This is HUGE!

There are so many articles written on healthy romantic relationships, but what about friendships? They are just as, if not more, important than romantic relationships.

Take a moment to reflect on what you value in a relationship and think about whether your friends are meeting your standards. Note: You should also meet your standards as a friend.

Four Values I Look for in Friendships:

  • Loyalty: When you think of loyalty, the mind automatically takes you to a romantic relationship, but your friends should also be loyal. Trust is the basis of all relationships; if you can’t trust your friend, there is no foundation, and it’s likely not a true friendship.
  • Growth: It’s beautiful to look back and see how much you and your friends have grown together. Friends should be your biggest supporters, pushing you to continue being your best self every step of the way. Friends should encourage you to take that trip, take that job, and hug away any suffering you may have.
  • Support: Yes, everyone is busy on their journey. Remember, we also need support from time to time, and if you can’t turn to your friends, who can you turn to? You should be able to pick up the phone without thinking twice about it and reach out for the support you need at that time.
  • Peace: Your friends should bring peace to your life, peace of mind, and overall calm. If you are surrounded by drama, first check yourself, then check your friends. Seek calm and genuine relationships.

I’m lucky to have pretty great friends and I would be proud to be a reflection of any of them!

What reflections do your friends have on you?

Shine bright.
