Today is National Best Friend Day!
There is something so special about a best friend. Someone who you know will have your back. Someone who will tell you when you are fucking up. Someone who will listen to all your stories no matter how many times you tell them. Someone who will make you laugh. Someone who will hold you when you ugly cry. Someone you can tell everything to. Best friends are hard to come by.
Who is your best friend? Why are they your best friend? You should reach out to them and tell them thank you, especially today.
Now, I want you to look at yourself. Are you a great best friend? When you get together with your best friend, do you listen as much as or less than you talk? Do you respond to their text messages when they drop you a line? Do you know as much about your best friend as they do about you? Are you there for them as much as they are for you? Being a best friend is a privilege, make sure you are as great to them as they are to you!
My challenge for you today has two parts. First, go and thank your best friend. Drop them a text, give them a call, whatever, just tell them thank you. Be specific about what you appreciate about them. Next, find one way to become a better best friend. If you think you are a great best friend, ask your best friend how you are showing up for them and figure out a way to become better.
I would love to see some pictures of you and your best friend! Add them to my social media, send it to me in my messages or leave a comment below. And let me know how you are going to be a better best friend.
