Oprah Winfrey has had much to say about many things, but this statement stays with me: “Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.” Loyalty means being true to an idea, a person, a cause or duty. Do people spend time with you because they care about you or because they want something? You’ll find out during the hard times. It’s easy to spot a loyal friend or coworker. Notice who’s still encouraging you and lending a helping hand when you’re in a tough spot. Notice who stops calling and is too busy to give support. During difficult times, not everyone has the energy and resources to be there for others. It’s true that if you care enough about a person, you’ll do what it takes to offer support. But sometimes it isn’t that easy. You have challenges in your life, too, probably more than you can deal with. You can decide who’s important in your life, and you can make a commitment to be loyal. Whether family, friends or work associates, if you’re genuinely concerned about their welfare, you’ll “be there” for them. You’ll stick by them through thick and thin. You’d want them to do the same for you, too, right?
