Making Friends and Keeping Them

Making friends doesn’t mean we have to do put all our efforts into doing absolutely anything to win their friendship. Truth is there are just some people we will never get along with and trying to make friends with them is just a waste of time. People we befriend tend to have similar views on life or share similar interests or hobbies to us.

To make friends it also helps if we are they type of person people like to be friends with. Positive, energetic people will always have more friends than negative, lazy people. Let’s face it what type of person would you prefer to spend your time with?

Most of us tend to avoid pessimists (or should) because they will forever try to smash your dreams and come up with reasons why you will fail. Do not be one of them.

A lot of pessimists tend to operate under the guise of being realists! Are you doing that? Do you tend to point out all the reasons why someone is more likely to fail instead of encouraging them to succeed?

Exude a positive aura and you will never lack for friends. Communicate your inner glow and be willing to share your “secret” with others. When you help make others feel good about themselves you have just made the world a better place!

If you are forcing yourself to be positive and feel you are being insincere it simply means you have to work more on yourself. Start using affirmations, read inspirational books – whatever it takes to make your realize you can have it all!

Developing great friendships is simply a matter of outlook. Each and every one of us is unique and special . You have talents and traits your friends don’t have and they have talents and traits you don’t have. This makes life colorful and interesting.

It is through being positive that we can truly know what our strengths are and further enhance them so that we can help others in ways that they can’t do for themselves. If everyone was living their best life the ties between all human beings would become much stronger!
