Is friendship a farce?

Is friendship a farce?  Last year I had a fallout with very close friends that got me wondering about the whole concept of friendship and what exactly it is all about. I try not to delve too much in the past, so have tried to move on, but the cruelness of it all still haunts me, and every now and again my brain wanders in that direction especially when I go for long runs – that’s when I try to make sense of life  and formulate my blogs in my head.

With that said, I have recently been making sure that I surround myself with positive people and have been meeting incredibly inspirational people. Which again has made me realise that often you need to let go of something to open up opportunities to other experiences and interactions.  That is the same in business, sometimes you need to let go of projects or even clients in order to move forward and grow.  It’s daunting, and nerve racking, but without change,  growth cannot take place. When you run your business, all you want to do is please everyone and do work for everyone – but at the end of the day it is important that you target and know who you want to do business with, resonate with the people you deal with, internally as well as externally, and that projects are aligned to your core values so that you can do your best work and keep growing.
