What Your Friends Say About You

 

What Your Friends Say About You
by Jane Powell

“Our friendships mirror ourselves.”

 

You can’t choose your family, but you can choose your friends. So, how helpful are your friends to self-growth?
Are they supportive, encouraging you to strive and achieve? Do they provide a sanctuary of love and warmth when the world becomes cold and bitter? Do you love them with all your heart and is that love reciprocated?

 

Or, are your “friends” not really friends at all? Is there a tinge of jealousy when you succeed? In hard times are they unavailable, only to reappear once the crisis is past? Do they spend their time with you talking in negative ways about others?

 

If your friendship experience is the former, then you are indeed blessed. If it is the latter, now is the time to take stock of the negativity that you are allowing into your life.

 

Release your relationships with negative, draining people. Choose friends wisely and you’re life with be filled with love.

 

If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not, you don’t;
If you want to win but think you can’t,
It’s almost a cinch you won’t.

 

If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost;
For out of the world we find
Success begins with a fellow’s will;
It’s all in a state of mind.

 

Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger and faster man,
But sooner or later the man who wins
It the man who thinks he can.

Give a little more
In every situation there is the opportunity to give a little bit more. By doing so, you can vastly improve the value created in that situation.

 

If you’ve already invested time and effort in something, consider giving just a little bit more. Add to the momentum that’s already there.

 

If you’re already making the effort, giving a little bit more gives even more value to the effort you’ve already made. It creates greater value from the combined effort.

 

There are plenty of opportunities to give a little bit more. By doing so, you can easily distinguish yourself and set yourself apart from the crowd.

 

Make the most of the momentum you’ve already established by extending the momentum as long as you can. Once you’re on a roll, give a little more, and keep your efforts rolling strong.
