Affirmations:

Technology has changed many aspects of all relationships.
Conversations and language has changed.

Confidentiality has changed.

Tweeting and texting and Facebook have changed everything.
Now we can go on line and post whatever we want about anyone.
Recently I was asked how to create friendships.
Like everything else we want, we must first KNOW what we want.
Some want exclusive time.
Some want a shoulder to cry on.
Some want a place to run to in times of need.
Some want a companion to share movies, dinner, hikes and mutual likes.
Some want to know there is always someone to care and confide in.
Some want a place to vent and complain and get advice and share pain.
Some want to go shopping, party and hang out.
The real question before you go looking is to explore your picture of friendship.
What do you want in your relationships?
We cannot assume anyone has the same picture of friendship, partnership, marriage, neighbor as you do.
We must clarify exactly what we want.
Many know what they don’t want.
Many have failed relationships they don’t want to repeat.
Many can easily tell you their past history and unforgiven hurts.
Most have no picture of words for what they do want.
To have something good, tailor made for you, you must get clear about what it is.
To attract a friend that fits your requirements, you must clarify how it looks and feels for you.
To have a friend in your life that meets your needs, you must be specific and selective.
To create a lasting relationship with anyone, you must consistently meet your own requirements.
As with anything in life we really want, it is our work to create, attract, clarify, and set the stage.
To fill our own wishes, we must envision, desire, trust, prepare, commit, take action and appreciate.
Life is our canvas and drawing board.
We are to practice creating a good life and healthy relationships for ourselves, until we get it right.
I now undo my mis-creations quickly and easily.
I now forgive all mistakes, mine and others.
I now choose to see the blessings and lessons.
I am grateful to be a willing learner and creative Being.
Life works best when we are willing to forgive and choose again quickly and easily.
