Few things make me feel like a child again as much as traveling does, and I feel this way because the sense of wonder that often sleeps within us in adulthood comes back to us when we see and explore a destination for the first, second, or eighteenth time!

Now, I want you to think about that last trip you took and the reasons why you chose that destination... your got it?... And tell me, what was more important, the journey or the destination?... In an analogy in the vast universe of human existence, I once read that to this question a teacher responded: THE COMPANY.

Company is a fundamental aspect that often goes unnoticed. The teacher's phrase reminds us that, while achievements and goals are important, the quality of the relationships and connections we cultivate throughout our journey is what truly enriches our human experience. In life's journey, the right company can make the difference between loneliness and support, hopelessness and hope, confusion and clarity.

So, how do we identify and cultivate that valuable company in our life project? Here come the "green flags" or positive signs that indicate healthy and enriching relationships:
