‘A true friend is forever a friend.’- George MacDonald

If you can’t find a true friend, then be a true friend to someone else.

We need other great, positive people in our lives. We need people who are going to be there for us when the going is no longer in view.

We need other people to lift us up when we are down, when we are not ourselves.

We need other people to be with us, but do not wait. Do not wait for others to be your friend. If you cannot be your own best friend, you are in trouble.

If you want to live a meaningful life, start by being comfortable with yourself. If you are comfortable with yourself, you can bring other comfortable people into your life. To put it another way, you won’t have any problem attracting other great people into your life.

No one can make you feel really comfortable with your inner self, with your real self.

Be your own best friend. You can make it happen. How? You start by loving yourself. By treating other people with respect.

People want respect. People want to be around other people who treat them with respect, with love, with dignity, with compassion.

And they want to stay away from people who do not respect them, who are self-centered, who are after other people for themselves, who are not happy, who don’t know what they want, and who are not going anywhere in life.

If you are having trouble finding your best friend, do not worry. It takes time to know people. It takes time to know who we are. And it takes time to know the world around us.

Do not worry about it. There is nothing wrong with you. When the time comes, you will meet your best friend. But before you meet your best, you can be your own best friend. How about that?

Remember, you are your own best friend. Why not celebrate yourself?

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!
