Friends matter a lot.
And it’s really important to make sure you’re doing the things that are needed to perpetuate your friendship with those that really matter.
However, it’s also essential to ensure you’re allowing yourself to be “served” in those same friendships. That other people have space to prove that they value your company as much as you do theirs.
Reciprocity is key to a meaningful relationship.
Yet, if we’re not aligned, we may find ourselves in a position of constant service, without ever stopping to evaluate how healthy that is. It’s a dangerous idea because we can always say that we’re just “being a good friend”, when, in truth, we’re letting our shadow and our fear take over us.
Don’t let that happen to you.
