Friendship

Today's word asks us to take a look at the type of friend we are. Are you a good listener? Are you there for your best friend at any hour of the day or night with a compassionate answer or just with a shoulder to cry on? Do you do your best to empower your best friend, to show him/her how beautiful they are? Do you tell this friend that your world is a little brighter because of them? If you do all of these things truly you have learned the art of being a great friend.

The best friend you can have however is yourself, and many of us find we are sorely lacking in this friendship department. Today, be your own best friend. Look in the mirror and tell your soul mate how wonderful he/she is.

You are the only person you are guaranteed to be with for eternity, so learn to love and appreciate how beautiful and wonderful you are right now. Love and accept yourself with a best friend's heart.

Today's Exercise:

Spend at least 5 minutes in front of the mirror. Take a good look at the person looking back at you. Do you truly know this person? Pay attention to and record all the feelings and questions that come to mind. Tell this person in the mirror everything you need to express to him/her. Afraid of feeling silly? Aren't best friends worth it?
