This is a topic that we are all experts on. Or are we?

Here's my take on friendships. They need four simple ingredients:

Time - it takes time to create memories, to build a history and to weather the highs and lows

Tiny Stuff - remembering dates, birthdays, family names, and little surprises by knowing things about your friends

Transparent - being open with one another creates great friendships. Find the right friends, to nurture your needs, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, physically and financially and you will grow

Trust - friendships need love and low ego to grow trust. When you have a true friend you will be ready to do anything for them.
