“The best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.”
Dalai Lama

Friends become more important as we grow older, and we may find that there is a gentle nudge to link up with friends whom ewe may have lost along the way, as the busyness of life took over. True friendship does not always depend on your frequency of meeting up. It shows its presence in the generosity of support whenever needed, defined by the depth of connection, the loving and deep listening and genuine interest available.
Deep friendships are characterised by the significance you place on them, the degree of sharing and the confidence in disclosing heartfelt joyous and challenging, impactful issues. Such exposure and vulnerability may only be facilitated in a few of your relationships where the level of personal disclosure is respected and honoured. At this level of a relationship time does not have any relevance – nothing matters, only the sacred space created within this pure energy, real and true.

Relationships are not always meant to last a lifetime once they start.

Sometimes we attract people into our lives for a reason and maybe for a defined period of time.

The thing is not to cling to a relationship that is not serving one’s best interest or both parties’ interests. Holding on to such relationships may embitter either one or both parties. Blessing the relationship for what it has given you would be a good thing to do, and then gently let it go. Hurting in a relationship only leads to embitterment.

It is always best to give from a loving heart otherwise your friendship is not love-based but some kind of trading or conditional love.
