Friendships can be our most enduring and important relationships. We can live without lovers or spouses. We can live without our primary families, but most of us cannot live happily and fully without friends because most of us have a great need to share our life experiences with others. Not only do we learn more about others when we engage in friendship, but we can also learn more about ourselves. Friends can be mirrors of our self-worth and self-esteem. They give us the perfect opportunity to look at ourselves, and the areas where we might need to grow. They are actually a reflection of ourselves at any given moment. So, today remember that the best friend you have in the entire world is YOURSELF! So, be good to your best friend today!

Just for today, I am my own best friend. Other friends will come and go but I am always here for and with myself. I support myself in feeling good. And so it is.
