True friends
What is a true friend????? They are someone who is there for you through everything…. The good and bad times, they don’t walk away when the times get rough. They come in and support you. They offer emotional support. Yes that sounds like a best friend….
One of my amazing mentors Ken Klemm said recently that it is rare to find someone who is able to accept you emotionally. That is very true, its rare to meet someone who you can cry with and be yourself. You can sit back and have a good joke with. Whist best friends and true friends are close together as to what they are like, there can be some difference in them.
The best friend may be someone who is unable to offer that emotional support at times, they may be someone who you have a number of cominalities with yet sometimes they are just to busy to even assist. They may enjoy the same sports, the same activities even, yet a true friend can be someone who you share all this with yet they offer the friendship and their love no matter what. They walk in when the whole world walks out.
A true friend is also someone who you are able to be yourself as a person with, it doesn’t matter what the person says you can be yourself. A true friend is there helping when they can when your moving and they will be there doing what they can. They have no motive, they care about so many people and are in it for the people, they aren’t in it for the money, they just love helping and giving.
Yes a true friend can be hurt badly owing to someone taking advantage of their love, someone taking advantage of their generosity as a person. They may have yet to learn the lessons they needed to learn in order to be that true friend to people. It can take years to learn the valuable lessons which they were needing to learn. They may need to learn that everyone doesn’t love the same way. One of the biggest lessons that needed to learn personally was there are those who will take advangage of you no matter what. There are those out there who will attempt to get you emotional as they know your weakness.
A true friend knows your weaknesses just as a best friend does, yet they don’t exploit them. They accept them without any question same as a best friend would. Yet sometimes your own best friend is someone who you may share something with, whist a true friend is someone who you can do many things with.
A true friend will put themselves out there knowing ok such may happen yet its worth it in the end. They will find those friends who will just accept who they are and love them for them, they will take their love and accept it. True friends can at time share their love with those who are around them. They will do what they can for those who they see as friends and even strangers and will assist that person to the best of their own ability.
When you need a true friend they are there ready to be found, they offer what you need. Sure sometimes a true friend may only be able to offer moral support yet they do their best and offer the hand of friendship no matter what. The question is how many true friends are in your life????
My good friend and personal mentor Michael Dlouhy has this question he asks “Is this person someone you want to be on a one month cruise with????” a big question… could you stand being in close contact with them for an entire 30 days????
Wishing you the best in health and love and big hugs
