“A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.” - Walter Winchell
Each of us have so much that we can give to others but tend to forget we have the ability to do so. It is an ability to brighten and make a difference in someones life. It is a small thing such as simply being a friend when others have left the room.
Being a friend can mean listening and offering encouragement.
Being a friend can mean lifting up that person when they are discouraged.
Being a friend can also mean being real in your answers to them. Which means being able to say "stop the self pity, get up and get moving."
Pure friendship is solid and supportive. You know that you could lose the person you are helping, but knowing that if it makes a positive change in their life, you're okay with that. This type of friendship works because it comes from your heart.
Why? Because it is about them and not about you.
Try to be a friend to someone and help them make a change in their life. Remember though, you don't change people, they change themselves. But being a friend will give them the ability to make the change in their own lives.
Stay inspired my friends.
