So I was thinking... if we should surround ourselves with people who contribute to our happiness, we should always make sure that we contribute to the happiness of the people around us!
Sometimes we are so focused on what WE need but we can't forget to make sure that we are everything we want them to be for us... for them! Listen to your friends and give them advice when needed; shut up when needed. Don't be the person who only takes from others but never gives anything back. Any and all relationships are a two way street and you have to make sure that you shape yourself enough to be the best person you can be for you and for them. Being there for them doesn't mean that you always have to put yourself aside to please them. But being a good friend means knowing when to put yourself aside to be who they need you to be. What do you want your friends to do for you? Are you willing to do the same for them? Don't be selfish, treat others the way you want to be treated! If everyone would do that... there would be no war but sadly we can't make people be good people. But we can influence others by showing them our best behavior. Lead by example. Your friendships will become better when you put more effort into them and they will automatically put in more effort if they see you doing everything you can for them! Be what you want from others!
