True friends are not allies, they are lifelong companions. I think as you grow older, you look for very different things in people. Honesty. Loyalty. Integrity. Consistency.
But most of all, you look for those who will stand right by your side in the time of tough, rough or rumble. Those who are right there, and in that moment, you know they’ve got you & you got them.
Never RE-FRIEND A PERSON that has tried to destroy your character, your money or your relationships. A SNAKE only SHEDS ITS SKIN to become a BIGGER SNAKE.
– OLD CLOTHES: BECAUSE YOUR CLOTHES DON’T DEFINE YOUR TALENT.
– POOR FRIENDS: BECAUSE THERE IS NO STATUS IN FRIENDSHIP.
– OLD PARENTS: BECAUSE WHAT YOU ARE TODAY IS BECAUSE OF THEM.
– SIMPLE LIVING: BECAUSE SUCCESS CAN’T BE JUDGED BY APPEARANCE.
(This video got nothing to do with the post above. I shared it because I liked it. Mayan calendar definitely deserves a look back, watch it for some fun. Big fan of SNL either ways.)
If you feel like you’re torn between who the world is telling you to be and who your heart is telling you to be, go with your heart. Always go with your heart. The world may be telling you to go one way with your relationships, your career, your friendships, your home. The world may be telling you to act a certain way, be less emotional, be more emotional, be louder, be softer, to be something else. Don’t listen.
Quiet down the outside world however you can meditate, take a trip, shut off your phone, open your journal and listen to what your heart is telling you deep inside. Listen to how it feels about your career, your relationships. Listen to how it feels about your life. At the end of the day, you will never go wrong when you follow your heart because, that’s the AUTHENTIC version of you. (Not my words.)
The quality of a friendship should be measured on the strength of your bond and the abundance of love between you, not the number of times you catch up over coffee or go out drinking. We all have different needs, schedules and responsibilities. What’s important is you are there when it matters.
12 Habits you don’t realize are killing you slowly:
1. You skip breakfast/meals all the time. 2. You spend money you don’t have. 3. You are entertaining an unhappy relationship/friendship/marriage. 4. You text while you walk. 5. You skip your exercise/workout routine. 6. You snack when you’re not hungry. 7. You overwork yourself. 8. You bite your nails. 9. Your posture goes unchecked. 10. You have a severe lack of sleep. 11. You skip out on the vitamin D. 12. You load up on the caffeine.
If only people understood how important it is to be consistent. Everything that has value in life is a product of consistency. Success, health, fitness, wealth, friendships, relationships, and all other aspiration: are all about CONSISTENCY.
