Choose Wisely

Friends Become Family

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished about a year ago 1 min read
We can choose our friends

“Surround yourself

only

with people who lift you higher

because friends

are the family

you choose yourself”

When we have

Positive friends

who Encourage us,

our Lives become Stronger.

We need this

for our Mental Health.

Having friends

who are constantly greeting us

with Optimistic words

Upbuild our Minds

and

Help us to Believe

in the world around us.

As humans,

we ‘copy’ each other,

and

we ‘rub off’ on each other.

We also will become

Positive

and have

Faith

in Ourselves and Others.

Being

a Good Friend

will

Attract Good Friends.

A True Friend

is said to have

‘Unconditional Love’

and when this is Mutual,

it can

become Stronger than family.

A True Friendship shows

this Unconditional Love

and

expects nothing in return.

He or she

will not judge you or think less of you

but will always

try Help you and think the Best of You.

When we

Nurture such Friendship,

Maintaining it,

we

Cultivate a Friend for Life.

This is something we all need.

These kinds of friendships

have such a Good effect

on our Mental Health,

which affects us

Emotionally

and

Physically.

‘We can't choose our family

but

we can choose our friends’.

Choose Wisely.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
