I never turn on a T.V. unless it’s a rare occasion when I put in a DVD. I haven’t watched T.V. in the last ten years. Of course when I’m at someone’s house and they have it on I really have no choice. Let me take that back I did watch the Golden Girls a couple times a couple years ago when I use to live with Jim Kelly and Mike Denny. It was Mike’s favorite show after training. I must admit it was a good time!!lol

Anyway on Sunday I passed by the T.V. while Leslie was watching some reality show called the House Wives of Atlanta or something like that. I heard a woman in the studio recording a song and she sounded like a dying cat or something. It caught my attention so I stopped and watched like five minutes of it. This woman was at the studio recording under the supervision of her friend who use to be in a famous singing group.

The whole time the woman was singing the friend was making faces to others in the studio that said she is horrible. She never told the girl who was singing. She told her to go back to the vocal trainer if she didn’t just want to be a one hit wonder. She never told the friend that she was really wasting her time and money and would never even be a one hit wonder. She gave the girl who was singing the demo to listen to in her car. This lady played the song for one of her other friends on the show and that friend told her the beat didn’t work for her.WTF!

When you have friends like this who needs enemies? My circles are very small for good reasons and one is I don’t need or want people around me that will lie to me or just tell me what I want to hear. I know a few people who want people around them just to hype them up. That only feeds you false securities and keeps you from true growth. I would rather a person totally not communicate with me at all, than lie to me. I don’t want to feel good momentarily about what I’m doing I want to be good at it.

Later that night I was talking to a friend on the phone and they pointed out a flaw in me. It made me appreciate them a whole lot more because they were able to give me good examples of me doing it. It really made me feel good to see a flaw, because it gave me something to work on that would make me a better person. It also made me feel good that someone was paying that much attention, because I am the person normally pointing out things and giving advice to so many others. So, this is definitely a friend that I will be keeping in my circle. That showed me that we will be able to help each other grow, not like the one sided friendships I have mostly encountered.

If you haven’t been, start telling your friends the truth. This doesn’t mean you have to be mean to them when doing it. If you are a person that doesn’t receive criticism well, stopped getting defensive and mad at others you are only hurting yourself! We all have things that are wrong with us and need help with them. So chose your friends wisely!! “Just as Iron Sharpens Iron So Should Friends Sharpen the Minds of Each Other”
