tension because your relationship is now based on conditions. Welcome difference. Be open to new ideas.
Allow others to be a source of growth for you.

Your attention is on you and trying to look cool.
