Friendship feeds my SOUL

The Roman philosopher Cicero believed that in order to have a true friendship with someone, one must have complete honesty, truth, and trust. He also thought that friends would do things for each other without expectation of repayment.

Friendship is a personal relationship shared between each friend for the welfare of the other, in other words, it is the relationship of trust, faith and concern for each other’s feelings. It is a relationship of mutual caring and intimacy among one another. A friend is one who knows you as a person and regards you for what you are and not what he or she is looking for in a good friend. A best friend is one who accepts the good as well as the bad qualities of his or her friend.

A true friendship does not consist of a huge number of friends you keep but it is valued by its worth and capability to hold you and stand by you in all phases of life. That said finding a best friend from among your friends is the hardest task to do.

A true friend or best friend is someone who can always put a smile on your face, knows the little things about you, like what ticks you off and knows that he/she has to order a Mojito for you whenever they go out. It has been said that some friends can have a complete conversion with just emoticons :-)

Throughout these years I have learnt a lot about friendship and I have experienced different levels of friendship. It is often very difficult to foresee a true friend. In many cases people have created a facade of a so called friendship. These ‘fake’ friends are only there to use and abuse your kindness.
I have in my years encountered such people; I often wonder what they could possibly gain by damaging a relationship that could have lasted for years on end. I once read somewhere that Best friends are like diamonds, PRECIOUS and RARE, False friends are like leaves, found everywhere.

Life without a friend is like a kinder joy without the mystery toy or like Easter without hot cross buns. The key to maintaining a friendship is to never change who you are and to always be true to yourself. Always keep the doors of communication open and you will find that your friendship will blossom more and more each day. I also feel that it is necessary to be open minded and you should never ever stop making friends.

The Life of a Procrastinator

I was going to post this earlier but I decided to do other stuff first. Yes that’s right ladies and gentlemen I am a procrastinator. I have always been this way and for some reason cannot force myself to change or to make the changes that I want and need so badly.

I always for some reason need to be pushed to the limit to actually get things done, this however happens only to my personal life. When it comes to work or helping others I get things done on the spot.

Am I the only one on this planet that has this problem? That was a rhetorical question….NO, there are so many of us out there. Ok, so I need to buy a car, I have all the necessary means to go out and buy a car but a voice in my head keeps telling me that I really don’t need a car, and that I am quite comfortable with the life that I have. But guess what? That’s not true, I want more, I need more, and I always have this urge to be more but why is it that I always stop myself?
Is it because I am just plain lazy? I hope not, I really don’t see myself as a lazy person, I quite like to think of myself as a go-getter, now that’s a contradicting statement coming from a procrastinator…
So I think the ultimate question for me now is HOW DO I CHANGE? HOW DO I GET THINGS DONE WITHOUT PUTTING THEM OFF TO LATER DATES?

These are questions that will probably never get answered…but right now I am going to put off completing this blog and do some other stuff.
