“If you go looking for a friend, you’re going to find they’re very scarce. If you go out to be a friend, you’ll find them everywhere.” Zig Ziglar

Meaning of the Quote:

When you go looking for a friend, you have to first be a friend in order to find a friend. Like attracts like.

Discussion of the Quote:

Indeed, if you go looking for a friend without possessing the real qualities of a friend, you will find a few or none at all. However, if you are a true friend and you possess the qualities of a friend, when you go out as such, you will find friends everywhere.

“You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.” Dale Carnegie.

Friends are the family you choose. It is a rare gift when you have friends to share your life with. They are always there when you need them. Friends laugh with you and sometimes at you. They love you unconditionally for everything that you are and aren’t. At the drop of a hat, they are there for you if you need a shoulder to cry on.

“Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It’s not something you learn in school. But if you haven’t learned the meaning of friendship. You really haven’t learned anything.” Muhammad Ali

Final Thoughts:

“Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together.” Woodrow T. Wilson

Your friends challenge you, teach you to be kind, loving and supportive. They help you to weather lonely times and help to keep you mentally and physically strong because they help you to deal with stress, change your outlook on life for the better and are important to your physical health as eating well and keeping fit.

Furthermore, your friends help you to interact with just about everyone. They also help you to grow and learn new things. Your friends provide you with support and help you to weather the ups and downs in life. They are your sounding boards and the key to your success with all your relationships which can create a sense of purpose in your life.

More importantly, friends improve the quality of your life. They fill your life with laughter, great conversations and fun-loving times. When things go wrong, they are there to help you to put things in perspective. They are your cheer leaders when you achieve success. Friends not only help you to live; they help you to thrive.

“A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future and accepts you just the way you are. Unknown

Hi Nicola,

Thank you for sharing this wonderful post! It's a great reminder because we sometimes forget. We often think of ourselves and not being aware of other peoples' values (even strangers) we take for granted.

When we open our hearts to the world around us and give of ourselves to people less fortunate then we, is a great gift of friendship.

Interesting sentiments about being a friend and having friends. I have come to learn though that not all who call you frien, or even who you consider as friends, fit the bill. Even when you are being a friend.

The genuine friends can most times be numbered on the hand. These we have to cherish.
