Three Types of Friendships

Many friendships will come and go in life. In seasons of change, a person will encounter new friends, and old friends will fall away. There are friendships that stay with you during a lifetime. Those friends are the first ones you call to share good news and the ones you can count on in times of crisis.

The seasonal friends may be those you work with. There may be minimal outside contact with them besides the day-to-day of working together. These friends share your joys, may know of your sorrows, but they don’t connect deeply in your situation. I like to call them the flyaway friends. When a person leaves their job, you don’t see them anymore. That’s it. They are gone from your life. They lasted for a season and now they depart. It is important to mention however, some of these working relationships may turn into lifetime friends.

Those lifetime friends are those who have seen you at your worst. They have celebrated with you, cried with you, and have lasted a lifetime with you. These friendships can live at a distant or be close.  You can be out of touch with them for days or months, but when you connect, it’s just like yesterday.  These special friendships connect you within the deepest part of your soul.

Who Are Your Inspirational Heroes

Tonight is Oscar night. It’s the biggest night in Hollywood. It makes me think about all the glamour and glitz while the celebrities walk the red carpet. They wear the highest designer fashions.  We turn on our televisions to watch their arrivals. We wait to see who will win the Academy Award. We hope our favorites take home the Oscar.

In this generation many people idolize famous celebrities, athletes and others within the entertainment industry. Who are your heroes? Whoever you admire says a lot about who you are.

These inspirational heroes change us. They make us think differently about ourselves and the lives we live.  Those who make a big impact in the world, leave a lasting legacy that transforms our lives.

In this excerpt from ‘Awakening the Dream Within’ it says, “In life, we leave a legacy to our children; we leave our footprints wherever we travel, and we leave our fingerprints on every heart we touch.”

Leaving a Legacy

The shadows our lives cast convey an incredible legacy. We create an amazing touch in someone else’s journey, producing a ripple effect in each other’s life.

Can you define your limits?  You have the ability to make a difference in the lives around you.  You exist and therefore you are already making a difference to those in your life.  How do you want to be remembered?  What kind of legacy will you leave?

Discover your purpose and live a life of passion.  Your dreams are there, waiting to be awakened.

Every life you touch is impacted by your presence.
