The people you let into your inner circle either propel you towards your dream or they steal and rob you of belief that you can live your VISION beyond what you currently 'see'. People are lifters or leaners. They are givers, or they are takers. They are encouragers or thiefs. They're optimistic or negative. They ...are consistent, or they are random. They're reliable or not. They bring healthy, stable emotion or repeat drama. They're other's focused or self centered. They live their values or live by circumstance. They actively 'grow' or they migrate with the world's direction. They stand on principle or perform for approval. They challenge you or nurture mediocrity. Although NONE of us is perfect and saved ONLY by GRACE, people's personalities, choices, lifestyles do 'bleed' into our own; recognizing the need for healthy boundaries, accountability, the Proverbs 'iron sharpens iron' selective friends are a critical advantage over ignoring that there's a difference in the outcome based on WHO you allow to speak into or BE a part of your life. And BEING that 'higher' person for others invites a reciprocation of that into your OWN life! I wanna LIVE like I mean it! BE all that HE has designed. This will not be an accidental pathway or haphazard result. God give me wisdom and discernment for today along my journey, and let me BE for others that person, parent, friend, leader you can use to advance your purpose for us both.
