One thing I always tell people is this, clout and position do not determine a person’s true friend. My late mum was a retired school administrator but two of her closest friends were high up there, a proprietress of elite schools in Lagos and the wife of former IGP.
But they remained friends with her to the end and I told my siblings at her burial that the role of her friends thought me a lot about friendship. Friendship is not who you see all the time or who your circumstances permits you to be with, it’s a lot more than that
The role some of my late mum’s friend played when she died made me realize that the word friendship is really deep. For people to perform roles dutifully when you are dead, it shows the bond you had while you were alive with them. The shock is, those you see everyday might not...
Those you see and help everyday might not perform such roles when you are dead- to them, your association with them might be by convenience. Those who perform duties expected from your association with them, even when it is not convenient, are your real friends
There was a time in my life that I just made friends, every accomplice and company were my friends, till it clicked that at a certain age, you have to choose your friends and not just make them. These days, I had rather dwell in silence than call certain people friends
The world is a forcefield of energies and those who surround you or those you associate with, can affect you. If the energies emanating from those you associate with, is negative towards you, it might affect your progress in life, not everything is witchcraft
Friendship can determine how far you go in life, it can help you conquer principalities and he who has a true friend, has found a good thing. Life isn’t just about what we see, so sometimes emotions and sentiments don’t help us make the best decisions. Choose your friends!
