Life is not meant to be a constant battle with sickness, sadness, and depression. To truly live, we must seek out health and happiness as our primary focus. It’s not an easy path, but it is a worthwhile one. Allow me to show you that a life of joy and vitality is within your reach.

Who are your true friends. Awake and Living, Friendships, Love & Relationships

Everyone on this planet knows of the amazing Oprah Winfrey. One of the many lessons I have learned from her was to find out who your ladies in waiting are. What’re a ladies in waiting? It’s like your maid of honor at your wedding. Someone that you know will always be in your life no matter what and someone you know that will always be by your side.

Oprah said to write down four attributes that you believe is a must-have in a friend. For an example:

  • Loyal
  • Generous
  • Positive
  • Energetic
  • Honest
  • Good listener
  • Smart
  • Etc…

After you make your list write down all your girlfriends in a row. Make a chart with four sections with those attributes you picked.

Next, in each box of your choice, put a check mark next to the friends’ name that you know for a fact has the particular characteristic.

Try not to sit there and make exceptions “Well they can be like this sometimes.” Well, what are they like most of the time? There is no reason why you should make any exceptions. Be honest with yourself. This is for your eyes only.

Now, look at your list. How many friends do you have that has all four check marks next to their name? If you have one, that’s more than some people will have in their lifetime. Treasure them and make sure to let them know how much you appreciate their friendship.

If you don’t have one friend that has any of those attributes, you now know what characteristics to look for in a friend. xxx <3 A&L
