The world is more beautiful with best friends!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

What does friendship mean to you in this season of your life?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whom do you (still) call “best friend” and why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless of this person or the relationship between the two of you, a best friend is simply someone you\u2014or your heart\u2014have selected to be part of your life. In other terms, it is your chosen family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a friendship to blossom, there must be key basic ingredients, which could be mixed In infinitely unique ways: affection (or love), respect, honesty, faithfulness, transparency, empathy\/support, and trust. A genuine, healthy friendship requires mutuality. As needed, it might also require a will to forgive and\/or seek forgiveness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, forgiveness requires the ability to acknowledge when we make mistakes or hurt our friend. Like any other relationship, friendships require work; neither emotional laziness, nor toxic pride (arrogance). This means the following: direct communication, compromises as needed, and a mutual will to nurture the friendship in order to keep growing together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bearing the above thoughts in mind, and adding your own insights, are you being a good best friend to your so-called “best friend”? How can you celebrate this friendship; not only today (https:\/\/shorturl.at\/YQnQx<\/a>), but in persistent and truly mutual ways? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
