Friendships and Power [Be a Rockstar]
MAIN POINTS:
1. Friends are your chosen family. It is the people who should not only lift you up but also be there as support when you need it most.
2. A friend is one who overlooks your broken fence and admires the flowers in your garden is something I read once and it is such a powerful statement because a true friend will not care about your weaknesses; they will see the good in you.
3. A healthy friendship allows you to be yourself in every way without judgement or rejection for any mistakes you make. They will gently guide you or just be there to listen.
4. Experts weigh in that empowering friendships should be: empathetic, selfless, trustworthy, have shared and different interests and opinions, humorous and team players.
5. Some friendships expire and good for a season but it is ok and healthy to admit that we are incompatible with some friends after changes in our lives. Just ensure to have a peaceful exit.
TRY THIS: Take stock of all your friendships and their role in your life, do they empower you or take away some of your power?
POST IT NOTE: I will be an empowered friend
