Friendships bring comfort, support, and joy, connecting us deeply with others, nature, and even ourselves. People Development founder and author Debbie Castle recently offered an online interactive talk and had an article published in the Daily Guardian Newspaper in Delhi, India on “Friendships of Joy”. Debbie’s insights reveal the profound beauty in friendships—those we share with peers, animals, and the world around us, as well as two lifelong relationships: with ourselves and the Divine.
True friendship starts with knowing and nurturing our inner self, enabling us to bring authenticity and strength to every bond. Cultivating a friendship with the Divine offers an eternal source of love and wisdom, enriching all other relationships. Optional friendships, while not lifelong, remain treasures of unique virtues and shared moments. With communication, creativity, and curiosity, we can add sweetness to every connection.
When considering building friendships, Debbie asks us:
• What is a virtue or quality in your relationship with yourself that you’re happy with?
• What is one quality or virtue in your relationship with the Divine that you let shine?
• What is one quality or virtue that you consistently bring in your friendships with others?
