You need to look at the friendships you have. Are they improving you and encouraging you to achieve your goals, or are they forcing you to make concessions and take the quickest route? You will become like the people you always hang out with. Accept this: “Put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience as the holy and beloved elect of God; being patient with one another and forgiving one another in the event of a dispute; just as Christ forgave you, so must you also.” (Col 3:12-13). That’s it!!!
