So if you want to learn more about it, hit that subscribe button. Today, I'm going to be talking about how to surround yourself with the right people and also what your friendships should look like. There are friendships where you just can you know be

stagnant and it's the same as it was 10 years ago and neither one of you challenge

each other or there could be friendships where both of you, by being in this relationship

with each other, make each other better.

Same way that you're in a romantic relationship and hopefully you and your partner make each other better.

Well when you're in a real relationship,

friendship with somebody, you should also make each other better.

But let's zoom out real quick.

What is friendship in the first place.

Yeah, sure, it's people who have the same hobbies as you,

people who make you laugh, people that are fun to be around,

people who show up for you no matter what, people who are very loyal to you,

those are definitely some good qualities.

It's all of these things, but there's one aspect that I think gets overlooked when it comes to friendships and I believe and maybe

somebody else thought there believe something different I think that your

friends should challenge you to grow I think your friends should make you better and I think

you should do the exact same thing for them. Your friends should challenge your mediocrity.
