Hi guys, good evening! i just wanna share something about what i have learned this Sunday, when i was invited to a convention which showed me good circle of people. Let me tell you some points i have reflected in life.
What is A LIFE GROUP?
- These are group of people you linked to yourself and identify them as immediate friend or partners in life. They are individuals who got to know and understand you so as you are with them.
Why Do we NEED LIFE GROUP?
have you ever remembered the time when you were just a child and you were left alone in your house then suddenly you experienced blackout? So dark that you cannot even see a little speck of light!? Do you still remember the feeling? I believe, you certainly felt afraid, frightened or even wanted to shout, and what was the first thing that comes in your mind? Well, I suppose, "Light" - A Flashlight, true? It is obvious that in case of blackout, we are giving importance to flashlight, where in the first place, we are just taking it for granted. People are really like that, it is maybe in our second nature to act as if we only give importance to something when it is needed or frequently used.
Now, When was the time you actually looked for a friend? think, they did not come to you in an instant. They came due to some reasons or situations. I give you a hint... " NEED". yes! you got your friends because you felt that there was a "need" for you to get friends. Perhaps, you might be alone in the pantry then you felt like you'd like to talk to someone, then suddenly you got someone to talk to and it happened that afterwards he/she became your friend. Just like the Need we have for a flashlight when its dark, we also need friends when we are alone.
Some people think that we actually do not need a friend to live our lives. Friends are just additionals and they are not the main thing. But i disagree on that. Friends are necessities, they are extremely important for a man. They are actually part of the main thing which is you. Friends are like foods, you might think that foods are just secondary but if you don't eat for a month, surely you will die. Alright, for a rule of thumb, one thing is for certain, you do not have a chance to get no friends, they are like shadows of you and they will follow you whether you like it or not.
listed are the some of the reasons why we need a life group?
1. Life Group Makes You Feel Assured.
- Truly, we appreciated the flashlight when its dark. right? We felt the need for a friend when we are alone. As children we scream out in the dark, but try to imagine holding a flashlight with you? how would you rate your fear? but let us do a lot more... What if you had your parents on your side? do you still fear? Having good people on your sides make you feel secured and cared. Instead of being frightened in the dark, you might be playing with the shadows instead. People are like flashlights, they help you see. They help you look better and they actually turn on themselves for you!
It might be blurred to see, but actually all of the people are friends in disguise. We are natural flashlights to others, some of the people uses it frequently but some of the people refuses to turn them on for others. Others may not know that they are flashlights, and sometimes it is sad that others failed to give their lights even once. Do you remember the saying by Oliver Holmes saying " Some People Die with the Music Still in Them", as i relate it, some people who are capable of giving lights but was not able to give it to someone in need, is considered dying. they are turning off even when they have not started turning on.
2. Life Group Gives You Support
- Do you believe that " Two are better than one"? Its a cliche' to ask. it is obvious and clear than when running a race, two feet get the advantage. If you have life group, or friends in life, you will notice that you are receiving greater motivation. Do you remember your teachers in high school when they asked you about individual graded recitation, how fast does your heart beat? But how about when your teacher announced a group activity? you might feel excited instead! right?! Because there, you get invisible support. Try to think when you were playing a blindfold game, imagine when you are walking and no one is giving you instructions? do you mind to actually have a step? But, how about when your friends shouted and instructed you to go straight, or left, right... even when you don't actually see the aim, you still feel confident to walk and give a hit!
As a child, when its dark, you feel stuck on something, you don't actually want to move. you want the blackout to fade into light. When we are alone, we lack vision, we lack imagination, we lack inspiration, but when someone has lighted the flashlight, you feel like running into it, because you know you got support.
3. Life Group Makes you Smarter
- Why smarter, because you tend to understand that you are original and unique. Some people think that they are downgraded or others may think that they are great and that hinders finding good life group. have you observed that most of the time, downgraded people tend to find downgraded friends and great people always look for great friends as well. We look for friends as someone on our level, and we think that friendship is something like a copier machine when in fact it is not.
When you understand a real life group, you tend to appreciate the uniqueness of everyone. You understand that people work on their capacities. let me relate it to the "migratory birds", you might be familiar with the "V" shape they are forming when they fly to a tropical place. They might be flying for months without stop. Their shapes actually has a reason. The bird on the forefront of the "V" shape, has more energy and he can actually break the air resistance for others. Birds on its left and right actually gets lesser air pressure, so the one who are at the end were most probably the youngest of them all. In that case, they have respected their differences and their roles have served based on what they can do.
as a human, we see our friends as our hero, we understand that we see things differently and that makes you and your life group smarter!
