LITTLE THINGS MATTERS MOST
Recently, I had a discussion with a friend and it seemed out of the blue for the friend to appreciate me that day.
The friend said they noticed how I have been supportive of their business, even though I don’t patronize ,which the friend was sure I would if I had the money but the least I could do was help in spreading about the business.
Now that was a moment for me, I realized sometimes friendship is more than the moments, the talk and the advice involved. Many times we don’t know we have failed as friends or successfully stayed on the path of friendship with little or no effort of doing one of the small things that might not count to us.
Many times the effect of this realization might make us beat ourselves when we find out how we could have been better towards our friends or how we could have done more for such friends to always want us around.
Sometimes, we think because some friends stop checking up, it’s our automatic right to also stop, not knowing such friend maybe experiencing the tough phase of life, and I mean who doesn’t?.
Lots of moments we have supported Friend A while forgetting B needs exactly the same support. Friend B might not react because he/she feels it’s not her right, but still she’s hurt she doesn’t get same treatment.Truth be told, we are on different scale of friendship with different people but the fact as put in much energy to make everyone realize you are the friend they want.
Sometimes we fail as friends for inconsequential reasons , sometimes we fail because we are insensitive and unreliable and sometimes we fail just because they don’t want our friendship.
In all, be the friend you seek in others.
