Do you believe that the people you surround yourself with will determine the course of your life? Look around. You will see people grouped together by status, interests, activities, and many other criteria. As a civilization, we congregate towards people who share our own beliefs, aspirations, desires, and wants.
Your Connections Determine Who We Are
I’m not talking about the family or community you’re born with. That’s out of your control. You can be born rich or poor. It’s not your fault.
BUT where you go from there is entirely up to you.
From the moment we can be free of our parents, we are the ones making our choices about the people we surround ourselves with. Do we associate with the good crowd or the bad one? Do we surround ourselves with inspiring & positive influence or the opposite?
We are the ones who shape our own character. We can be born into a bad community, but it’s still our choice to get out of it and form new connections that will change our story.
Your Connections Determine Your Story
How our lives will unfold is highly dependent on the crowd we belong to.
Be associated with ambitious and goal-driven people. Pretty soon, you’ll start realizing your own dreams. Surround yourself with lazy and mediocre individuals; and soon, you’ll lose your passion and be content with whatever life throws at you.
Let’s check ourselves. Are we connecting with the people who will bring us a better life?
Change Your Connections. Change Your Life.
If you think the people around you are pulling you down, then go ahead and change them. You don’t have to be stuck with the set of people you have now. We live in a globally interconnected world.
Want to be a programmer? Connect with them on social media. Want to be entrepreneurial? Connect with business-minded people.
You don’t have to be stuck in a bad life just because your surroundings are bad. You can change that.
Walk with the wise and become wise. Associate with fools and get in trouble.
Proverbs 13:2-
