Can I ask you some questions, Who do you relate with? Who is your friend? What made you think that person was right to be your friend? Do you have anything in common?
Among these questions, the main question here is, what is your point of convergence?, what makes you attracted to people. That's what we're going to talk about today.
What is point of convergence?
Point of convergence is what makes you and people around you come together. In other words it means what makes you come together and unite in a common interest or focus with other people.
Who is a friend?
A friend is someone you like very much and like to spend time with.
-LONGMAN DICTIONARY
Point of convergence is that force that pulls you and others to a common spot of interaction. This involves common interests, values, beliefs and other things that promote bonding among a group of people.
Let us just round the definition up as a person you like is called your friend. First and fur-most, I want us to understand the fact that friendship is by choice and not by force.
Now, back to point of convergence I mentioned; point of convergence is what makes you and people around you come together. Is it their attitude, character, personality, background, dressing and so on. Let us say, you are a God-fearing, quiet type of person and lately you have noticed that a particular person has been trying to get close to you and that person has attributes of being rude, sassy, fierce, mischievous and so on. If you probably got close to the person, may I ask "What was your point of convergence?"
Just as I stated earlier, friendship is by choice and not by force. People keep missing this point and that is why they mix with people they are not meant to mix with. I am not saying that you cannot talk with them, there is nothing wrong with that;but an hi, hello and some greetings is enough. The person you relate with really matters. A popular adage says "Show me your friend and I will tell you who you are". Who is your friend and what image is that person portraying about you.
I will also advice us to have a value system. If you don't have any create one. Now, what does a value system help you to do? A value system helps you to know the kind of characteristics you want to find in a friend. It helps you to sieve out those you think qualify and those you think do not align with your value system.
With these words of mine, I hope that we will know our point of convergence with people and how to manage it well.
Nice write-ups, full of wisdom. Well done!
