FRIENDSHIPS- (the bond)

Before we start this brief chapter I would like to ask you a question. 'Does a friendship matter to your success?’ In our lives, in our world there are many keys towards the right path but, each key carries a message. A message that becomes a purpose, a motivation, a reason to live. When things become tough there is always a bond that doesn’t allow us to weaken. Instead, it makes us stronger, calmer, and wiser against any situation or obstacle that tries to stop us in our tracks. We become fearless and determined, together us and that bond are undisputed. Whether this bond is between a piece that was given to you by a love one, an object you find lucky, a person you find trusting, or a quote you find soothing, regardless you and that bond are strong together having what you and no other could ever have "A True Friendship". There are moments in our lives when certain people, certain love ones, certain objects begin to break these bonds causing us to believe that we are better on our own that the bond within the person in our morning mirror is the only bond that’s needed. Soon after, we begin to walk guarded, narrow, and blindly independent allowing ourselves to reject and neglect all bonds willing to fill in the empty space that is cover with a dark mask. We forget what having a friendship is all about, we become fearful, defeated without any realization to how we are defeated and if you are unfortunately in this mind set allow me to explain. In my belief, when our bonds are broken or neglected our minds become narrow, our patience is thin, our guards are too high. It is only human to become this protective but it is the one instinct we have as humans that we need to moderate. I’m sure you’re wondering 'why?’ The answer is simple, the reason to why this one instinct needs moderation is due to the fact that we need an open mind, a wide perspective, a broaden horizon in order to be truly successful, truly independent to be able to walk the right path. Friends, bonds, open these doors & windows to views and situations we have yet to see helping us to learn what they have learned and in return we do the same. "It is not dependent to have a friend and to realize that you need a friend because no matter where you go, no matter what you do, a bond is made, a connection is created, In the end it’s all about who you know"- Jason Burnett
