What we’re about
It's often said that to have a friend, you must first be a friend. This simple truth holds profound wisdom.
Here are 10 guiding principles to help you become a true friend:
Enjoy People: Approach conversations with the intention to genuinely enjoy the exchange. Loosen up, and let the connection flow.
Express Yourself: Authenticity is magnetic. Don't hide who you are. Share your thoughts openly and let others know the real you.
Listen Wholeheartedly: Recognize the sacredness of every person. Offer your full attention and understanding. Take the time to truly hear them out.
Practice Reciprocity: Share generously, whether it's your food, time, or ideas. Be open to receiving the gifts that others have to offer.
Find Common Ground: Uncover shared interests with those you meet. Commonalities are the foundation of lasting connections.
Take Initiative: Don't wait for connections to happen. Be the one to start conversations. Taking the lead is sometimes the key to meaningful friendships.
Embrace Mistakes: Understand that not everyone you encounter will be a positive force. It's okay to be hurt, but let those experiences be stories of resilience, not barriers to connection.
Radiate Positivity: A positive attitude is contagious. While it's okay to acknowledge challenges, strive to let positivity define your interactions.
Take Responsibility: Extend a helping hand to strangers and acquaintances. Taking responsibility for others fosters a sense of community.
Share the Good: Spread the joy by sharing positive discoveries, whether it's a great sale, a fun event, or a fantastic place. Your enthusiasm can uplift others.
