Loyalty.. What exactly is loyalty? The definition of loyalty is: The state or quality of being loyal ie; a feeling or attitude of devoted attachment.
In my opinion qualities of being loyal are:
* Trueness
* Faithfulness
* fidelty
Loyalty is huge in my book. staying true, being honest. I am a very loyal and trustworthy person and I feel if I am loyal and honest towards you, I deserve the same exact respect. But I have had to learn in my lifetime everyone doesn't have my best interest at heart. Everyone isn't me. I have had a couple failed long term friendships that are now deceased, some of which I was being loyal towards them and certain situations arised where I am no longer friends with certain people and now no longer friends with whom I broke my neck to be loyal towards. Talk about a slap in the face. But as I got older I learned from that. But even with that said I still am a very trusting person so if I befriend you it must mean something to me. and I again had to learn the hard way with more friendships and relationships, in result of all this I was becoming a angry person, bitter even and just wasn't myself.
Someone once told me for every minute you stay angry with someone, you lose 60 seconds of happiness that you can't get back.
I couldn't agree more because when your angry with someone it only seems to only hurt you in the long run. Anger is a natural feeling, there are people in this world who do things that make you angry. The point is what do you do with the angry feelings? Examine your feelings, why am I so angry? What can I learn from this? What do I need to do to make this anger into something positive. We should never ignore our feelings or the situation that brought them about. But we can change our actions, and work thru to happiness.
Sometimes people hang on to certain things because of their loyalty to that person but I have learned that you have to do what is best for you and always stay true to you . If walking away is something you have to do in order to do so then walk away.. let it go.. letting go doesnt necessarily mean you are weak it just means that you were strong enough to let something that is no longer good for you go.
Always remain loyal to yourself first and foremost before trying to be loyal to the next person!
Til next time
