Agreed. I have found that just living my own life, being happy, smiling, and laughing is much better at attracting people. Sometimes they become curious - “why the fuck is that guy always smiling and floating around like he farts fairy dust.”

Then, they are in a position to listen and learn and if they want to know what makes me happy, how I view freedom and attempt to achieve it, they may decide to make changes in their own lives. Or they may say that Im a crazy kook who lives like a turtle.

I have found that trying to force my views on others is a complete waste of time. Instead I live it, exude it, and if one is interested, I teach it.
