Be That Friend

Every day, we seek to find friends and partners who would really like us as friends and would help in any way they can to make us better. Everyone seeks this whether you realize it or not. However, as some of us would realize, it is sometimes very difficult to find. But one thing I have realized is that never ask someone else to be that type of friend, you be that type of friend.

When you seek and you not find, be that thing. As much as we keep complaining that good friends are rare, have you ever considered asking yourself if you are a good friend? Good friends help us grow, and no matter how much we want to win the battle alone, it is sometimes necessary to have people by our side who can help us from time to time.

They say if you want to go fast, go alone but if you want to go further, seek friends and partners. It is important to realize even if the environment does not have the type of friends we seek, we should ourselves be that kind of friend because in the end, we ourselves are the system and the environment. And when the environment is bad, it simply says something about us. So I ask you today, what type of a friend are you?

Are you the type that helps your friends grow? Do you seek to make others better than you met them? What exact type of a friend are you? Until you are able to define what type of a friend you are, it might be difficult to say that you do not find the type of friends that you seek. Because when you define the type of friend you are, that would define the type of people you work with, and if the type of people you work with does not match the type of friend that you say that you are, then there is a problem.

We can continue to blame and say that others have not been good to us, but have we been good to them? What have you done that warrants the other person to consider you their best friend. Everyone wants a person who can help them become better, not a person who would take away the little that is left. Whatever type of friend you are, realize today that you can be much better, and better than what the society thinks you can be.

You can be that friend everyone wants to be like, and if people around you do not see you as that person, then that is their fault and their problem. Realize that not everyone has to like your personality because in wanting everyone to like us, there in lies another problem. Seek to be a good person and keep getting better everyday. Everyone of us can be better.

And when you cannot find friends who can help, be that friend to your other friends and ensure that you do the best that you can to help others become better. Do not ask what your friends can do for you, ask what you can do for your friends. We all need to start now. Thanks and God Bless.
