Sometimes all you need is one good friend to make your problems disappear.

No matter how independent you are, or how tough you are, it is always nice to be able to call a friend to help you out once and a while. One good friend can lighten your load and pick you up when you’re feeling down.

While you may be able to fight your battles alone, it is still nice to have a friend who you know will have you back when you need him. And have no doubts about it, friends like this are few and far between. Most so-called friends are more than willing to come around during the good times, but somehow they always seem busy when it comes time to deal with the wolf at the door.

We all need a helping hand now and then. Sometimes, all you need is one good friend to make your problems disappear. I can assure you that the right kind of friend can do just that. If you have a friend that always has your back, you have a formidable ally that you can count on.

I will give you a quick example. An internet troll in Montana, a so-called 6thdegree black belt, was harassing me and a well-known, older Master on Facebook. It was causing the Master stress that he didn’t need. One of his students (who is someone that you absolutely don’t want to mess with) in a different part of the country got wind of what was happening, and called me to see if I happened to have a phone number for the pathetic little troll.

Well, it just so happened that I did, as I had personally called him and put him in his place a few weeks early, so I gave him the phone number. He called me back later that night and said that he called the guy up and let him know what would happen if he ever messed with his teacher again.

Then he told me that this martial arts troll boy, who claims to be a 6thdan, and whose name I won’t mention, first denied doing anything. The master’s student then interrupted his BS story and said, “I don’t care! If you ever mess with my instructor again, you will get a knock on your door one night, and nobody will ever see you again. The big, bad, so-called “6th degree black belt” then started CRYING on the telephone and apologized.

Guess what. He never hassled his instructor again! The moral of this story — sometimes, all you need is one good friend to make your problems disappear. It is good to have a friend with the spirit of the dragon, and the skills to go with it! Warrior up!
