Whether we’re talking about the family members (who we couldn’t really choose) or the friends in our lives, we don’t spend enough time developing those relationships. Sure some of those relationships are painful, but at the end of the day, would you regret more that you did or didn’t try to build that friendship?
So what are some qualities that can be found in good friendships?
peace
respect
compassion
honesty
trust
loyalty
communication
time
fun
love
partnership
Do you know what the cool thing about all these are? They can all be developed, regrown or introduced into a friendship at any time. Maybe you’ve screwed up in the past, maybe your separation is their fault. Whatever the truth is (and it ultimately doesn’t matter), I encourage you to take the time to build up or rebuild the friendships that matter to you.
