That's why having friends with similar goal is important.

A lot of people have "friends by default", the ones they gather on their way through life.

But it's important to try actively to make friends, friends in social circles we seek or with interest matching out goals.

It seems artificial, but a non natural encounter can turn into a good relationship if nutured, and it will help ones to grow.

Great strategy when you're younger and older, but doesn't really help during the years where you're raising young kids. Time is limited and it's easy to forget yourself when caring for others.

I choose the alternative solution not to have kids.

It's important to remember it's an option.
