We all have people in our lives that come and go, but they don't always bring any value or commitment. Then there are others that are here for the long haul. They care about us and are willing to hold our hand when necessary.
These 7 people will help you get what you want and need:
• A lifelong friend – will be with you whether you’re embarking on a crazy trip, doing some serious soul searching or feeling a little sorry for yourself.
• Male friend – is a platonic friend that you can be open and real with. His insight will be especially helpful when you’re faced with making difficult decisions.
• A Financial Advisor – will whip you into financial shape. Gets you to face the truth about your finances and recommends what you need not just what you want.
• A Fitness Friend – gets you off the couch and exercising for fun, not just weight loss.
• A Doctor You Trust – because this relationship can save your life.
• An older Mentor – can empower you by providing a role model of what life can be.
• A dreamer – encourages you to take action towards your dreams.
Almost all the people you meet feel themselves superior to you in some way. A sure way to their hearts is to let them realize in some subtle way that you recognize their importance and recognize it sincerely.
