Exchanging Fans for Friends

June 22, 2021

We each need true friends and people who care about us enough to encourage us when we’re right and correct us when we’re wrong.

We are back this week with the video series on 8 Essential Exchanges.

This week’s exchange is admittedly one of the most difficult for me.

 

True friends don’t just tell us the things we want to hear, but they share what we need to hear. I wrote about this in a post about this here: 2 Types of People to Avoid.

Peggy Noonan said it this way: “Candor is a compliment; it implies equality. It’s how true friends talk.”

Do you have these kinds of friendships?

We each need people who care about us enough to encourage us when we’re right and correct us when we’re wrong.

If not, I challenge you to make an effort to find other friends who are eager to help you become the person you were meant to be.

I hope you’ll have the courage to make the exchange from fans to friends.
