#016: Real Friends, How Many Of Us?

Mental Pod

Kanye West once wrote a song called "Real Friends" in which he asks if whether his friends will be there with him till the end. throughout his hectic schedule, he was unable to meet up with his friends as he is known to be a family man and a producer/artist and even though he doesn't have a problem with them, they seem to have a problem with Kanye himself. Kanye just wants them to see them striving for success and growth as much as he does for himself. Unfortunately, that is the concept of friends nowadays; they may unconsciously have something against you because you strive for success and peace while they strive to be 'cool' by being comfortable in their own zone, immature, and unmindful towards anything in general. Real friends will primarily represent the opposite, they'll rather be the mentors and supporters to your journey rather than apply roadblocks to your journey. In this episode, Fady underlines the true criteria when it comes to real friends and explains the "hallmarks of friends" made by Dr. Jordan B. Peterson with the emphasis on how can one deal with friends who do the opposite of what real friends do, which is hindering your energy and strive to success and self-development.
