Make Friendships your Top Priority

Make Friendships your Top Priority

  • Do not fear losing someone, for the idea of avoiding hellos to prevent the pain of goodbyes is anything but a solution.
  • "It's better to have loved and lost than to have not loved at all" ~ Alfred Tennyson.
  • Make conscious choices and efforts to make friends.
  • Strong friendships free us and do not cripple us with dependence.
  • Friendship is the most valuable asset out there, be sure to invest in it.

Cultivate Transparency

Cultivate Transparency

  • If we are more humble than a facade, if we build more windows than walls, we will have more friends.
  • Get acquainted with the hidden section in your mind that contains memories of mean selfish impulses that terrify us, that erupt occasionally.
  • Dare to take the initiative of self-revelation, sharing, and opening up.
  • This does not allow your emotional life to be an open book. You must decide how much of yourself to reveal.
  • Be sure to exercise caution, as to not damage the listener.

Dare to Talk about your Affection

Dare to Talk about your Affection

  • Remember, when one distills the essence of our existence, it has almost nothing to do with material wealth, it is all about love.
  • Take the initiative to declare your affection to the people you care about and see the bond growing even stronger.
  • With that be sure to be selectively elusive.
  • While trying to play it cool, don't be the unsentimental one.
  • Showing affection will only make you human.

Create Space in your Friendship

Create Space in your Friendship

  • Give others room to grow.
  • Don't be the top dog by intimidating others. Any short-term benefits received will be at the cost of long-term rewards.
  • Don't be the manipulative type (overbearing, codependent, victim), consciously or unconsciously.
  • Be cautious with criticism, and be tolerant.
  • Accept them for who they are, even if you do not approve of everything.
  • Allow for solitude, and respect their need for privacy.
  • Don't expect to be the only one that matters, rather encourage other friendships.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

“

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.
