Yeah, guess I will never be able to stop talking about my friends. Will I? Maybe I will, but I hope not, because I make new friends each day and I love my friends like...
U know, after my last post I got thinking... the subject of friends for me is quite inexhaustible. Who can tell me? What is life like without friends? When I was in that place of 'couldnt make friends' it was crazy, life was sour, bitter; both bitter and sour. There was no one to talk to whenever I needed to, no shoulder to cry on, no one to ask advice from. It was not a sweet experience in any way. Its a life I will never relive in a million years, I simply blanked out of my memory.
But life is fun! Life is good! and life is short. I learnt during the past weekend to live in the now. The past is gone, the future isnt here yet, so make the most of the NOW!
That's what I'm doing folks! Enjoy now... I only have now to enjoy now. If I miss doing it now, it becomes the past and I cant get it back. Give the best to life NOW, give your best to your friends NOW, give your best to your job NOW (even if you dont really enjoy the job, give it your best NOW and you will see doors open to you for what you will really love), give your best to your business NOW (clients and potential clients will contact your love for what you do and you will notice a difference, you bet), give your best in all NOW. Its the least you could do; for yourself, for posterity, for life.
So I've made a decision: make friends, give my best to friends, love them cos I'm a giver, I love to give (I must confess, sometimes I give so much that I get exhausted and start to complain to myself, but I've realised it still doesnt stop me from giving. I just love to give), I'm not necessarily talking about material or financial giving, I mean giving of yourself; loving, being there for those you love, protecting, praying for them, caring for them, just loving like you would love to be loved but not because you want to be loved back, just doing it because you want to do it. Be lovable. It gives me a reason for living, when I remember I have people I love, who expect me to be there for them: my family, my friends, it fills me with anticipation. I'll give you a picture of what I'm talking about:
Just like 7 months ago I got a job in a big company (that's where I am right now!), so many workers! I've never worked in a place this big! I came in and, trust me, I started making friends. My circle of friends so increased that when I remember it's Monday and I'm going to see my friends, I get excited. I'll tell you what excites me. Here, I'm different things to my colleagues - friend to some, counsellor to some, mother to some, sister to some... and by the special grace of God I enjoy playing those roles in their lives. Each day brings me something new to do in my different roles and He enables me to give my best in whatever I am expected to do per time (for real, except for when I'm complaining about "giving so much and getting so little, for how long will this last?!" but well, I dont really do that too often because I just as soon forget I was complaining and start giving again at the slightest opportunity). I'll keep doing it cos I love doing it, even if I do not get back much today. It's not like I dont ever get anything back, I do get back, have to give that to my friends, cos I have friends that love me like... I have a friend that wouldnt let me date her brother because she knew him well and believes he's not the best for me, her words? "Babe you deserve the best and I want the best for you but my brother is not that best", can you beat that?! I actually have friends that have appointed themselves my Guardian Angels. One Guardian-Angel-friend of mine gave me a piece of advice that will surely be handed down my generations till God-knows-when; he said "dont believe everything a guy says: let his action prove his words" (very unusual coming from a guy to a babe, but that's the kind of friends I have). I will make sure my daughter learns this truth and my sons? I will tell them not to just speak empty words to a babe but to back it up with action (how about that?).
I know one day I will get back the way I expect, but that's not what I live for.
Wanna know what I live for?
I live for being the best for my friends and the ones I love.
What do you live for?

You really make it appear really easy with your presentation however I find this matter to
be actually something which I believe I might never understand.
It kind of feels too complex and very extensive for me.
I'm looking ahead in your next put up, I'll try to get the
hold of it!
