How to achieve more with friends

A person is perceived as a friend when some of the following attributes of friendship are established: long relationship, trust, openness, mutual support, respect, presence in each other’s lives, and joy. We usually cannot play all the roles of our life with the same person. If we try, we get depleted and bored. For a life to be balanced, we play different roles with different friends.

A friendship should be at ease for both friends. Like two playing children, friends enjoy being together. Sometimes without understanding why, we force ourselves to go on with a relationship. Is friendship an obligation? No. Everything changes. And things that hold us back will be consciously or unconsciously avoided.  A relationship that does not evolve with your respective needs loses its relevancy.

On the other hand, since friendships go more with the heart, feelings, and aspirations of both people, it is worth making them purposeful and not accidental. Friendship, when friends become creators, is the best scenario to go. Only imagine all the potential of becoming creators with your friends. And how about staying a friend with your significant other, your children, or your grandparents?

As we urge for a constant growth, work for so many hours, and because friends are part of our social connections, it will be amazing to make friends contribute to our personal happiness and our achievements. This is why nowadays partners and colleagues, involved in the same project, tend to become friends.  They get united by a shared mission, a desire to continue growing together, acquiring each other’s skills, exchanging with opinions and connections, building something incredible together, pushing each other for the best. These keywords will help you to keep building your personality with friendship:

F – fresh
R – radiant
I – ideal
E  – energetic
N – near-by
D – deep

These are some points that can help you to improve your relationship with your friends:

• Elaborate a vision for your friends and picture those people (purpose to engage in a relationship, ethical or moral qualities, soft skills, habits, shared places, and activities, etc.).
• Prepare some ideal practices to manage friendships and to make them solid (ways to ease a friendship, time to spend together, business or life advice, shared experiences).
• Look for ways to become friends with your colleagues.
• Determine a list of people you would like to make your future friends.

 

Because friends influence us, keep exploring and redesigning your friendships.
