The genesis of friendships.
“We got along well from the first day we met” is a very common statement. Another one is “I could not imagine that we could be great friends.” You must have heard these two statements or many other similar ones. Is there truth in any?
Yes, there is much truth in them. The truth again is that many people do not pay attention to how they start friendships. This reveals a worrying trend that has taken root – hardly do people make deliberate friendships. Most of them are products of circumstances.
If human friendships are products of circumstances, how much so about the invisible universe? That is definitely a hill to climb. A steep one for that matter.
Well, here is a manual on how to nurture friendships:
- Identify a suitable ‘friend’ among strangers.
In a multitude of people, there cannot miss one or two whose purposes align with yours. If you disagree, it’s probably because you have not looked closely enough. It is not enough to watch from a distance and conclude there are none, make an effort to find your destiny mate.
It is difficult at the beginning until you observe their actions. Observations require time, patience, and keenness. Friendship with the universe follows a similar path. You need to pay attention to her every move. She is the only trustworthy friend you can make if you synchronize your purpose with her. 
Friendship with the universe is a gem. But you first have to study her keenly before you take your friendship to the next level.
- Approach them and initiate a conversation.
Upon identifying a potential friend, the next step is to make a move. How will they know that they have charmed you if you do not express yourself? Be courageous and make that bold move.
Starting a conversation with a stranger feels awkward at the beginning. It almost feels like you are a nuisance. Keep your eyes on the bigger goal – the friendship.
Similarly, you need to do the same with the universe. Initiate a conversation with her. You can do this by taking care of nature. Showing, by your actions, your interest in taking care of her. Being nature’s caretaker is not dumb. She will reward you by accepting your friendship.
The universe is not a fellow human who speaks your language. You have to speak her language before she accepts you as a friend. This includes acts of kindness towards nature.
- Explore common interests.
This is the part of synching your purposes. Have you ever wondered why new friends are excited to talk about their interests? It is so because they want to know each other better. In their small talk, they end up revealing everything about themselves. It is quite normal.
Friendship with the universe takes the same path. She is loving like a mother who accommodates all her children. There is space for each one of them. You should explore all your interests fearlessly. Do not hold back any of your ambitions for anything.
Sports, leadership, education, and technology could be some of the areas your passion lies. The universe appreciates genuine interest in your ambitions. She is not for half-baked interests in ambitions.
Fact check – hesitancy is punished by low rewards and boldness is rewarded by fruitful efforts. Knowing how to build your friendship with the universe is the pinnacle of success.
- Do not withhold from a conversation.
Good friendships are built on proper communication. It is a give and take transaction with a common currency – communication. Any misunderstanding can be quickly resolved when friends talk. Silence only amplifies the problem.
The universe expects more from you as you do from her. You expect that she will crown your efforts with favorable results while she expects that you will be consistent and not withhold any efforts. When you play your part consistently, the universe is sure to play her role.
One-sided expectations weighing down on the universe will hurt your friendship. Like a jilted lover, she will walk away without looking back. Since you cannot compete with nature, be in her good books.
- Make compromises.
Every successful friendship makes compromises. Good friends meet each other halfway instead of holding hard stances. It will benefit none.
Friendship with the universe is not an exception. You may have to postpone – not give up – on some ambitions due to resources constraint among other reasons. You only pursue the possible and bench some targets for some time in the future.
There is no pride in forcing your way through. Make reasonable goals and targets and the universe shall reward you handsomely for that. However, nature does not tolerate giving up. Only rest is allowed. You will live to realize your goals on another day.
The universe’s reciprocation.
When you have a tight relationship with the universe, she shall grace all your efforts. Success will be your portion all through.
She reciprocates in the following ways:
- You will be highly favored.
The pursuit of your purpose shall be favored throughout if you maintain an excellent friendship with the universe. It will almost be like magic – everyone nodding in agreement to your proposal.
Mastering the art of friendship with the universe is not a small feat. You deserve all the favor skewed in your direction. 
- You will attract destiny connectors.
When you maintain a good relationship with the universe, she will see through your shortcomings and link you with destiny connectors.
Do not change direction as you pursue your purpose. The journey may be difficult but that is what friends are for, right? As a good friend, the universe will bring like-minded people your way. They will aid you to reach your goals.
- You will be repaid for every good deed.
Nature is the fairest arbiter. She will repay your good deeds, one with another. After all the good you have done for her in your friendship, she owes you a debt of rewarding your kindness.
Consider her as a mother who rewards her children for their good deeds. She will equally punish every unkindness. 
Strive to create an everlasting friendship with the universe. Let it transform into an intimate relationship and all your efforts shall be crowned with success.
