Are you surrounded by "YES" people who agree with everything you say and do? Do you distance yourself from people who tell you the truth? Do you hang with people who just go along? If so, stop it.
Every one wants people to agree with them. I know I do. But, sometimes that can be more of a hindrance than a help. We all need someone in our lives who we can trust to tell us the truth no matter what. That doesn't mean we have to be around downers or people who are always discouraging us from reaching our full potential. That means we need someone in our lives who cares enough about us to tell us when we're wrong even if we get angry or to encourage us on things that might scare us. These people push us to be real and honest with ourselves. That is a good thing.
A friend loves at all times. A true friend loves enough that they will risk your wrath in order to do what's best for you. Take a little time and take inventory of those people in your life who are true friends. Let them know how much you appreciate them. Remember, they love you or else they wouldn't care.
