Why a true friend? No matter who you think you are, where you are, what you are doing, you need a true friend. You need someone who is not afraid to tell you what you need to know, hear, and do. A true friend is who you need in your life, if you want to grow. Don’t ignore your true friends. Love them. Accept them. Celebrate them.

To really understand why you need a true friend in your life, here is what William Penn said about it: He said, “A true friend unbosoms freely, advises justly, assists readily, adventures boldly, takes all patiently, defends courageously, and continues a friend unchangeably.”

A true friend:

  • Will tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear
  • Will enjoy life with you without fear
  • Will be there for you when you need him or her
  • Is not in a hurry to get things done
  • Will always fight for you
  • Will continue to be your friend, no matter what.

You need a true friend. Stop celebrating those who are not celebrating you. Stop praising those who are not praising you. You must let go of your false friends. They are not helping you. If you really want to help yourself, you must create a space for your true friend to come in. If not, you will continue to praise those who are not praising you. Do not do that!

Why Nobody Can Go Through Life Without A Scar

Is it really possible to go through life without a single scar? Maybe, maybe not. Life is full of scars. Your job is to use your scar to get to the next level. Don’t use your scar to limit yourself. Use it to grow yourself. And to understand your scar, you must accept it. Because you cannot change or use what you don’t accept. Your scar is uniquely yours. So find a way to use it in a positive way.

Remember the old saying, “What doesn’t kill you will make you stronger.” Your scar will not kill you. Instead, your scar will make you better. But you must accept it.

“… Nobody goes through life without a scar.”-

Carol Burnett
