One of the challenges I noticed that comes with friendship is the inability to know limit of individual to still hold on to the friendship. There are some things please look out for and there are boundaries to everything we do in life. If you are able to decode things we need or look out for in a relationship of friendship, then we'll be able to know those that will align with those targets. It is very important to know to what extent one can maintain a relationship or friendship. Are there things to do that when those things happen you can no longer hold back or stay in a certain friendship? Meanwhile, I believe that in friendship, the people involved share the same goal or how the same ideology. Although I might be wrong but that's my thoughts.
When you have friendship, the goal, the dreams, the idea and opinions are never aligning, then I don't know how you will define what you have as friendship or relationship. Because first you should pick interest in someone who share similar opinions, idea's and goals, to be your close friends or people you call partners. That doesn't mean you can't have other persons with different ambition, different passion, goal and idea around. But when you talk about close friends or people who you are in relationship with each month have similar goal to be able to succeed or make a good friendship or relationship.
Let me explain this properly, whenever people mention or hear about sharing the same Goal, Visions, Ambition and Ideas, they often think that has one other partner is thinking about becoming a doctor the other one must also think to be a doctor, or when someone is planning on traveling out of the country that the other partner or friend, should also be planning towards traveling out of the country. No!! Not typically what sharing the same idea, opinion means. When selecting friendship you look out for those who understand you and you understand them first. The new also look out for those that share the same ideas and opinion, when you talk to somebody the person understand the part you are going to, the determine and your vision and support it. Not people that will counter you or distract you from achieving that opinion or idea of yours by telling you something contradicting to it.
I'm not a big fan of those who said that different beliefs cannot make friendship. When you talk about believe, it is basically those things you don't know but you believe there is this or they are to be down where you believe it. Then what happens to understanding others? I believe in God Almighty as a Christian, can you believe in Allah as a Muslim. Do we understand ourselves? Can we reason things together and come to a solid agreement without our belief contradicting it. When our belief is playing a game on our decision can we be able to balance it? If you check all this and it is not working out then there is no need going on with the friendship or relationship, because it won't be a successful one.
However, one thing I will always let people know is that you don't make friendship or relationship based on what other people say or do, you define what works for you and follow it.
