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.
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 with, whether good or 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 you'll notice in successful people is their impatience with negative thinking and negative-acting people. As you grow and mature, your associates will change. Some of your friends will not want you to grow; they will want you to stay stagnant. Friends that don't help you climb will want you to crawl. Your friends will stretch your vision, or they will choke your dream. Those that don't increase you will eventually decrease you.
Consider this: it is unwise to receive counsel from unproductive people. Never discuss your problems with someone incapable of contributing to the solution, because those who never succeed themselves will always be the 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 simply 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.
Happy moments, Praise God
Difficult moments, Seek God
Quiet moments, Worship God
Painful moments, Trust God
Every moment, Thank God
Choose to rise...Don't settle...and go for your dreams!!!
And most of all let God lead you in everything you do.
"Do not ask God to order your footsteps, if you are not willing to move your feet."
