Friendships offer so much benefit in our lives especially when there is a healthy balance of give and take. However, developing a balanced friendship takes work, thoughtfulness and honesty between two individuals. Recently, I had an experience with a friend where I was able to observe what a healthy friendship looks like. You can watch the full story in the video below.

What kind of friendships are in your life right now? What kind of friend are you to others? Asking questions like this is important to ensure your friendships are healthy and balanced. As I mentioned in the video above, the 8 Steps to Becoming You program offers an entire chapter dedicated to helping you figure out this balance. With a bit of thoughtfulness and honest communication your friendships will blossom.
