‘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?

‘If you don’t know what your mind is telling you, you can’t change the narrative.’- Julia Pimsleur

You can change the narrative if you know what your mind is telling you. If you want to hear your mind, you must listen. Do not ignore what your mind is telling you. If you do, you won’t grow.

To grow, you must be comfortable with yourself.

‘Having a gratitude practice simply means looking for things to feel positive about and noting them in order to refocus our attention on what is working well in our lives.’- Julia Pimsleur

You have a lot of things to be grateful for. Instead of looking at other people, you can celebrate what you have. You can celebrate your own success.

When you celebrate yourself, you will feel good about yourself. You will have more energy to keep going.

‘When you think of your obstacles as speed bumps, they begin to feel more manageable.’– Julia Pimsleur

If you want to have more things in your life, you must celebrate what you have. You must be grateful for what is working for you.

When you are grateful, you will have more to be grateful for.

‘It’s up to us to tell our own story– and to tell the one that allows us to do our biggest, boldest work.’- Julia Pimsleur

What you are telling yourself is more powerful than what other people are telling you.

If you do not change what you are telling yourself, your life is not going to change. If you have been telling yourself negative things, now is the right time to switch to positve things. It is not going to happen overnight. If you want it to work, you have got to be patient with yourself.
