A friend is someone whose goal is to help you be better, achieve your dreams and who will “push” you up.

Your relationships both personally and professionally are one of two things: Transactional or Transformational. Transactional relationships are characterized by a mutually beneficial “what’s in it for me” attitude. Transformational relationships are characterized by people who are willing to give their all for the benefit of another.

Relationships that are 50/50 are transactional. Relationships that are 100/0 are transformational. The more intentional you are about giving your all, the richer your relationships will become, because in the end, what you give is what you will eventually receive.
