The Inspirer’s Friends

The Inspirer knows her friends. Some of her friends are Inspirers, too, some are Defenders, some are Visionaries, while others have not yet discovered their true calling.

Nevertheless, they remain true to each other and they help one another grow. They do not dwell on useless flatteries, but neither do they withhold the words that affirm and strengthen one another.

There are times when the Inspirer gets hurt by those whom she trusts. She feels that her friendship had not been valued, that it had been used for some selfish end. Though she immediately resolves to forgive such a person, she knows that healing the grief it caused would take time, much time.

And more than the grief, the TRUST would take much longer to regain, if it could ever be regained in a lifetime. It isn’t only love that builds a friendship, it is trust as well.

Have you ever felt that your trust had been betrayed?  What lessons have you learned in the process?
