How to predict your destiny
There
is a popular saying that goes “show me your friend and I will tell you who you
are” and the other one is “your life will be determined by the friends you keep
and the books you read.” If you agree with these statements then it will be of almost importance to you to run a FES “friend’s evaluation scan” to know the
kind of friends you keep so that you can appropriately determine your
destination in life.
My friend is the one who brings out the
best in me- Henry Ford
Friends
can actually make or mar your destiny without you knowing or seeing the instant
direct effect on your life. Close friends shares the same ideology and they
cultivate the same believe system which over time forms your mindset and
outlook towards life. That’s why you must look beyond niceness or generosity to
choose a friend. Some things you must know before bonding in close friendship
with anybody are;
What is
his /her value system (the things they take at high regard?)
What is
his/her believe about life in general (is life just about making money by all
means or having fun no matter what?)
Be slow to fall into friendship but when you are in, continue firm and constant- Socrates
Jesus
made a statement that is so important in running a quick check or scan when you
are about to make a decision regarding friendship, he said “by their fruit you
shall know them.” Because no good tree brings forth bad fruit neither does a
bad tree bring forth good fruit.
True
friendship must face in the same direction toward common projects, interest and
goals.
Choose
wisely.
To your
success!
