Getting Committed- How to use friendship as a tool for growth
Before I met George, I never thought of friendship as something I needed to commit to. Truthfully, friendship felt secondary to the my career. In my twenties, my dreams and aspirations were number one and personal relationship always took the backseat. I didn’t have time to fill friends in on my life because I was too busy going after what I wanted. It doesn’t really sound like a great friend and truthfully I wasn’t. Looking back I can see that I was hiding. Hiding my dreams and ambition because I was afraid of being judged, misunderstood or that I would lose friendships because I was changing and growing and didn’t know how to communicate that properly.
Years later I have friendships that are open pathways to not only sharing my dreams but to have them amplified by the friends around me. My dreams have become real because of the people around me and not in spite of them. Getting committed in friendship can mean many things. It is deciding what you are committing to, is it accountability? Is it feeling your feelings? Is it chasing your dreams?
Co-commitment is the second key to conscious friendship. George and I are leading a Conscious Friendship workshop Saturday, Jan 28th via zoom ( will be recorded and sent out if you cant make it) that taps deeply into The 5 Keys of Conscious Friendship in order to make your vision more potent, energizing and life giving!
Deep friendships with clear commitments allow us to stay accountable to what we want in life. Our friendships can stay low frequency, gossipy and misery-loves-company OR they can be spaces of true transformation—A beloved cheerleader at your fingertips, a trusted coach when you need a boost, your biggest fan! It is possible and I can absolutely attest to this.
