This is a long blog post, but it is important as we discuss building self confidence. Love, Judy
I Want to be the Kind of Friend I Would
Like to Have
© Judy H. Wright
Is friendship important? Do you feel or think that others don’t want
to be your friend? Do you label yourself as “shy” or a “loner”? If you could
look in a catalog to find the kind of friend you would like, what would you
look for? How many of those
characteristics do you share with others?
May I challenge you to spend
the next 30 days picking one of these affirmations each morning and repeat it
over and over until it becomes automatic action? Write
it out on a 3 by 5 card and slip it in your pocket. Take it out many times and read it over and
over.
If you do, I guarantee you in
a month, you will have new friends who are nurturing and kind.
