Have you ever had a friend or person hold a mirror up to you and assist with you looking into your own actions, taking accountability for your own self? Having that friend that you trust has your best interest in your well-being is vital to your growth as a person. Calling you out for your biases, your jaded perspective, your inability to match your words to your actions, forcing you to take accountability for your mistakes. Being this for someone you are about, or having someone like this, is essential to growth, not just a cheerleader that will always agree with you!
