Choosing Friends WiselyMaking friends is one thing, but choosing who your friends are is very important, because your friends are your guides in life as well as the people who help define who you are. Some friends may be closer to you than others, however who you choose to share important parts of your life is very significant.
Choose a Friend Who Stands By You in the Tough Times It's so easy for us to be good friends in the fun times. There's all kinds of laughter and joyful moments, and those times make relationships easy. But who are the people who stand by you when times turn tough? Those are your true friends. Those are the people that get that life doesn't always go the way we plan. It's much harder to stand by someone that's having a tough time, so choosing a friend that is strong enough to be the shoulder to cry on or hold your hand when it's needed is a wise choice. Choose a Friend Who Gives as Much as They Take We've all had friends that only want things from us, but they never seem willing to give to us when we need it. Relationships involve compromise. Sometimes you're going to do what your friend wants to do, even though it's not quite your thing, and sometime she or she is going to do what you want to do, even though it's not quite their thing. Choose a friend with whom you feel a balance of give and take. Choose a Friend Who Has Common Interest While friendship is full of compromise, it helps if you choose friends who share in a lot of your interests. It gives you things to talk about or share. It makes deciding on stuff to do easier. You don't have to choose a friend who likes every single little thing you do, but you should have some shared interests. |

"There comes a time in life when you have to let go of all the pointless drama and the people who create it and surround yourself with people who make you laugh so hard that you forget the bad times and focus solely on the good. After all, life is too short to be anything but happy"
