WordsOfWisdom: Friendship


Ive been working on myself; my health, my mind, and my thoughts.
All of the above needed change...well not so much a change..
I needed growth. Taking a lesson from Queen Oprah Im doing my own
Lifeclass of sorts. I decided since I tell you guys everything I might as
well share this also. If you choose not to read so beit there are plenty
other post that will interest you! :)
FRIENDSHIP
Knowing who to keep around and who to let go.

A saying that I keep very close and dear to my heart; That has helped me through so much pain & confusion is, "So as the seasons change remember, people change just as swiftly and without warning".

 
This saying reminds me that as we go down our chosen paths in life there are those who will be right beside us, and then those who appear to be beside us but are looking for the nearest exit to leave you. Those who believe that selfish ways will make for a better life for them: Those who are truly confused.

 
I was told recently by a friend, "right now is the time in your life
to be selfish", and when I heard this I couldn't disagree more.
Self preservation is fine by all means put yourself first. But, I think a lot of people confuse the two. Self preservation is always making sure ones self is secure AND THEN worrying about others if you so choose to (which as a human you should). Selfishness is being secure and having more then you could ever need and still wanting more without caring about the needs of others. Those are my own definitions but I think Im making my point. If not here is the sum of this post: A friend should never think of being selfish. I think a Selfish-Friend is an oxymoron. How can you call yourself a friend if the only person you care about being happy, and secure in life is yourself? How can you expect me to love and trust you as a person if I know you'll sell me out if it'll get you a step closer to where you want/think you want to be? Ill let you figure that out for yourself.

 
But I leave you guys with this.

 
There are people whom come into your life at the right time when you need them most. When you're at your lowest and they're the only ones whom can lift you up. Treat them well, because you will remember them forever and if you do them wrong you'll remember that forever also.
