TUDDLES BIRTHDAY!! #152

Today is Monday July 24th.  Today we are celebrating Tuddles birthday.  

I am going to start of the day with the word of the day & quote of the day. A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT IN A WORLD OF HATE, Let's go!

When trying to find a word that would describe my friend Bamm Bamm it was very hard.  There are so many to pick from: available, caring, empathetic, funny, giving, Loyal, sensitive, generous, good listener, kind, sympathetic, truthful, understanding and considerate to name a few. He is also the word of the day, which is -

Today's word of the day is  "authentic "

//: true to one's own personality, spirit, or character

**Quote of the day:

"Some people go through extreme measures to get noticed, but when you're authentic, all you have to do is arrive!" I love that quote

What makes a perfect friendship? How do we find and keep friends who encourage and strengthen who we are?

Reflect on the most meaningful friendships in your life. Think of that person you can call at any time of the day when you need some advice, are feeling down, or when you just need a good laugh.

The beauty of friendship is that you get to choose your friends, unlike with family. But anyone who's ever had a negative experience with someone they thought was a friend can probably attest to the fact that it isn't always easy to spot true friendship.

A true friendship is defined by knowing someone has your back.  A good friend will watch out for you and ensure you are safe, feel supported, and are loved. A good friend will never purposely lead you into making decisions or taking actions that aren't good for you. A true friend will always have your best interests at heart.

The most authentic people I’ve ever met have had this quality in common: they care about me as a human being and a person.  We all know of people who only care about themselves.  When you’re around them, they only talk about themselves.  When they listen to you, you get the sense that it’s a chore or duty that they have to put up with until they can refocus back on themselves.   I know you have experienced those type of people, I have.

There’s is actually a term for them. Yes a name for it: conversational narcissist.  A conversational narcissist is a person who asks you a question about yourself, not because they’re interested in you, but because they want to use that question to tell you about them. This behavior is not being authentic.  Because authenticity has to do with our concern for other people, not just us.

And a trustworthy friend is someone who is dependable and with whom you can share your secrets without fear of them being revealed. They are someone who will always be there for you no matter what. Trustworthy friends remind you that you are not alone and empower you to be a better person.

The people in life that I’ve found the most genuine have this quality. And one of those people we are celebrating Bamm Bamm or Tuddles.
