Qualities of friends

F.R.I.E.N.D.S- (F)ight for you (R)espect you (I)nclude you

(E)ncourage you (N)eed you (D)eserve you (S)tand by you!!

To receive these qualities from someone else, they must start with us.  We need to give these things to ourselves before anyone else can give them to us.

For example do you: -

fight for yourself?  Imagine if someone put shit on one of your friends, how that would make you feel.  Would it be OK with you?  Do you feel the same way and want to fight for yourself when it happens to you, or do you somehow justify it!

respect yourself?  Would you hang out with someone that had no respect?  How much honor, esteem and worth do you have for yourself?  Do you have great respect for your personal qualities and abilities?

If you have a friend like this chances are you have all these qualities.
