A true friend will help you take two steps forward for every step backward that you take.
The thought behind the quote
"Have you ever felt like that for every one step forward, you take two steps backward? I think every one feels this way from time to time. You feel like you're moving forward and then you have a major set back.
A Bulgarian proverb says, ""If you find yourself taking one step forward and two steps backward, invariably it's because you have mixed associations in your life.""
A true friend will help you take two steps forward when you have taken one step backward because they are walking with you. You are not alone in your back sliding. With a true friend, you have someone walking with you into your future and not moving backward toward your past."
