Choosing Friends Wisely

By Ruth Purple

Friends can be such a blessing in any persons' life. They can laugh with you in joyful times, or give a comforting hug in times of sadness and pain. Having friends can endow one with a limitless healing power. It is a true gift when one finds others in life that is on the same spiritual path as they are. The feeling of being alone suddenly ebbs, and in helping others, a person helps himself as well. Anybody will surely be reminded of the things that make life worthwhile, and heal anything that holds one down. It is essential for a person to take the time to really get to know oneself in choosing friends or finding "angels" who are on the same path as they are.

You need to discover your inner self-know what your values are and strive to stand firmly to them. By this, you can be sure that you'll begin to meet others with the same values as you have. After all, like energy attracts like energy. In order to gain quality friends, you must know how to be a quality friend. Friends can always divide one's sorrows and multiply one's joys. Anyone in your life who is dragging you down is absolutely not a friend. This kind of individuals are on a different path in life and they need to meet other people and learn different life lessons.

Meeting people on the same path as you are can give one an opportunity to grow and succeed and live the life that a person is meant to live. persons like this will surely lift your spirits, as they can make you feel better as you learn from them. It is vital to choose one's friends wisely, for they are reflections of the heart. Choosing friends wisely can make a big difference in one's life. you must assure yourself everyday that you deserve to be surrounded by people who have trust and confidence in you-those who are able to see the infinite beauty in you and the world; people who are kind and have only the best intentions for others.

Always believe that there are angels in the world, and that all our struggles happen for a reason-to make us stronger and more understanding of people and life in general. One thing to remember in choosing friends is to move slowly with people. It is not easy getting to know a person genuinely. It would be wise to take your time to really get to know a person inside and out in choosing friends. But the benefits can be rewarding, because once you truly know a person, there will be a lesser chance of knowing people that may cause you pain and anguish in the future.

Spending some time with the person will enable you to see his/her true colors. Time reveals all, so try to be patient and don't rush things because it could actually work to your advantage. Don't ever let your heart be jaded from past experiences. Instead, learn to trust your instincts and hope that everything will work out fine.

  3. for me choosing friends wisely is very important to us. because you don`t know the attitude of the person. maybe he/she is good for us or he/she is bad for us.
    when we choose friends we should know the attitude of the person so that we will understand each other.
    that`s why we should choose friends wisely.

  4. CHOOSING FRIENDS WISELY.

    What a nice Thought I have just got. I have learned that to choose a friend, we have to be patience because time reveals all. We cannot neglect the fact that there are people who are just good by the first time we meet them. We didn't know who they really are, and that will be their portal in ruining our lives. It is really true that there are people who only base their standards in choosing a friend by just looking on the things they see outside or the so-called Physical or outer appearance. If they see that you are not well dressed, then they will just don't entertain any comments you want to say. How I wish I can find true friends that will stay and will be loyal to me whatever the situation or season for richer or for poorer, in sickness and health, TRUE FRIENDS forever. hehe. Have a nice day sir.

  7. CHOOSING FRIENDS WISELY...


    Yes!!!I agree its better to have a friends, Because friends is the one who comforts us when we have a problem and they makes us laugh when we are sad.
    "FRIENDS IS A SHOULDER TO CRY ON"
    But of course, We have to choose our friends wisely and carefully, Because in this days we didn't know the person who they really are and whom we can trust. Because some of friends we are choosing are "BACKBITERS" and it ruined our lives. So be careful and we have to be aware of choosing a good friends.

  10. Finding a true friend is finding a real treasure however, we must be extra careful in choosing them because they could build us up or tear us down. a true friend is always on your side through thick and thin. He/she is there to listen and not condemn. He/she is there to comfort and always ready for good advice like Jonathan and David in the Bible they were there for each other no matter what.

  11. I believed in the saying "tell me your friends and I will tell you who you are".
    So we should choose a friend wisely because either they will help you or lead you to destruction. It's lucky to find a good friend rather than enjoying your life with a bad influence friends. Because I have an experience that I had a bad influence friends since I was in high school they brought me everywhere and somewhere down the road I mean they are bad influence. So I realized that true friends are not affordable and priceless because friends are just awesome. G???
    (So we should choose friends wisely! GO! GO! GO! hurry make a good friend. hurry promos until December 25 2010 because I will give them a gift).

  14. It is true in what is stated on the article. Finding a friend is not easy because you should have to know the person's attitude if it is fit on your personality. Friends also can make us know more about ourselves for they are the one who sees what we do and judge our personality. And friends, they can be your family because they are their to comfort you when you are sad and they are their to make you feel good and happy. So friendship is important in our daily life.

  15. For me it is important to choose friend because they are the influence to us,,if they are good you are in the right path,but if they are bad we don't know if what we are in the future.
    If we found a good friend we must be thankful for that because in this day it's so difficult to find a good and true friend.

  16. It's nice to choose & search for friends. . . not because you just want to have your barkadas, !! but also for us to have a sharing element ..!

    But on choosing "bff" you shall be wisely enough; be sure to discover and scrutinized your circle of friends...

  17. Choosing a friend is adventurous, because you will find for that person who you really comfortable with. I think now, I already find my friends in our school because we are laughing together and if ever there is one of us that have a problem, we help her forget it or what to do.

  19. Choosing friends wisely is the most important to have good friends.Having a friend makes my life complete.They make me laugh when i am sad,they make me cry when i am happy..They love me who am i and what am i.
    Having a friend is like an achievement that you can be proud of.At first you may think that he/she is deserving for you as a friend.But,some of them leaves when you are down,so you must know their true colors.It's true that a friend is an "angel" that God gives it to you and it is a part of your life.
    Treat them like a part of your family and they will love you back..

  24. FOR me also it is good to choose friend because friend is always at your side to comfort,care,love, help and not influencing you to do something baleful and we must wisely,anxious to choose best friend.

  25. It is so difficult to find your very true friend because of the fact that most of the people around you are just like the fox wearing a sheep’s clothes. And when talking about friends the first things that will come to my mind is that a person where you can TRUST, SHOULDER ON and can help you heal your wounds from problems.

    In my own way of choosing a friend at first I will look whether he/she is simple, next when he/she can be with you in times of trouble of yours, a good listener, and also have a good sense of humor.

  28. It's hard to find a real friend because a real friend is always there to comfort you, help your problems, you can lean on him, a keeper of secrets....Choosing friends wisely is a great idea but we need to remember that God is the only one friend we could really trust.

  30. Friends are life best treasure. They can help us to become happy, help us with our problems and difficulties and give us strength to overcome trials but there are friends who will bring us down. A true friend is someone who believe you're a good egg, even if you're little crack. We have many friends throughout our lives but only few of those friends are always in our side because some of them come and go, some transfer to other places, others were gone, and most forget you that is why in choosing friends we have to consider some limitation because some may influence us worstly. But anyway, I just would like to share this little quotation of friendship that goes "In welcoming friends, make a new one but keep the old!" GOD BLESS!

  31. Friends is a gift that God grant to us aside from our family. Friends are those person who are a good listener and adviser which you can share about everything without hesitation and whom you can trust completely. In choosing a friends you have to consider some limitations because your friends personalities also reflect for who you are. We have many friends throughout our lives but only a few of those friends we can call a good friend because in choosing friends involves time, understanding and love.
