Levels Of Friendship

Friendship Levels
Today at 1:07pm | Edit Note | Delete
Ever wondered what can be the levels of frienship?well my mesho kind of asked me this two,so i teamed up with Td Jakes,Jim Rohn,Jeremiah Creedon,and myself.These are the levels...:

To succeed in life we really have to relate in so many dimesnions,coz we associate with so many people,and get calling them friends,which is good.The trouble is if one doesnt know the levels ,especillay if you are broken,you are likely to get in trouble,even confused with your friendship.
To make it big,you cant afford just to hang out with pipo who are like you only.Not just pipo who are saved like you,talk like you, and do like you.

So to save your life This is for you!

1.Level one: Confidants
These are the fewest kind of friends.In your whole life you may have less than five confidants,if more..the rest will join your list of great enemies.
Who are these people?....these are pipo who love you unconditionally.These guys are Into YOU,period!
they are into you when up or down ,right or wrong,broke or rich....making it or screwing up.These are friends you can share ANYTHING with.you will never really succeed until you find your confidants.You need these to make to the next level.They will confront you,get in your face when necessary,and tell you are Wrong.They may annoy you but you know they have nothing but your INTEREST at heart.
David and jonathan would qualify,maybe Tigerwoods and Roger Federer seems to be too.
These guys have nothing to DIG from you.Do you have any of these?examine your company and check out.The problem with most pipo is that everyone they hangout with is under them,and want something from them...Start looking for your confidants..God help you!

2.Level two:Comrades
These guys are really not into YOU.They are also not in for what youare for.Most of them are just aginst what you are against.The only demoninator between you,is the common enemy or challenge.They will tyeam up with you,fight along side you,so long as your common enemy is still standing:classmates,Religi
ous club memebers,et all belong to this group.
Expect this type to leave as soon as : (a)the enemy /challenge is defeated (b)the enemy has defeated you...They simply come for a purpose,ad when its done,expect them to leave,no hartd feelings coz they werent into YOU in the first place.Dont tell them your dreams,coz they may not be of any encouragement,they may discourage you or worse,still your dream!
3.Level three : Constituents
These guys are not into YOU.They are into what you are FORonly.As long as you are in what they into,they will stay with you.But remember they are not into YOu.If they see someone who is for what you are for,they will leve you and go for the person.If you are broken and trying to hold on to everyone,these willbreak you more.The leave coz they got to....

If you tell your dream to:
level 1:they will support you relentlessly and help you make it
level2.they wont support you coz they arent into YOU or What your are for..So your dreams cant be carried by them.
level3:they willtry to fulfil the dream without you

4.Level four:The Best Friend:
These are supposed to be confidants.But sometimes they are not.This scenario is like marrying a witch!Then you need to practice limited association or kick them out.Jeremiah Creedon,describes them as;" A best friend listens but never judges, helps you out of a jam, tells it to you straight, and often forgives a debt. Best friends resemble invisible friends in that both are most common in childhood (and may not really exist)."

5.Level five :Old Friends
These are guys you USED to know.these are guys you used to understand.You cant assume you still know them.Some of them have become better and may move into Confidant,others become enemies,whilst others just change in ways you cant handle,so you become indifferent to them.Watch out for these guys.You cant assume you still knwo them...you cant assume they still believe,love,like or enjoy what they USED to like ,do or enjoy.
NB:
Hey guys ,check out these friends for you and evaluate.Its important to assign right time to the right people,and God willing avoid mistaking the categories at your own peril.

The Story of The Frog And The Scorpion

Posted by lawrence's ride / 6:44 AM / Comments: (0)
Two of my favourite success philosopher Jim Rohn and his protege ,Tony robbins tell of this amazing story of frog and the scorpion.,and how it reflects reality,as we know.Here it goes.

One day, a scorpion looked around at the mountain where he lived and decided that he wanted a change. So he set out on a journey through the forests and hills. He climbed over rocks and under vines and kept going until he reached a river.
The river was wide and swift, and the scorpion stopped to reconsider the situation. He couldn't see any way across. So he ran upriver and then checked downriver, all the while thinking that he might have to turn back.
Suddenly, he saw a frog sitting in the rushes by the bank of the stream on the other side of the river. He decided to ask the frog for help getting across the stream.
"Hellooo Mr. Frog!" called the scorpion across the water, "Would you be so kind as to give me a ride on your back across the river?"
"Well now, Mr. Scorpion! How do I know that if I try to help you, you wont try to kill me?" asked the frog hesitantly.
"Because," the scorpion replied, "If I try to kill you, then I would die too, for you see I cannot swim!"
Now this seemed to make sense to the frog. But he asked. "What about when I get close to the bank? You could still try to kill me and get back to the shore!"
"This is true," agreed the scorpion, "But then I wouldn't be able to get to the other side of the river!"
"Alright then...how do I know you wont just wait till we get to the other side and THEN kill me?" said the frog.
"Ahh...," crooned the scorpion, "Because you see, once you've taken me to the other side of this river, I will be so grateful for your help, that it would hardly be fair to reward you with death, now would it?!"
So the frog agreed to take the scorpion across the river. He swam over to the bank and settled himself near the mud to pick up his passenger. The scorpion crawled onto the frog's back, his sharp claws prickling into the frog's soft hide, and the frog slid into the river. The muddy water swirled around them, but the frog stayed near the surface so the scorpion would not drown. He kicked strongly through the first half of the stream, his flippers paddling wildly against the current.
Halfway across the river, the frog suddenly felt a sharp sting in his back and, out of the corner of his eye, saw the scorpion remove his stinger from the frog's back. A deadening numbness began to creep into his limbs.
"You fool!" croaked the frog, "Now we shall both die! Why on earth did you do that?"
The scorpion shrugged, and did a little jig on the drownings frog's back.
"I could not help myself. It is my nature."
Then they both sank into the muddy waters of the swiftly flowing river.

Jim Rohn,Tony robbins and Me;Post card:

Some people are better do do without even though they have extraordinary talent or stuff because of who they are.

Trust is an investment,think before you commit

Track record is a good measure of a person's character,so observe carefully.

If it seems too good to be true,then follow ur gut..it aint true!

Jim Rohn, a considers him a success guru for me,and a life coach.I have a number of his books and find them really helpful.Check out his check list of a good life:

1.Productivity
-Do something with your life.The good living blokes have something to do.A career in something that really turns you on.
2.Good friends
-A personal cheer leading crew will be of help in hard and good times.The good life requires you have friends from the 5 different levels of friendship
3.Spirituality
-Faith for everyday living.The faith keep you going when hope is all you got.
4.Dont miss anything
-Maximize the fun and the learning.Above all ,get all you can,a good balance of fun and work.
5.Great inner circle
-Keep close confidant and personal inner circle to critic and encourage you. Select the inner circle brutally.
6.Ask for God'd help
-Admit you are not God,and could use God's help
