Is it better to be alone, than in the wrong company?
Your friends are likely to determine who you are or will become. If you run with wolves, you will learn to howl. Associate with eagles, you will learn to soar to great heights. A mirror reveals a person's outer appearance, while true revelation is shown by the company they keep.
A simple but true fact of life is that you become like those you closely associate with, whether good or bad. The more you decline to be in association with some people, the more your life will improve. The acceptance of mediocrity in the lives of others will escalate mediocrity in your life. To be a successful strive for excellence, not mediocrity.
As your life evolves, your acquaintances will change and so will your friends. Some past associates are not willing to climb to the heights you aspire to go. They seem to exhibit that crab in a barrel syndrome, as you progress, they crawl through life wanting to pull you down. True friends will stretch your vision not choke your dreams. Choose your friends wisely.
Consider This:
· Never receive counsel from unproductive people
· Never discuss your problems with someone incapable of contributing to the solution you are certain to get the worst of the bargain when you exchange ideas with the wrong person
· Those who never succeed themselves are always first to tell you how
· Not everyone has a right to speak into your life.
· Don't follow anyone who's not going anywhere.
· With some people, you spend an evening: with others, you invest for a lifetime of success.
· Be careful where you stop to acquire directions
· Be careful whose company you find yourself in
A wise person fortifies his life with true friendships. If you see people without a smile today, give them one of yours.
First and foremost, allow God to lead you in everything you do....
