Friends Make Life "Sparkle"

“Don’t make friends who are comfortable to be with. Make friends who will force you to lever yourself up.”– Thomas J. Watson

A friend is one of the blessings of life. A true friend is one who stands by another in all weather.A friend is not a summer companion who fades away in the frosty days of winter.

We have lots of friends. You know that some of them are "good guys" and others are…well, not so much. And, yourealize that some of these friends can influence you in bad ways, while others inspire you to do more and be better through the examples they set each day.

Friends can bring fun, laughs and an endless number of enjoyable moments into our lives. Friends can be there for us when we need someone to talk to and guide us through difficult situations. Friends can be influential concerning our job/career as they become a part of the network that we use to find our way through life. Friends play so many important roles.They can enhance the quality of our lives.

Naturally, in this hard world, it is always good to have a friend. In life prosperity come and go like sunshine and cloud but the companionship of a good friend heightens our joys and lightens our sorrows.

What's a healthy number of friends?

Quality counts more than quantity. While it's good to cultivate a diverse network of friends and acquaintances, you also want to nurture a few truly close friends who will be there for you through thick and thin.

How you can nurture your friendships?

Developing and maintaining healthy friendships involves give-and-take. Sometimes you're the one giving support, and other times you're on the receiving end. Letting friends know you care about them and appreciate them can help strengthen your bond.

Conclusion - It's never too late to build new friendships or reconnect with old friends. Investing time in making friends and strengthening your friendships can pay off in better health and a brighter outlook for years to come.

It is better to have one loyal friend than many friends who you can't trust. When you begin to hang out in bigger friends group I think that is were the gossip starts amongst each and most of the talk will be about each other.
