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. Think about it, almost all of our sorrows spring out of relationships with the wrong people instead. The less you associate with some people, the more your life will improve, it’s because the people you associate with aren’t worthy to stand on your side besides there are good ones who will stand besides you, support you in any form as long as they can.
In life, if you find yourself taking two steps forward and one step backwards, invariably it’s because you have mixed associations in your life and that’s friends. Remember the most important attribute in most successful people is their impatience with people who think and act negatively. Misery wants your company but you don’t have to let it in the door, instead have self-esteem, confidence, belief, respect for others, faith and trust in God the almighty because he is above all things and with him everything is possible.
We become like those with whom we associate. We need to be very careful of the kind of insulation we use in our lives, we do need to insulate ourselves from negative people, ideas and failures but we should never insulate ourselves from Godly counsel and wisdom, for he can solve all the problems we encounter in life. When you go astray, sit down with your friends, get together make a foundation level then you will see the improvement on your life because I believe they bring out the best in us and influence us to improve. They cause us to have a greater faith and confidence and to see things from God’s perspective. After being with them, our spirits and our sights are raised as they keep advising, encouraging and being Godly.
In life, I found out that it is better to be alone than in the wrong company. A single conversation with the right person can be more valuable than years of study. When you surround yourself with the right kind of people, you enter the God oriented power of agreement. Remember in the eyes of average people, average is always considered outstanding. Look carefully at your closest associations, because it’s an indication of the direction you are heading to.
Lastly but not list, two can accomplish more than twice as much as one, for the results can be much better. If one falls, the other pulls him up but if a man falls when he is alone, he is in trouble and one standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back to back and conquer, three is even better, for a triple braided cord is not easily broken. Two heads are always better than one therefore a friend in need is a friend indeed.
