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 likely hood of mediocrity. An important attribute in successful people is their impatience with negative thinking and negative acting people. As you grow, your associates will change. Ever heard of the "crab syndrome" the better you do, the more those negative so called friends try to hold you down ? Friends who don't help you climb force you to crawl. This is what I have been thought so consider this:
Never receive counsel from unproductive people, but yet still pray for them.
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'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.
So with all that said here is today's thought:
Wise is the person who fortifies their life with the right friendships.
