FRIENDSHIP
Association is a vital part of us because it frames our lives;
friends can be influecial, devastating and uplifting. Friendship therefore is
both negative and positive. Friends could be school mates, confidantes,
comrades, fellows, pals, Chum buddies, cronies,and side kicks, but whatever you
call them, keep the right ones and let the rest go.
One of the greatest hindrances on your way is the fear of what
others think of you.
As long as you live, you ll meet people along the way, some ll
impress, dazzle, mesmerize you, and some ll be sweet nothing.
My candid advice, never get involved with sweet nothing s they ll
leave soonest for another. In every stage of your life, elementary, colleagues
at work to brethren in church, etc. You ll always find someone interesting
enough to keep contact with, BT you must be smart enough to select the real
friend and maintain good healthy relationships. Many others had written and
taught on friendship but I will summarize it in the following ways
. Friendship gives the advantage, not take it
. Friendship exchanges strengths not weaknesses
. Friendship is relationship not isolation
. Friendship is a choice!
Never allow impose themselves on you.
Friendship is not a religious obligation into eternity. You live
in my neighborhood, speak my language, attend same church but that does not
make you my friend.
It is a choice.
Many people are limited today as they have tried to make everyone
their friends, now they struggle with a bunch of people who take advantages of
them as they say "what are friends for,if not for inconvenience"
isn't that selfish?
Friends comes in different forms, shape, colour and height, some
add while others take from you. Particularly I have discovered some people that
I coined "scaffold". Some friendship are like scaffolds
What do you do with scaffolds when the building is completed?
You pull it down!
Pull down all wrong friendship, there is purpose to fulfill.
You ll never appreciate good people until you pull down wrong
friendships in your life.
Your life development is proportionate to the quality of
association you keep. The right people brings the right things your ways and
vise versa.
Your should be those who add value to you, improve your
worth, believe in you and celebrate compliment you, confront your weaknesses,
and one who can step on your toes without messing up your polished shoes
