Who Inspires and Supports You in Tough Times?

In times like these, we find out who our real friends are. 
Not our coworkers at the office or the moms we see on the school run—but true, stick-with-you friends who make up an inner circle of supporters who care about you.

Friends are awesome. And it’s the awesome ones that we need more of in our lives.

If your friendships could use an upgrade, why not apply the 1% Strategy we’ve been talking about recently to nurture and grow your closest friendships—and work on also becoming a better friend yourself. 

You can also use the same 1% Strategy to carefully consider which pals show up as no friend ever should: toxic, needy, envious or just too busy to know what’s going on in your world. 

Could you take a small 1% step and . . .

• FaceTime friends for a change, instead of texting?

• Have a talk with that toxic friend to ask why?

• Plan a get-together of close friends once a month?

But first… here’s a question: 
What’s the best thing a friend ever did for you? 
Did they support you, cheer for you, cry with you, or something else? 
Comment below and share what great friends do during good times and bad.

And don’t forget the mentors in your life who’ve helped you get ahead or make a difficult life decision. 
They’re friends, too, and deserve your recognition.

Of course, here’s one thing I know friends don’t do well: be impartial. 
They love you too much.

The reality is we don’t always have someone in our life who holds us accountable for making progress on our biggest life goals—someone who can be our cheerleader, inspire us to keep going, and applaud us when we reach a milestone.
Loved ones, spouses and friends are rarely impartial. 
In fact, they’re far too close to our situation to be neutral. 
An “outsider” is really the only person who can be committed to your success over time.
