What To Do When Things Don’t Go Your Way

HOW TO CREATE MORE MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIPS 1. Be a best friend to others first (Think about how you can give vs. receive) 2. Identify WHO you want to build authentic relationships with (Best connections happen when there are similar conscious levels and values) 3. Create opportunities to know each other (Take the first step - No need to wait!) 4. Get to know them vs. Fringe topics (Former builds true friendships; Latter builds superficial connections) 5. Focus on positives, not negatives (See the beauty in each individual) 6. Share your life with them (Let them know you) 7. Build trust first (Nothing can develop w/o trust) 8. Let them in during your down times (Open up and let yourself be vulnerable) 9. Be there for them when they need you (Support, Empathize, Understand, Don't impose) 10. Focus on those who reciprocate your efforts (These are the gems and the keepers) © Celestine Chua; Full article: http://personalexcellence.co/blog/best-friends/
