“Each friend
represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it
is only by this meeting that a new world is born.” – Anais
Nin
If you don’t know
before, you need them to make your world. Every soul you meet, bring to your
life knowledge, experience, events etc that makes up your world. Just the same
way, you make up someone’s world. If you want the best world, remember to be
the best in other’s world too. How do you treat your relationship? Leo F. Buscaglia believe “A loving
relationship is one in which the loved one is free to be himself, to laugh with
me, but never at me; to cry with me, but never because of me; to love life, to
love himself, to love being loved. Such a relationship is based upon freedom
and can never grow in a jealous heart.”
If you care to
have the best life, you can’t shy away from carefully selecting the people you
want in your life. To me, I believe “A real friend is one who walks in when the
rest of the world walks out” as thought by Walter Winchell. You might
have experienced just like me that, many of them came into your life because of
what they want from you. And immediately they get or unable to get it, they
move on. All the same, it will be part of the experience required to shape who
you are. As much as you expect the best from people in your world, the only way
to help them is to be aware that, “When you stop expecting
people to be perfect, you can like them for who they are.” - Donald Miller
According to Joyce Meyer “We
can improve our relationships with others by leaps and bounds if we become
encouragers instead of critics.” Be the one people are
expecting to walk in when they need someone to talk to rather than otherwise. “Nobody
cares how much you know until they know how much you care” - Theodore Roosevelt. The great American writer and lecturer,
Dale Carnegie declared “You can make more
friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in
two years by trying to get other people interested in you.”
