Who are your friends? Your friends can either be a barrier to your destiny or a bridge to your destiny. Your friends can decrease or increase you. When you are among a group of friends that tear you down at your back or talk you out of your dream, you don’t have any business hanging around such friends.
Your friends can either be a blessing to you or a burden. Having friends that don’t contribute anything to your life, but are only there to benefit from you. You will be the one to look for them, they only come to you when they need something from you. Stay away from such friends because they are out to use you for their own selfish interest, meaning they are a hindrance.
Read this article very well, because I am writing this to you, to set you thinking, so that you start taking into consideration the kind of friends you keep. Reflect on your life and your relationship or friendship.
In the book of Proverbs 13:20, ”He who walks with wise men will be wise,
But the companion of fools will be destroyed” It means if you walk with people who support you and believe in you then you are wise and you have chosen your friends wisely. But if you decided to walk among those that tear you down your future might be destroyed. Be wise.
If you also take a look at the book of 1 corinthians 15:33 ” Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits” if you move around negative people it will not be long before they corrupt your good manners. You have to be careful about the people in your life. A lot of people are stuck in life today, nothing is working or moving for them. They are not developing because of wrong friends and relationships.

Work with the right people, people that add value to your life, people that improve your life. Amos 3:3 says ”Two cannot work unless they agreed” it means you cannot be different from those whom you closely associate with. The Bible never tells us to make everybody our friends but told us to love our neighbor as ourselves. I can love you but don’t have to be your friend.
Never work with people that are not going your direction. A relationship is by choice, but love is a must, that means, I can love you but don’t have to make you my friend.
I am writing this article to challenge you, you’ve got to choose your relationship. Choose people that will become a blessing not a burden, people that will add value to your life, people that will be significant and useful to your life.
Conclusion
Be with people who motivate, inspire and positively challenge you. Choose wisely.
