Day 20 - Connect on a deeper level

I have already challenged you to go out and meet someone new (Day 5), but today is about getting to know someone you already know on a deeper level. Call someone up and invite them to coffee or to go grab a bite to eat. The challenge is to go beyond the typical conversation. For example, instead of just talking about work, as usual, talk about what they do outside of work or personal ambitions they may have.

Some possible topics include:
- Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
- How did you choose your career?
- What are some of your greatest successes in life? Some of your greatest lessons learned?
- What do you want out of life? How are you going to get it?
- What do you believe in? (Not necessarily faith or religion)
- What is your dream for the world? Why isn't it that way?
- What are your fears?
- What makes you happy?

People are fascinating if you take the time to listen to them. Each person also has a story; how they came to be the person they are today. So, find out what their story is today, and share your own with them. Have fun with it and enjoy Day 20's challenge.
