What makes for a happy, healthy, and long life?
The results of a 75-year-long scientific study are in...!!
And the results say... A happy, healthy, and long life comes from...
...Good relationships!
That means family and friends (I presume)...
Loneliness literally kills...
So - be social!
If you find it hard to find friends, it's a good idea to get involved in something... It's a lot easier than it used to be, I think...
For example, I started my own Meetup.com group once to find others in my city interested in Chinese movies - an interest that developed from watching kung fu movies as a kid... You can also start your own group, or join an existing one... It's also a good marketing tool for any local, "social"-type of business! I used it to also market a commercial movie screening I organized with a partner...
Anyway, just a few thoughts to share while we're still early in 2016!
