WHO ARE YOU WALKING WITH........??

There is nothing wrong in walking.The difference comes on whom you are walking with.It is in who we walk with that our lives are so different.Some people are successful and prosperous because of the people they walk with.Some are poor,in bad health,in financial crisis you name it because of the people they walk with.Some people have done well in school and college,whilst others have achieved nothing at all as a result of the people they are walking with.It is imperative that we are mindful of who we walk with all the time.The environment we are exposed to most of our time influences the behaviors as well as patterns of how we do things.Almost 80% of what we do most of the time is influenced by our environment and our friend,colleagues and family occupy the majority of this time.

Although I am not trying to be more religious here,but this scripture from the Holy Bible inspired me to write this article,
PSALMS 1v1-3.For those who don't have bibles it says,.."Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,nor stand in the way of sinners,nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.But his delight is in the law of The Lord;and in his law doth he meditate day and night.And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,that bringeth forth his fruit in his season;his leaf also shall not wither;and whatsoever me doeth shall PROSPER..."

Consider carefully whether people you are walking with bring value as you journey with them whichever direction you are hearding.Are you walking with the dreamers,the believers,the courageous,the cheerfull,the strategic planners,the doers,the motivated,the successful or you are walking with the doubtful,the fearful,and the back benchers,e.t.c....?or you are not walking at all...?

Take a second and look closely around you to see who you are walking with..

DON'T STOP,FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS....!

The question for each man to settle is not what he would do if he had means, time, influence and educational advantages; the question is what he will do with the things he has. The moment a young man ceases to dream or to bemoan his lack of opportunities and resolutely looks his conditions in the face, and resolves to change them, he lays the corner-stone of a solid and honorable success.
-Hamilton Wright Mabie

We should never have excuses or blame situations and circumstances for not being the best we have always envisioned to be.The external environment will never change all for your sake,but rather your inner self can change for the sake of the external environment,and when the inner self changes,we become adaptable and this results in synchronization to the environment and our extinction is not guaranteed,but rather our survival.

It is only when we have the right MOTIVES that we are best adaptable to change...!!
