Do You Really know Who Your Friends Are?

Friends are important. The question is, ‘Do you really know who your friends are?’ Do you know what they are doing? Do you know how they treat other people? Do you know how they talk about things they do not understand? Do you know what they do when they are alone? Do you know what they are going after in life? Do you know what they like? Do you know what they do not like?

What about you? How do they talk about you? How do they treat you? Do they celebrate you when you win something? What about when you lose? Do they get angry when you tell them something great about yourself? Are they willing to work with you? Are they mean to you? Are they jealous of you?

Look, friends are important to you, to me, to others. But no one wants to be around people who are going to make you unhappy. No one wants to be with a bad friend, a jealous sucker. No one wants to be with a terrible person.

If you are not comfortable with your friends, you have a choice: move away from them.

If you do not, you are fooling yourself.

Stop Dwelling On Mistakes: Celebrate Growth Opportunities

Mistakes happen. We are human beings. We make mistakes. Because we are human beings.

If we don’t make them, we won’t learn. They are our teachers. If you really want to learn, then you must pay attention to your mistakes.

They are not here to kill you. They are here to make you better. But make sure you learn from them. Do not waste any opportunity to learn from your mistakes.

If we are really serious about learning about ourselves, about those around us, and about the world, learning from our mistakes is the way to do it.

When it happens, don’t cry over it. Celebrate it. Do not let it define who you are. Because you are not your failures.

Look, if you have been dwelling on your past failures, you must stop it. It is not the way to go. In the words of Bob Goff, ‘God doesn’t bookmark our failures. He celebrates our attempts.’

If you want to make a difference in your life, do not dwell on your past failures.
