How many of us truly value the friendships we make in our lives? I have been blessed during the past few weeks to be reminded how many beautiful people i have in my life. I am a very blessed man. I choose not to mention names of these people in this post. They know who they are.
Every person we meet comes into our life for a purpose. Some are there to teach us lessons and to guide us when we need some guidance or support. Some come into our lives when we need the support and guidance of someone who is willing to take the time to share with us and support us. I had so many priceless moments when i would share my life with dear friends during my vacation and would walk away from those conversations, filled.
Friends can also come and go from our lives. These connections may last years or months. When we reconnect with these friends we can often pick up the conversations like it was just last week that we had a get-together and in reality it has been years. These are the friends we make a true heart connection with, the friends we love and are loved by them in return.
I have come to understand that appreciation is the key here, for without appreciation you have no friendship. Appreciate the good sides of each other, appreciate those traits that are worth enhancing. Empower one another, share you inner heart's energy, and love the uniqueness of each individual as they are also a part of the whole.
While it is possible for one happy person to spread happiness to their friends, the reverse is also true — a negative friend can bring you down as well. It's also important to be a good friend yourself, providing others with as many of the benefits of friendship - infectious happiness, social support, someone to confide in, food in times of crisis.
Be a good friend, and good friends will come to you.
