ARE YOU SURE YOUR CLOSEST FRIENDS ARE GOOD FOR YOU?
Unfortunately, this propensity that ties us to delicious meals could also easily hinder one's growth or cause problems to one's health.
One major area of concern is our friendships, especially the quality of our innermost circle. If you are not intentional, you will end up with political friends.
Such friends are not truly genuine when it comes to telling you what they truly think or call you to order, but only what they think you want to hear or nothing at all——and since our default setting is to avoid conflict, we tend to prioritize such poor-quality relationships.
We should often evaluate our closest friendships to be sure that they can provide us the benefit that comes from conflicts and effective conflict resolution. And here are a few ways you can start:
Learn to embrace conflict in your relationships with your closest friends or family. Change your default mindset about conflict.
Some people are comfortable being with people they are more advantaged than ——how then will you grow? These people are likely going to say yes to everything you say. So refuse to surround yourself only with people you are more advantaged than or who depend on your support.
Stay away from people who talk ill about people or their so called friends, or shy away from conflict. They complain about other folks behind their backs but are never bold enough to raise issues.
Look out for genuine people/friends who can stretch your capacity to deal with conflicts, spice up our lives, add value to your life and purpose.
The list goes on and on and on. So you can comment your thought in the comment section.
Have an amazing week. 😘
