I dont know where this wisdom came from, my angels lead me to this, I hope it helps .


The Company You Keep

It Is Better To Be Alone, Than In The Wrong Company.
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 mans 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.
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 in successful people is their impatience with
negative thinking and negative acting people. <
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.

Consider This:
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 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 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
If you see people without a smile today, give them one of yours.
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

Very meaningful work of art in this post. It is great to know that others think like you do, and have added more value to the lives of others with great words of inspiration. I would really like to share these same words with so many that I know who would definitely be uplifted and benefited!

Thanks for sharing and caring!

Thanx so much for sharing,this is AWESOME!!
thank all of you of the kind words, i am learning how to navigated this site.
Yesterday the man that I think I love lied to me. I once again made a decision to leave him alone. The difference this time is I finally let go. He has lied before. I would usually curse his soul, and talk about him is negative terms. However, yesterday I simply let go. I did not feel defeated, but I finally got it.. To curse him was to curse myself. To talk about his limitations, placed self-imposed limits on me, but most importantly when you let someone mistreat you, you are committing a form of long suffering suicide. How could I give my life for someone who showed so little regard for living? People who lie and hurt others are in some very bad place. I though about a letter that Erma Bombeck wrote after she found that she was dying of cancer. It was a letter to herself, saying how she would have done things differently in her life, as rich and as fulfilling as it may have been. My mantra today is if I was given one day to live what would my priorities be? I am going to write myself a letter tonight when I get home, listing what I would do from this moment forward, if given a chance, and than I will simply do it. I can guarantee you I would not be worrying about the man that has wrong me, and I would start forgiving myself for the wrongs I has committed. I would fight like hell to live to the fullest.

What are we waiting for?
Great thoughts, simple but soooo true. Thanks for reminding us , we need to builded up not down.......
Dear Deborah,
