Friendship Without Self-Interest

Let’s face it. We all find ourselves entering relationships, whether it’s friendship or not, with self-interested agendas. By nature, we are selfish beings. We are always “in it” to see what we can get out of it; never considering what great things we could offer to the other person. When I say “things”, I don’t mean materialism. I mean things that are not tangible.
But, how do we overcome our selfish natures and enter our next friendship without self-interest?
Today, don’t think too much about what you can offer the other person. Instead, give the greatest gift you can give. And, that greatest gift is a friendship without self-interest.
