The Joy of True Friends
"Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom." - Marcel Proust
“The best way you can cheer yourself up is to cheer someone else up” - Mark Twain
A True Friend is one of the nicest things to have, but also one of the nicest things to be. Be good to your friends and choose to spend time with the ones that are good to you. Take note of how you feel when you are lifted up by a friend. Now, take note of how you feel when a so-called friend brings you down. The natural choice between the two is to be uplifted. Uplift your true friends and hold dear, the ones that uplift you. A True Friend will accept you for you are, without jealousy or gossip, and will be quicker to lift you up than to bring you down, bringing out the best in you. The joy from a good friendship will follow you in all aspects of your life.
"The key is to keep company only with people who uplift you, whose presence calls forth your best."
- Epictetus
