Make Moves, not excuses.

I don't believe in sitting there and not doing anything about a problem. I believe in making moves.

I know there's certain type of friends when you tell something to them, they just acknowledge it and forget about it. I wonder, what the hell was the point in even telling you my problem if you can't even attempt to help me? After all, isn't that what 'friends' are for?

 

Here's a secret; people don't just tell you something for the fuck of it. A lot of the times, it's because they need help. Your help. When a person confides [personal] information to you, it's because the situation is so overwhelming for them, they actually need outside help. They're looking for the advice or the input of others. And as a friend, your job is to be there for them. Even if you don't have all the right answers, don't worry, all you have do is listen. And alot of the times, people don't even expect you to have an answer, they just want the comfort of knowing someone is actually willing to listen to them.

*Picture this; When your praying at night, and your talking to God, does he interrupt you? Does he talk over you? No, he stays quiet and listens to you. He's such a good listener, that at times, we may think He's not hearing us, but he does. Sometimes we wonder why is He so quiet? But He's quiet because He's busy LISTENING to you talk. God knows what we don't know, He knows how to be the perfect friend. *

 

So the next time, when someone comes to you for help. Don't shun them, or ignore them. Read between the lines, and feel special that person actually feels comfotable coming to you for help. Also, in my mind the respect God gives to you when you run to him with your problem(s). The same way God is respectful enough to stay quiet and actually LISTEN to you talk, you also need to have that respect for others.
