If you have a brand that is valuable, no one will dare to miss your call. But when people think that you have no impact on their lives, they treat you like trash. A friend who contests an election and wins is a lost friend until they finish their time in office. If someone is richer than you and thinks they don’t need anything from you, your call to them will seem like a disturbance.
If you have a rich person among your family or friends, and they still return your missed calls, they are truly a godsend. Their actions serve as a reminder of the genuine connections that transcend material wealth, highlighting the rarity of those who prioritize relationships over status. In their responsiveness lies the essence of true friendship and familial bonds, enriching our lives in ways that mere affluence cannot.
Having a friend or family member who remains responsive and attentive, regardless of their affluence or societal standing, is indeed a rare blessing. It underscores the depth of their character and the sincerity of their connections, reminding us that true value in relationships transcends material wealth or external markers of success.
May we continue to remain relevant in our lives.
Amen.
