It's a beautiful Sunday afternoon and it is a great feeling to be in the presence of the Lord with other beloved. Apart from going to the place of worship Sundays are always a good time to relax with friends and family. For people that work from Monday to Saturday it is only on Sunday that they have time to relax and it may not be complete without being in the company of their friends and for others they just want to be left alone and do their thing alone.
There are two different types of people when it comes to keeping friends all around the world. Some people who have a lot of friends may complain that they do not have private moments anymore because they are always in the company of their friends and they may sometimes try to avoid them or even cut ties with some so as to have their personal space. On the other end, there are some people who feel that they live a boring and lonely life and they seriously need people to talk to, hang out with, share their thoughts, ideas and emotions with - they try to make friends but it may not be working due to one reason or another. Indeed, one man's poison is another man's food.
The point that I'm trying to make is that there are so many people out there who understand and value the importance of healthy friendships but life does not present them with lasting ones. They see themselves as unlucky when it comes to making friends to the extent that they see healthy friendship as something that is more like a taboo for them.
But on a wider look, the principle of give and take may play a huge role in making and keeping healthy friendship just like any other aspect of human life. It may be very difficult for you to make friends if you're not a sociable and friendly person. It is impossible to give what you do not have and it takes two to tangle in friendship. It can be tough for friendship to thrive if both parties do not contribute to its success.
Let's take for instance a situation where you are in a one-sided friendship. It will get to a point when you will be tired if you are the one who is always visiting, texting, calling and creating time for you to two to meet. You leave the comfort of your house to visit her every time without a return visit. You always call to inform her about a job opportunity but she has never seen an opportunity that will be beneficial to you and call your attention to it. With time, when it is obvious that the friendship is one-sided, you'd go seperate ways and start complaining that you don't have friends when you are not making any effort to sustain it.
You must be willing to sacrifice your time and resources if you love great friendship. You must learn to leave positive footprints in people's lives because this is what will draw them close to you and create a lasting healthy friendship. Above all, you must ensure you respect your friend's opinions, give them listening ears and don't invade their privacy too much.
Friendship thrives when you give your friend the impression that they mean so much to you and you can go extra mile for them. There is a special feeling of satisfaction and fulfillment that comes with knowing that you can count on someone somewhere when you are in dire need of emotional, or financial needs.
Thank you for your time lovelies.
