Life has a way of knocking us off our feet. Having the right people around us to help us back up and shake the dust off can make all the difference in the world! Here are some friends that are defiantly worth keeping in your corner.
1. Friends that give you their time
I've always heard that the line between a good friend and a great friend is who you know you can call in the middle of the night, and everyone needs at least one person that will be there for them no matter what time it is. Sometimes there just aren't words for a situation, but we all know that one person who's presence is comforting.
2. Friends that give you YOUR time
Good friends know that you don't have to hang out every day 24/7 to be there for each other- sometimes we need space and the right people realize that this is ok.
3. Friends that lift you up
Friends who know how to build you up in bad times are worth their weight in gold. These are the people who will put their arm around you and walk with you through bad times.
4. Friends that need your help
As great as it is to have people who you can rely on, you'll never truly grow until you have someone that you're able to pour into for yourself. Investing in another person is one of the most rewarding things you can ever do.
5. Friends who think differently than you
While it's absolutely important to have people that can grow along side you, it's also a good idea to have people who are willing to give you a perspective that will grow the way you think.
6. Friends who are completely honest with you
Sometimes the truth just hurts, and it takes a lot of love to speak the truth in a situation where it may not be well received.
7. Friends who know how to listen
There are times where we don't need advice, we just need someone to be there. The friends that know that love doesn't take words are worth more than we know how to say.
8.Friends who's personality is different than yours
It's easy to forget that the hole world isn't full of people just like us- maybe you're super quiet or even super out going. Having someone who may not always respond like you is a way to grow as a person and gain new perspective. People that help round you out can give you a hole new way to see the world.
9. Friends who know how to laugh
It's hard to think of better medicine than a good belly laugh. A friend who knows how to find the joy in a day full of rain clouds is someone you need to keep close.
