You are your most trusted ally
BE YOUR OWN BEST FRIEND
Everyone needs a friend who knows you inside and out, who cheers for your victories, forgives your mistakes, and stands by you through every thick and thin, who will never let go no matter what. In reality, everyone has that one friend, and that friend is supposed to be you. No one can know you more than you know yourself, even when you deceive others, you cannot deceive yourself. As easy as it may sound, many people are not their own best friends, they deny themselves that privilege of friendship, by being harsh on themselves.
One of the most revolutionary choices you can make in life is to become your own best friend. It is not about just making yourself feel good, it is making that powerful shift that unlocks your resilience, joy, and unshakeable confidence. True friends do not berate themselves, they offer kindness, patience, and encouragement to themselves, and lift themselves up, when they fall. They do not criticise themselves harshly, but kindly, and constructively.
Life is tough, and external validation is fleeting. Friends, family, and partners may come and go, but you are always with yourself. When you are your own best friend, you will build an unbreakable foundation; you will pursue dreams without fear of failure, because you know you will be there to push yourself, encourage yourself, and catch yourself when you fall. In moments of solitude, you will find contentment with yourself, not loneliness, turning quietness into opportunities for self-discovery.
Becoming your own best friend is a journey, not a destination. There will be days when old habits resurface, and that is not strange. True friends don't abandon you over imperfections, they stand with you and help you beat your challenges. With time your bond strengthens, turning you into a force, resilient, radiant, and ready for whatever comes next. Be your own best friend, beat all odds.
To a better you, Kamikun John.
