Truer words were never spoken. The less you associate with
some people, the more your life will improve. Any time you tolerate mediocrity
in others, it increases your mediocrity.
An important attribute in successful people is their
impatience with negative thinking and negative acting people. As you grow up,
your acquaintance will change.
Some of your friends will not want you to go on. They will
want you to stay where they are. Associate that don’t help you climb will want
you to crawl. Your friends will stretch your vision or choke your dream. Those who
don’t increase you will eventually decrease you.
Contemplate this;
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 first to tell you how. Not everyone
has a right to speak into your life.
You are certain to get the worst of the bargain when you
exchange ideas with the wrong person. Don’t follow anyone who is not going
anywhere.
With some people you spend an evening: with others you
invest it. Be careful where you stop to inquire for directions along the road
of life. Wise is the person who fortifies his life with the right friendships.
If you run with wolves, you will learn how to howl. But, if
you associate with 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 with whom you closely associate – for the good and
the bad.
Note: Be not
mistaken. This is applicable to family as well as friends. Yes…do love
appreciate and be thankful for your family, for they will always be your family
no matter what. Just know that they are human first and though they are family
to you, they may be a friend to someone else and will fit in the criteria
above.
In Prosperity our friends know us. In Adversity we know our companions. Never make someone a priority when you are only an option for them. Keep
your circle small.
If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you
develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception, it is a
prevailing attitude.
Always be there with a solution, avoid being part of the problem.
