Be Deliberate About Your Association

Proverbs13:20 "Whoever keeps company with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools suffers harm".ISV

Point to ponder on: Take note that you are influenced by people around you--you cannot run with chickens and soar with eagles.

Growing up, I associated with some older brothers in the church mass choir whose lifestyle and conversations were immoral. I was at the right place but in a wrong association. They had influence on my mind but thanks to God for His guidance, and also for my parents and my elder brother for being  godly role models for me. We become the company we keep.

Beloved, take note that the community that surrounds us has more influence on us to succeed or fail than the house we consider as a home to return to daily. The reason being that we spend more time in this community than we do at home. Our home is more like a resting place and the next morning we continue the routine. Therefore, to get the best of our community is to get around people in our neighbourhood or a virtual community who are committed to excellence and moving in the same direction in line with their goals in order to develop a fulfilling and encouraging lifestyle.

Environment influences the result we produce. We will develop the lifestyle of a winner simply by associating with those who are what we want to become.

Good morning. Enjoy a delightful weekend.

I celebrate you.

David, Johnson.
