He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. Proverbs 13:20
Your company can assist or resist you. The people you keep around may destroy your dreams or may help you achieve them.
Consider the story of Joseph and his brothers. The brothers planned to kill him just because he shared his dream with them! (Genesis, 37).
There’s a saying in the Igbo of the chick that watches the mother hen eat. The chick learns from the hen. If you hang around greedy or selfish people, there’s a likelihood you will pick some of their traits. Your company can bring out the best in you or the worst in you.
Some people might be in your boat but may not be traveling to the same destination as you. Don’t let them sink your ship. Assess your company. Remember, an eagle has no business with crows.
Good morning from West Africa.
