Friendships:
It Is Better To Be Alone, Than In The Wrong Company
Tell me who your best friends are, and I will tell you who you are.
"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.
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, your associates will change.
Some of your friends will not want you to go on.
They will want you to stay where they are.
Friends that don't help you climb will watch you crawl. Either your friends
will stretch your vision or choke your dream.
Those that don't increase you will eventually decrease you.
Consider 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 great they are and what a failure you have become.
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's 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. I am truly blessed with the people I choose to surround myself with. If you surround yourself with negative people, then you too will be negative.
Life is too short to waste your time on those who do not care, life is about love and compassion. Surround yourself with the ones who care as much about you as you do about them.
