"The Company You Keep"....
Eh, tell me who your best friends are, and I will tell you who you are. 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. The simple but true fact of life is that you become like those with whom you closely associate - for the good and the bad.
Sometimes, the less you associate with some folks, the more your life will improve. 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 want you to crawl. Your friends will stretch your vision or choke your dream. Those that don't increase you will eventually decrease you.
REAL TALK (learning this myself):
- 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 fail when you exchange ideas with the wrong person.
- Don't follow anyone who's not going anywhere.
- Be careful where you stop to inquire for directions along the road of life.
