Test for a true friend

Friendship goes beyond greetings and exchange of pleasantries. We’ve got different definitions to friendship and there are various types. However, the basis of any friendship is agreement. Their attitudes and behaviours must agree, if not all, at least some. There must be a basis of congruency- a factor that makes you correspond in character or nature. If you are looking for a good friend, check yourself first if you are or can be a good friend. Sometimes, we desire some things in people that we don’t have ourselves. An acid test for a true friend is love. Any person that claims to be your friend and does not express love is not a true friend. One of the major expressions of love is giving. The person can give his time, energy, resources, money, even integrity on your behalf. The person can forgive, can be patient, selfless and not proud or bumptious. Now, this doesn’t mean, until you find all these qualities, the person is not a true friend, No! you will see traces of all these qualities, if not obvious, at least some of them. The important thing is love is expressed from a sincere heart. I encourage you to be a true friend, and you will surely find true friends around you. You are attracted to who you are. Be the person you want in people. #Excerpt#TheLanguageOfChange #Chapter4 #ChangeYourExpressions #Blessings
