12 Things We Forget To Thank Our Best Friends For

Motivational Monday with Eng. Joseph B. Kibui
Below are 12 Things We Forget To Thank Our Best Friends For

1. “Thank you for making so many ordinary moments, extraordinary.”
   – Yes, sometimes the most ordinary things can be made extraordinary, just by doing them with the right people.

2. “Thank you for always giving me the extra push I need.”
   – A best friend is someone who will inspire you to be who you always knew you could be. Keep this in mind. Anyone who helps you make your half-hearted attempts more whole-hearted through kindness, commitment and teamwork, is a keeper.

3. “Thank you for telling me the truth.”
   – Remember, being honest might not always get you a lot of friends, but it will always get you the right ones. Too many of us prefer gentle lies to hard truths.

4. “Thank you for talking things out with me.”
   – Lots of problems in the world would disappear if we talked to each other instead of about each other.

5. “Thank you for meeting me halfway.”
   – Best friends ultimately meet in the middle.

6. “Thank you for not getting in the way of the other important parts of my life.”
   – A healthy relationship will never require you to sacrifice your happiness, your other important relationships, your dreams, or your dignity.

7. “Thank you for being compassionate.”
   – Let their kindness and compassion remind you to pay it forward.

8. “Thank you for the compliments.”
   – It’s nice to be complimented, isn’t it? Do not miss a chance – not one single, tiny opportunity – to tell someone you care about how wonderful they are and how beautiful they are, inside and out.

9. “Thank you for making time for me.”
   – When you are important to another person, they will always find a way to make time for you – no excuses, no lies, and no broken promises.

10. “Thank you for knowing when something is wrong with me.”
    – An incredible thing happens when we pay close attention to each other. We help each other heal, sometimes before we even hurt. A person who truly knows and loves you – a best friend – is someone who sees the pain in your eyes while everyone else still believes the smile on your face.

11. “Thank you for making the extra effort to understand me.”
    – It’s much easier to judge people than it is to understand them; understanding takes extra kindness and patience. And this “extra” is always worth it.

12. “Thank you for supporting my decisions.”
    – Don’t listen to those who tell you exactly what to do. Listen to those special few who encourage you to do what you already know in your heart is right.
