I was checking through a few chats and I came across a long time friend, you can call him a brother and a partner.
We started together as roommates sharing the same apartment, we continued as business partners and we did a few businesses together.
He is a cool photographer and I'm a good public speaker...
I speak and he takes my picture...
In case you are yet to get the context of my message, let me tell you quickly...
I realized the only way a friendship is valuable and sustainable is when their is a mutual relationship.
It is a give and take system
You give value and get value in return. Friendship crumbles and dies down quickly when one party gives and the other doesn't .
It makes it boring , it makes it dry and keeps it from growing.
I write my friends content for him while he takes my pictures for me and things has been good.
Nobody is hurting anyone, nobody is fighting anyone, nobody is feeling he is being riped off.
The only way to keep that friend closer than ever is to give a helping hand also
Never make it a habit to ask and not give.
I'm happy I have a friend who is skilled with the camera and I have myself skilled with the spoken words.
We both produces magic together. We are still together because we are both givers.
Be a giver 🌹
