Good friends = Good Relationships

“Good friends are like stars.... You don't always see them, but you know they are always there”

“A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words.”

"A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.”

“The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart.”

“true friendship isn't about being there when it's convenient; it's about being there when it's not.”

Now...to those of the opposite sex:  how can you expect to be a good woman to your man if you aren't even a good friend? Often, these decisions involve choosing others as friends - and all of us would like to choose good friends - people we can consider real "team players."

It's sometimes very mysterious why we choose who we do as team players. Often we like a person right away based on some intuitive thought or feeling. When asked, we say that it just "felt" right. Other times we may observe someone for a while with admiration, and build up to a formal introduction.

Friendship is a wonderful thing and is vitally important for personal growth and success. It can be found in the 'wind' realm which represents surrendering oneself to a greater good where the total result produced is equal to much more than just the sum of the parts added together.

Friendship itself is sometimes sparked by what we call "vibes," or a strange and electric power of attraction. This is what gives it such a terrific and seemingly magical power to tie people together so closely. All the same, our first impressions can often be mistaken. We've all made mistakes before in the friends we've chosen. Often, we'd like to ignore, forget, or believe that we had anything to do with the selection, but we shouldn't. It's these lessons that remind us that we are human and make mistakes, as-well-as the fact that not everyone we meet will enter into a relationship (whether business, personal, etc.), for the same reasons that we do. It's not right or wrong - good or bad. It's just life.

There's really no way to be 100% certain that everyone, or anyone, you choose as a friend will turn out to be a good team player. But, living life 'is' a terrific place to meet new people, especially those with many of the same interests, and often with the same focus and desire for purpose, power, and interdependence (as opposed to dependence or co-dependence) in their affiliations.

With that all said, if we all learned how to be "good friends", we could all have much better intimate relationships.  If your relationship are bad or you abandon them, it’s probably because you’re not a " good" friend.
