Relationships...


If you find yourself taking two steps forward and one step backwards, invariably it's because you have mixed associations in your life. Choose your association carefully. The less you associate with some people, the more your life will improve. 

The simple but true fact of life is that you become like those with whom you closely associate with - for the good and bad. A mirror reflects a man's face, but what he is really like is shown by the kind of friends he chooses. 

Our lives can never be better than the quality of friends we chose. This is a law of life. Your choice of friend should be made, based, and motivated by similarities of visions and values. Your relationships will influence your future. 

They're are 3 levels of relationships that we have in life: relationships with those above us, relationships with our mates or peers, and relationships with those below us that we're helping to grow. Focus more on the first and last levels. 

The more you hang out with those higher than you, the higher you go. The more you help those below you to succeed - because of the unfailing law of sowing and reaping - the more you attract oppurtunities and people to your life that help you grow and succeed as well. 

The quality of your friends has a direct relationships with the quality of your life because in life, you are either getting better or getting worse depending on your relationships. To make friend become friendly, to find a true friend, first become one. Like the most other life decisions, quality is better than quantity. 

Choose your relationships with good judgement, choose with excellence.

The Obstacles in Our Way

In ancient times, a king had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king’s wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the big stone out of the way. Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. On approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. As the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the king indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many others never understand. Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve one’s condition.

Never Chase A Lie

Broken promises cause the world's greatest accidents. You can't make wrong work. Honesty is the first chapter of the book of wisdom. Never chase a lie: if you leave it alone, it will run itself to death. Everything you add to the truth, you inevitably subtract from it.  A lie will add to your troubles, subtract from your energy, multiply your difficulties and divide your effectiveness. Never view anything positively that makes you break your word. Make your word your bond. 

Get Caught Dreaming...

Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple and learn how to handle them and pretty soon, you get a dozen. You'll get more out of every part of your life, if you stay incurably curious.  Get caught dreaming. It's never too late for you to start thinking more creatively. Unfortunately, dreams are the first casualty in life - people seems to give them up quicker than anything for reality. The important thing is to not stop questioning. Never loose a holy curiosity!
