Did you know that your friends say a lot about you? I’m not referring to what they say behind your back. Who your friends are says much about who you are and where you are going.
Have you heard the saying, “Show me your friends and I’ll show you your future?” It’s so true. You will become like those who you surround yourself with.
I remember back in high school, we were sitting through a Life Skills presentation. The teacher was up on the stage and was trying to pull a student up to their level. However, no matter how strong the teacher was, the student always managed to pull the teacher down to their level. The lesson was that it is much easier for a bad influence to pull you down that it is for you to pull them up.
So what do your friends say about you? Who are you surrounding yourself with? To be successful in life, we should be surrounding ourselves with the following types of friends:
People who have vision
Surround yourself with friends who have a vision and a purpose for their lives.
People who will tell you the truth
Surround yourself with friends who will be honest with you. We all have blind spots, areas of weakness that are evident to everyone but us. It’s important to have friends who will lovingly point these out to us so that we can change and grow.
People who are loyal and kind
Loyalty and kindness are hard to find. In our world today, these qualities are rare. Surround yourself with friends who are loyal and kind. The world needs more people like that.
