I was at a party this past Sunday, great food, wonderful people and a little Karaoke. With fervor and passion our resident chef and caterer sang “With A Little Help from My Friends”. People chimed in on the chorus with great enthusiasm, clapping and cheering as if they were at a rock concert. It was great fun, yet the words "with a little help from my friends" gave me pause to think about a deeper meaning.
Monday I wrote about the people in our lives who are our teachers, mentors and coaches. But what about the people in our lives that are there every day for us, the ones who support us when we really need it? Is there a friend in your life who you can share your wins with and lean on when the going gets tough?
There is a difference between creating a co-dependent relationship and finding someone who really has faith in your abilities and supports your dreams. There may be times when you just need to sit in the silence and simply be with someone, or times when you’re in a jam and a friend’s support is really needed. Sometimes your friend might get in your face and say,” get a grip!” Your belief partner could be a mother, a sister, a father, a son. You’re belief partner could be your spouse significant other or life partner. How does it feel to have a loving supportive relationship with someone who believes in you? A relationship where you are totally supported verses a relationship that sucks the life out of both of you? It would be a lonely world indeed without a little help from your friends.
In your daily life, there are many voices and influences, think about whose voice you choose to listen to. Now begin to create a relationship with a partner that truly believes in you.
