What is a friend, anyway? A friend is someone who understands you, and if they don’t, they try to. They want to know what you’re all about and what you need. A friend is somebody who is there for you when they can be, but also sets boundaries when they need to. Many things make someone a good friend, and the definition of what makes a true friendship differs from person to person. Join me and one of my very close friends as we discuss the possible quirks and such of a friendship. 

Everyone at some point has been victim to or a suspect of “cellphone abuse”. Don’t allow yourself to get caught up in that tiny 6 inch screen. There is so much more to life beyond that, you just have to put down your phone to experience it. With smartphones growing to be an integral part of model life, an overuse of smartphone has become epidemic around the world. It negatively affects people’s life with profound implications on mental, physical, and social health and well-being. It is important to bring the public’s awareness to this growing epidemic and to define smartphone overuse as a public health issue. Potential strategies for addressing this issue may be learn from tobacco control, such as health education and health communication, legislation and technical means. In contrast to tobacco control, the aim of public health interventions is not to prohibit smartphone use, but to promote safe, healthful and mindful use. In short, smartphone overuse is an emergent public health issue that demands public health solutions. 

Passion is a feeling of intense enthusiasm towards or compelling desire for someone or something. Don’t allow people to tell you what you are and aren’t passionate about. Be your own passion seeker.

It's with a heavy heart and a broken spirit that I recorded this episode. Despite the severity of the situation and its outcome, certain aspects must be talked about. Be very careful of who you choose to associate your self with on daily basis. People rarely show their true intentions at first glance and turn out to be some very menacing creatures at the end of it all. As a male you don't view other close male friends as "friends", you view them as brothers or 'bros'. In modern terms a 'bro' is someone you can trust with your life….or you should be able to at least. Be very careful who pass the title 'bro' onto. Be very careful who you pass the title friend on to. Be very careful who you allow in your life. Be very careful who you hang around. Be very careful. 

Proverbs 18:24 states "One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother."  Seek this type of friend. Keep this type of friend as close as possible. 

Proverbs 12:26 states "A righteous man is cautious in friendship, but the way of the wicked leads them astray." Pray for those people that you keep close within your life. The devil seeks any open door into your home. Don't give such easy access. The same that you pray for yourself and your family pray for your friends as well. They need your protection just as much as you need theirs.
