You have to be selective with whom you give your time, energy, and attention. If you'll put yourself in an environment with friends that challenge and inspire you, with people that push you up, then those seeds will take root, and you will begin to blossom.
Your destiny is too great to waste it with people that are not adding value to your life. You need to pull up some weeds. Get rid of some thorns. Their negativity is contaminating your soil.
We’re not going to understand everything that happens. God can see the end from the beginning. Sometimes, He has to take you backward to go forward. He has to dig down deep so He can get you prepared for how high He’s taking you.
The scripture says that when you walk in obedience, God’s blessings will chase you down and overtake you. God will make things happen that you couldn’t make happen.
Sometimes, you can outgrow your friends. They blessed you, and you blessed them, but it’s a new day. God wants to take you further. You have to recognize when their part in your story is over.
You’ve been blessed. Now, go be a blessing. You’ve overcome that addiction; help someone else overcome. You’ve been promoted; help someone else be promoted. Give away what you’ve been given.
Life is too short to waste your valuable time with the wrong people. To reach your highest potential, you have to surround yourself with eagles, with people that push you forward, people that make you better, people that help you to soar.
