Intentionally Selecting My Relationship
Recently I've been trying the study the successes of people, was it via hardwork alone, was it base on luck, or was it a combination of one or two things, no matter what it is, I'll really like to know so I can work on it for myself. No long thence I realize the were all closely arranged together. The wealthy people of a certain environment or location are most likely to know each other, infact prior to their wealth is a long history you may never know if you weren't told, men are the ladders for other men to climb, we may be doing it all wrong if we are trying to achieve it all by our strengths and powers, we need more than our strengths can offer, we need support.
You grow best when you're placed in an environment of growth, same way the plants grow when they are being planted in a good soil, the environment is great and so it affluence the seedlings to grow better than others planted in less suitable soil. Similarly so many people have experienced real growth just cause of their placement to the right environment, not just financially, they also have grown in other areas such as mentally, some spiritually, some physically especially when they meet others who regularly visit the gym, the right placement does a lot in a human life.
The environment doesn't gain influence because it's a fine location, rather the occupants determine the respect and attention given to the place. Already we have seen environments that are not palatable for living, frequently flooded or smelling having higher value in price compared to better living conditions places all because of the calibers of people that have chosen to stay there and what they have done to the place in recent things, things they have brought to the place that cannot be found in anywhere else, so the people are the main determinate.
With all these I'm gradually beginning to careful become intentional about my association and relationships, however it wouldn't be easy too, but it's worth the try. I guess the main issues are in getting the good ones, entering into a relationship or friendship with the sole aim of financial increase would often prove fruitless and it's a trap, a trap to catch the greedy. It's more like getting to know a farmer so he could always be giving you food, instead of trying to know how he got to be such a farmer so you too can. Something made them great, that's worth knowing, not going in to be a pest, no one like pest.
You also don't like people that come to take, take and keep taking, even if you're so religious and you feel like keeping quiet would make God happy, you'll soon realize it too much and try to stop it. No matter how in need we are, let's ensure we are trying not to push help as our basis factor, if people sense that you constantly in need, they tend to withdraw, so set priorities right especially when dealing with people and most especially when dealing with the high standers in the society, those guys have seen enough and are gradually losing conscience to draw people near, they can cut off anyone and not feel a thing, even an old friend.
Intentional about my relationship, not just marital relationships, friendship, just casual pals, infact my relationship with everyone, cause truthfully we as humans are all blinded to the future except you were specially reveal to by God, but judging from our intellectual perspective we can never tell who would be rising and taking up great positions, we can only try by following our hearts and following smartly. One of the best ways to go by is what the bible says, and I quote "Follow peace with all men" these is good as much as safe, just incase so you don't shut the door on yourself tomorrow.
We need the right niche to survive better, the better niche is that environment filled with the right people and personalities, no matter how much of an introvert you are, there would always be people that know you and like you, even when you don't go people, there are possibilities of people coming to meet you, so at least be in the right place filled with what you want so by that the possibilities of attracting what you need is higher and may most likely come. Growth is always an intentional process, our actions determine our growth level, association is one sure way to growth.
Nevertheless it's worth to note that some persons would bring nothing but decrease to you, follow peace with all men doesnt mean draw all men close, we would be in trouble if we smile with everyone, some people are better off as strangers however you are at peace with them, ensure there's no trouble between you both but still not friendship, they bring trouble cause of their lifestyle and mindset. All these are no reasons to fight with someone, should there be a fight, try to settle it afterwards stay as strangers, you know it's the best thing to do. Discerning what a person brings to the table would help us a great deal, so that in our quest for useful association, we don't end associating with those who would make us lose the few we had.
