Be your friend
We are often generous, kind, and caring with other people by spending time, empathizing, and even helping them find solutions to their problems, comforting them when things aren't working out as expected, or during harsh times such as breakups, getting laid-off from work, or simply failing at some basic life event.

Next time you meet people, judge not them, but yourself. Ask several questions. Are these the friends I want to have? Do I want to spend … Continue reading Who are you becoming?
