It's so important for you to get around people who will stir up those seeds of greatness. Don't surround yourself with naysayers. Life is too short to hang around negative, critical, cynical, skeptical, judgmental, small-minded, jealous people. . . . Did I leave out anything?

Who you associate with makes a difference in how far you go in life.

You need to associate with people that inspire you, people that challenge you to rise higher, people that make you better. Don't waste your valuable time with people that are not adding to your growth. Your destiny is too important.

You don't need everyone to be for you; you just need the right people to be for you. God has already ordained divine connections that will help you fulfill your purpose.

Does your vision increase around your friends or does it decrease? Do you leave motivated, challenged, or are you discouraged, drained? Not every friend will inspire you, but you should have one or two that light a fire on the inside, that push you forward.

I used to think life could be shared with anyone, but now I know choosing the right people is pretty important.

My dad is a good role model for me, and then I had a high school coach that really helped me out when I was struggling and made a big difference in my life.
