       It’s also true that “birds of the same feather flock together.” Generally speaking, the kind of people we choose to be around and have as friends are usually relatively similar to us. That’s why we are friends in the first place. The people at our church then are generally like us. So, as you advance and become a better person, there may come the realization that you need to change out your friends to new friends. Sounds a little harsh, doesn’t it? But it’s the truth. You cannot continue to keep company with people who will drag you down. If you do, the advancements that you’ve made in your own character can’t flourish. They will eventually die due to a lack of water. We cannot always control the kind of people we are around. This is especially true when discussing the workplace. Sometimes you’ll find that you are around people that drag you down, that are too cumbersome. If this is the case, how much more is it important that any friends you have outside of work, and those at your church, are on the more positive side of things? It may come to the point that you need to change where you work.
