Domino: Suffering is partially a matter of perspective and of our mindset. In full view of our suffering on any scale, we still have choices: feed the pain or change our perspective. Question for you: What is the source of your most persistent suffering? Think about something in your life that has frustrated or challenged you for a long time—why is this still causing pain? The benefit of having many positive, growing relationships is a Return on Genius, the latent capabilities and talents of your network. For this to work, relationships must be authentic and reciprocal. When maintaining relationships, nearly all the biggest dangers and traps come from mismanaging three things: your time, energy, and money. To

Suffering is at least partially a matter of perspective and our mindset in dealing with it. In full view of our suffering (on whatever scale), we still have choices. Suffering can be useful if it creates opportunities for connection. Be a pain detective to connect with others. Focus on the other person and their suffering first.
Connecting with people is about helping them get what they want and helping them reduce or remove what is causing them suffering. I’ll repeat what I said in the Introduction: by connecting with others, you reduce your own suffering, improve your own life, have richer relationships, and make the world a better place.
Evaluate your actions in relationships with one sentence: Does this grow the relationship? Growth is a feedback mechanism built into relationships that reveals their health—but growth can be positive or negative. Cultivate positive growth and cull negativity.

"Domino: Be a pain detective to connect with others. Focus first on the other person and their suffering. You and your possible solutions come second. Question for you: How has your discernment of people’s emotions helped you create connections in the past?"
"Domino: To be better at life and relationships, learn to ask, “How are they suffering, and how can I help?” Question for you: Think about anyone important in your life and ask, “How are they suffering, and how can I help?”"

- →One way to do this is to say, “Go home and get some sleep.” A more effective way is to ask, “Would getting rest right now allow you to do the work you need to do in a state of energy and not exhaustion?”
- →Domino: Even though humans need solitude and deep connection with themselves, we are ultimately social creatures. It feels reassuring to connect with others because we are designed to.
