The Company You keep


The friends you choose reflect the kind of person you really are.. If you run with wolves, you will learn to howl. But if associate with the eagles, you will learn how to soar to great heights. "A mirror reflects a man's face, but what he is really like is shown by the kind of friends he chooses". The simple but true fact of life is that you become like those whom you closely associate-for the good or bad.

The less you associate with some people, the more your life will improve. Anytime you tolerate mediocrity in others, it increases your mediocrity. An important attribute in successful people is their impatience with negative thinking and pessimism. As you grow, your friends will change. Some of them will not want you to go on. They will want you to stay where they are. Friends that don't help you climb will want you to crawl. Your friends will help you shape and achieve you dreams or choke your vision. Those that don't increase will eventually decrease you

Remember:
Never receive counsel from unproductive people.
Never discuss your problems with someone incapable of contributing to the solution, because those who never succeed themselves are always the first ones to tell you how.
Not everyone has a right to speak into your life. You will get the worse of the bargain when you exchange ideas with the wrong person.
Don't follow anyone who's not going anywhere.
With some people you spent an evening, with others, you invest in it.
Be careful where you stop and inquire for directions along the road of life.
Wise is the person who fortifies his life with the right friendship.

Happy Moments? Praise God
Difficult Moments? Seek God
Quiet Moments? Worship God
Painful Moments? Trust God
Every Moment? Thank God
