\"friends<\/a>“People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The most important person to be friends with is yourself.\u00a0 Kindness is a language that everyone understands.\u00a0 We all want to be treated with love, kindness, sincerity and respect whether it is a personal or business relationship.\u00a0 When these qualities are absent, harmony and balance are lost and trouble is close at hand.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is wonderful and fun when relationships are going well and developing nicely.\u00a0 When challenges arise is the real test of a person’s character and principles.\u00a0 These moments reveal the nature of our patterns of behavior.\u00a0 When important issues come up, we usually revert to our oldest and most basic patterns.\u00a0 These moments require honesty and openness.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

When survival issues are at stake such as money, sex, religion and power, people do the strangest things to maintain their control or dominance.\u00a0 We humans can be very harsh to win or get what we want.\u00a0 It is sad, because what truly matters is love, friendship and kindness.\u00a0 All of the money, sex, power and material possessions we accumulate cannot be taken with us.\u00a0 They do not keep you warm at night or truly comfort your heart and soul.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some people come into our life for a reason to accomplish something or for a short lesson.\u00a0 A singular moment or experience can be so profound it affects our whole life and we remember it forever.\u00a0 Lessons and trials take many forms.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Some people come into our life for a season and the time can be special, powerful and wonderful.\u00a0 It is not always easy to let these people go when the time is complete.\u00a0 It is important to allow people to come and go appropriately into our life without attempting to hold on or control the relationship or experience.\u00a0 If it is meant to be long term or last forever, the relationship will let us know.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Some people come into your life for a lifetime and these are the \u201ckeepers<\/em>.\u201c\u00a0 They share our lives.\u00a0 A real friend shows love, kindness and compassion and does not judge.\u00a0 Friends are unconditional, care and always want our best.\u00a0 Real friends are God\u2019s blessings!\u00a0 They are a special gift.\u00a0 Be a friend<\/em>.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

The tricky part is to know whether a person or friend is in your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.\u00a0 Regardless of how long they are in your life for, be sure to give them the best you have every moment.\u00a0 There is always some blessings, benefit or lesson gained.\u00a0 Acknowledge it and be thankful.<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\n “People are the greatest resource in the world!”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

You can have whatever you want without violating the rights of others.\u00a0 So keep your awareness burning brightly.\u00a0 Do your best to live in the moment from your heart and intuition and have fun<\/em>!<\/span>
