You’ve got the book. Ren already walked you through this in Chapter 6. This page is your printable circles. Fill it in on screen, or print it for a private, quiet look at your friendships right now.
Three rings, one inside the other, like a target. Write names where they fit. This is private. No one has to see it but you.
The people who pass the four quiet questions. The lift-you-up friends. Even one name here is a treasure.
People you like and trust, but aren’t quite as close to yet.
People you’re still getting to know. Not bad, just not sure yet.
If your middle ring is empty right now, that’s okay. It just means your real ones haven’t shown up yet. Put your energy into being a middle-ring friend to someone else, and watch what happens.
Ren’s reminder: You get to choose where your time and your heart go. This map just helps you see it clearly.
