You don’t like where you are now. You don’t like what you are doing right now, right where you are. Don’t be scared to leave. Change is scary. It is going to cost you your comfort zone. And if you want to grow in your life, you must change yourself.

If what you are doing right now is not getting closer to where you want to go, change it. Don’t waste your time on it. You must trust yourself. In the words of Natalie Goldberg, “Trust in what you love, continue to do it, and it will take you where you need to go.” Follow what you love to do. Don’t be scared to face it. Don’t talk yourself out of your own dream. Don’t permit people to talk you out of your dream. It is your dream, not theirs. To make it come true, to get to where you want to go, you must hold your dream, work on it, live it, nurture it, and maintain it. Do you trust 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!
