who do you associate with?

Good morning...Read something and i wanted to share and its so true:) "Perhaps you've heard the story of the little bird. He had his wing over his eye and he was crying. The owl said to the bird, "You are crying." "Yes," said the little bird, and he pulled his wing away from his eye. "Oh, I see," said the owl. "You're crying because the big bird pecked out your eye." And the little bird said, "No, I'm not crying because the big bird pecked out my eye. I'm crying because I let him."
It's easy to let influence shape our lives, to let associations determine our direction, to let pressures overwhelm us, and to let tides take us. The big question is, are we letting ourselves become what we wish to become?" Associate yourself with positive people that will lift you up. "You are the average of the 5 people you spend your time with" i have spent many nights losing sleep because really i think to much LOL..maybe its what i assumed, or what they said to me, or what they did ext, and you know what this will hold you back and this will ruin your day and this will prevent you form moving forward. Pray for them and LET IT GO:)
