Having a few relationships that are worth it is way better than heaping up loads of people into our lives. You do not need a lot of friends before you can make real headway in life.
Our friends are a big influence on us, they often have much more influence over us than we would ever want to admit. The more we hang out with them – either in person or online – the more we start becoming like them.
And besides over time, as people change, so does their contributions into our life. Some friends keep evolving positively over time, becoming better and better, while some other friends may take a plunge for the worse. While it is your responsibility to be a positive influence on your friends and try to make them better people, you cannot expect to change everyone.
The principle I adopt, I have tagged (and patented) as NO PERMAFRIEND.
I don’t have permanent friendships and relationships. What I have are permanent principles and that’s why people come and go in my life because I just won’t compromise or break my principles.
All I do is to keep my eyes on the God-given vision and keep confessing His promises to Me… I’m sure that I’ll get there, it is those that will be by my side when I do that I don’t know (or even bother about)
