The Power of Friendship: A Key to Success and Personal Growth

FRIENDSHIP is a very vital ingredient and/or tool for SUCCESS!!!

Any person who wants to succeed in life MUST have good friends and also be a good friend.

However, a lot of people do not understand what GOOD FRIENDSHIP is and merely go about life with this SENSE OF ENTITLEMENT and CONFUSION.

Good friendship is based on reciprocity.

Otherwise, it is PARASITIS M.

This said…

There are some other things I need you to know and understand about friendship!

1. Every friendship will not be alike, and the elements holding 2 people together will not be the same for everyone. We are all unique!!! Focus on your friendship and build it.

2. Being friends with someone doesn’t mean you two will be close and tight 365 days a year. There are times when it will seem like you have drifted apart but this will never affect the love, values, and bonds you both share. It doesn’t mean you don’t love your friends anymore. It simply shows in practical terms that phases in people’s lives can be different even when they are friends and sometimes, you may be chasing different things which can affect your time spent together.

3. Life can take certain turns that we never envisage. Things can change and this can affect the relationship you have with certain people. Understand that this is and can be part of life. Learn to be fluid.

Sometimes, a relationship can end naturally without problems.

Sometimes, some endings don’t even demand or give room for goodbyes.

Life can get too somehow.

That is why I never joke with moments.

Your best friend can move on to have other best friends because of the way life is going and you may never sit together again till 25 years. Life is interesting.

4. Sometimes, you may not be there for the people you love, your real friends. Not because you don’t want to be there for them… but because you just can’t!

As an adult, understand this.

People are dealing with a lot and sometimes, even when they love you so much, they can’t just help you when you need them. This should not break the friendship.

Broaden your mind.

You may disappoint your friends without wishing to.

That’s life.

But when this happens, talk about it instead of hating, subbing, fighting, and canceling them.

5. Your friend is not your sibling, child, spouse, or parent…

You will misunderstand them sometimes, that’s normal!

Learn conflict resolution and grow through conflicts to become stronger.

6. They say… make new friends but do not leave the old.

I say… make new friends and leave the old if they are a problem to you, bent on causing you drama and stress, detrimental to your well-being, growth, and purpose.

Please, do not get stuck with people who will

Destroy you because of history.

Your primary, secondary, and university mates and friends don’t necessarily need to remain your friends except you all have grown to realize you share the same values and are friends indeed!

Otherwise, let them just be what they are… school mates!

Please don’t be stuck with history and labels.

Friends are important…

Make GOOD ONES!

Be a GOOD ONE!

Try your best to sustain good friendships.
