Every human being is important on earth and to some people to a certain extend. Never look down on anyone, respect every human being and love them. We were commanded to love others and we must do as the world can only be a better place if we love one another.
Agape love is universal but it doesn’t necessarily mean that you should associate yourself with everyone. You have to decide on the kind of people you will put in your inner circle. It is a conscious decision that you will have to make considering the fact that you know who you are and what you want to be.
Everybody has a dream and it takes the support of people for you to actualize that dream. You have to associate yourself with people who have the same ambition and drive for success as yours. Surround yourself with people who help you build your life, your legacy.
Some people could be really smart and seem useful to you but maybe the case is different. Here are some traits to look out for in people who want to be closer to you or whom you maybe considering bringing them closer into your inner circle.
PEOPLE WHO ALWAYS WANT TO GET FROM YOU BUT NEVER GIVE TO YOU.
There are people who come into your life or who just get close to you for what they can gain from you. If you are in better financial position than them then they want to help you spend your money. You help them but they never help you when you need them to.
PEOPLE WHO ARE NEVER THERE FOR YOU.
Some people are like place holders in your life. They contribute nothing to your life but they are there. You invite them to a party; they don’t show up. All they do is give excuses. You need them around during a storm, they are not available. They usually take nothing from you also.
THOSE WHO PRETEND TO BE WHO AND WHAT THEY ARE NOT.
This kind of people give you unnecessary pressure. You will end up feeling like you are not good enough or you are not doing enough. They pretend to have everything in their life under control yet they are struggling a lot. Usually, these people always ask for things from you, promising to pay back.
PEOPLE WITHOUT A CLEAR VISION.
If someone does not have a vision, or a goal then you can’t associate yourself with him or her. People like that spend most of their time doing unproductive things. You may end up being like them. It always looks like they are living a stress-free life and may kill your ambition. Focus on your goals.
PEOPLE WITH A CRIMINAL MIND.
If someone is always looking for the easiest way out, he or she is most likely to get things done in wrong ways. They can steal, they can deceive people to get what they want. Stay away from those kinds of people and work hard for what you want. These people can even hurt their loved ones so you won’t be an exception especially if you are doing better than them.
THE JEALOUSY TYPE.
Even the Bible says jealousy is dangerous, more dangerous than anger. A jealousy person can pull you down with a smiling face. By the time you realize it, you will be a fallen hero already. Jealousy people will always make sure you put them closer such that they can influence your decision making. They will tell you bad things about other people so that they remain the only trusted ones. Be careful.
PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT BUSINESS MINDED.
You need to spend time with sharp minds so you can learn one or two things on a daily basis or every now and then. People who are not business minded can not help you to improve in what you are doing. Rather they will teach you how to spend more than you earn. Your circle of friends should be with people who are always planning on getting to the next level.
AVOID PEOPLE WHO ARE ALWAYS CURIOUS ABOUT YOUR PRIVATE LIFE.
Let’s call them monitoring spirits. These people want to know every little detail about you. They want to know what is going on in your life from your finances to your love life. Never let people know too much about you because people use what they know about you to get you down, to destroy you.
In conclusion, bad company corrupts good character. Play with people who inspire you to be better. People who bring out the best you. You can’t change a human being, so choose your friends wisely. Keep in mind that bad things always look good and classy while the road to success is bumpy. Stay focused and mind who you put in your inner circle.
Avoid trusting people with your crucial information. Remember your family members can be threats too to your success. So, the fact that they are related to you by blood should not qualify them to be your closest.
