On my mind right now...friends, or should I say lack there of. Not acquaintances, or friends of no substance, but I am speaking about real friends. Those real friends who know the secrets of your heart. Sometimes, some days like today, I feel those kind of friends are few and far between. I am now surrounded by a new perspective. I used to feel that if I was a real friend, I would attract others like me. It is hard not to be disappointed by a person's lack of common sense, if you will. Being a good friend, I felt, came easy for me. Now I realize, not everyone chooses to be real, and maybe that is where the problem lies. It is crazy how people around me use friendship to manipulate. They give with expectations. What happened to just giving to give? Whatever, whoever you are...please just be REAL! So as I was so educated yesterday in a quote I read...maybe the problem stems within.
"an essential spiritual truth: People mirror back to us the reality of who we are." - Deepak Chopra
In that reflection I see my true image. So rather than be so quick to see where others fail me, I choose today to work on me. How about you?
