WHO ARE YOUR FRIENDS?
9 OUT OF A SERIES OF 10 LIFE HACKS FOR THE NEW YEAR
Who do you hang out with most often? Who do you call at odd hours and know you will be heard? Who looks out for you? Stops to consider your feelings? Comes over to celebrate your victories, wipes away your sorrows or just sits in silence?
Who are those special ones you call, friends?
They say, you become like the 5 people you spend the most time with. Choose carefully then, those 5.
For which, someone once asked me these questions.
- Who do you spend most of your time with?
- Do you feel a positive energy around them, or do they mostly suck into your energy and leave you drained?
- Do you have common values which drive you and the relationship to be better individuals and friends?
- Do you accept each other just the way you are whilst adding to each other’s growth or do judgements and jealousy rule the roost?
- Are there traits and qualities about that friendship that inspire both of you? Or is it just a one-way street?
These are powerful questions and helped me really reflect on the kind of friend I am and the friendships I have.
Don’t sleepwalk through your inner circle — be intentional about how you spend your time, and who you spend it with. Be selective.
“You are, or will become, just like the people you associate with the most.”
