Hello i am here today to write and share about some of the lessons that life has taught me over the years and some of the philosophies that define me and that i live by.I am not here to tell anybody how to live life or what decisions to make.Everybody charts there own path. I simply just expressing some of the knowledge that life has given me and if by me writing this post will open some ones eyes or if they learn something from my post then i would have made a small contribution in the world.Thank You and Enjoy!!! In the road of life you will face many obstacles and will be faced with many decisions but the one thing i have learned that even the small decisions especially if there are the wrong one"s can adversely affect your life and the path you take.
FRIENDS:Be very careful about who you open your life,thoughts and aspirations with.Be careful where you stop to inquire for directions on the road of life as the old saying goes.I had an old friend tell me once that the individuals you make friends with will tell you alot about who you are as a person.As most friends that people make tend to have the same if not some of the qualities that you have as if they didn't then you couldn't identify with them.When you look deeper and closer into your life you will grow to realize that to some extent you become a mirror image of the individuals that surround you for the better or for the worse. Your friends can stretch your vision or choke your dreams.Never seek guidance from unproductive people or someone incapable of enriching you or contributing to your life.Individuals who don't succeed in life are always the first to tell you how and where.
As you grow and as you climb the ladder of life some of your friends seeing you succeed where they have failed or gave up hope in will not want you to continue to climb but to stay where you are at and in some instances will try to manipulate your thinking using there position as a close friend to there advantage.I always say if you tolerate mediocrity in the people you associate with you yourself run the risk of becoming mediocre.Always remember just because there your friends don't mean that gives them the right to speak on your life or tell you how to live it.Always follow your own path as you and only you know where you want to go in life and only you know what you want your destiny to be.Some friends you keep for awhile but the ones who enrich you and lifts your spirits, and who helps you grow as a person those friends you keep for a lifetime.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.Those words where spoken to me long ago but still ring true to this day and something that i truly believe in and live by.
