Out of respect for believers, we will simply acknowledge the multiplicity of views on this subject (the keyword is “acknowledge” and not agree). So, always do further research.

TL:DR A quick post glance:

1. Invest in Others
   
2. Do Not Brag
3. Slay Entitlement

Sound fancy? Okay, ladies, let’s start!

1. Invest in Others

For starters, if you want to have powerful friendships, you must be friendly. Have you heard a man that has friends must show himself friendly? If so, you know about investing time and energy in others. Yes, this may be common sense, but rarely are these actionable steps used.

At that, prideful person isn’t friendly — because they are self-focused. They are all about themselves — it is disturbing to see. Look on YouTube, it’s flooded with those who are prideful. That said, pray for them and try not to be one of them. Have you heard pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall? If so, you know the prideful need your prayers.

You can crush pride and build powerful friendships by investing in others. Make an effort to show them you are interested in their well-being. It may surprise you how powerful your friendships become when you take the time to invest in others.

2. Don’t Brag | Let Others See You Shine

For powerful friendships to last, you must crush your desire to brag. You live in a world fill with apps where people brag on themselves. Bragging is an act of pride. Trust me, nobody wants to build a powerful friendship with a braggart.

That said, the curiosity and boredom of those with an abundance of leisure time — are reasons braggarts on apps gain attention. Despite this fact, the actions of a braggart do not lead to powerful friendships. Have you heard don’t brag on yourself, let others praise you? If so, then you could experience genuine praise from others.

As you crush your desire to brag, you will draw powerful friendships towards you. Don’t take my word for it, try this out for yourself.

3. Slay Entitlement

You must slay entitlement to have powerful friendships. I am a part of the Millennial generation and some people in other generations categorize Millennials as people who feel entitled to everything.

Super awesome side note: Not every Millennial feels this way — personally speaking. There is no imaginable way of knowing how everyone feels. And remember stereotypes are for dummies.

Entitlement is a terrible form of pride. It can wreck a friendship before it blooms into something greater. This pride is self-worship. And it will not win you genuine friendships. So slay your sense of entitlement now.
