FRIENDSHIP
How do you define friendship.... I'm asking this question because while at the beauty salon this weekend the topic of true friendship came up. Friends, how many of us have them, but the true question is how many of us have people that we can call true friends. This came to me as I overheard two ladies talking while in the hair salon. They were talking quite loud about a friend of theirs who was buying her first home. The two of them went on and on about the house she was trying to purchase, why she couldn't afford it, why she would fail, and how they couldn't wait. While attending Lakewood Church, pastor Joel Olsten would always talk about encouraging others (family and friends) to set their goals and accomplish them. I believe each of us has a plan or dream that we want to accomplish, but are often unable to complete them because we get caught up in the negativity from others that block our full potential. In life, sometimes success requires us to look at who's in our corner, because sometimes those that claim to care about us could just be the ones we don't need in our corner. I've been very fortunate to have a circle of friends that are loyal and trustworthy. We always encourage and support each other by giving truthful advice, providing emotional support, as well as financial if we can, and most of all keeping a positive attitude while cheering that person on. Whether it be buying a house, car, trying to launch a business like myself, or changing careers, we are there for each other. I'm not saying that friends never disagree because they do, but true friendships should be strong enough that you can talk about anything, and work things out. Our discussion on this topic was quite lenghty, and everyone didn't agree, but it was a interesting conversation. Tell me what you think.
