I am sure you are still on your journey to the top, to the North Star, a succsesful destination, where only those who work diligently with their lives and with care are. If you are not on a journey there, and if you not already there, then on which path are you?
If it is not a journey to success then it is either of the following two, at life’s waiting station, or to a destructive destination. There can never be any other. Only those three.
If you are on a destructive path and need advice then please do so. Welcome to the world of the sensible. Waiting station? What are you waiting for? Look around you! The world is in motion, it is roving. People are busy, they are matching variables for success and compatibility, they are negotiating, they are putting two and two togather. Others, as we have seen,are doing the hara-kiri, they are on a path to nowhere!
One of the things that causes uncertainty in our lives is too much advice, or none at all. Some of the confusing advice we get comes from our friends. In the same vein, some of our friends do not give advice at all! These friends, we should ask ourselves, why are they our friends when they have no value to us? Surely you can not just move around with a baggage which has no use to you. What, then, do you do with friends with no use to you? What do they contribute to your journey to the North Star? Introspectively, how do you contribute to your friends’ success? What input do you give to them for them to realise their potential? What value are you to your parents, your children, your girlfriend, husband?
One of the best ways to determine this is in the ability to sift the chaff from the best. It will be advisable for you to sit down with a pen and a paper and get busy with work. In all your life, if you do not deliberatly sit down to map any situation then there is no purpose for you to live.
So sit down and work out who, among the people you know and chill with, among your friends, are of value to you. There are groups of people who have been seen spending, mostly, Sundays together drinking countless bottles of liquor. What good is going on there? If this happens four Sundays in a row then how many man-hours have gone by without profit in the lives of the group?
If you are really a person of substance who is thirsty for success, then you must possess the ability to get rid of people who retard your progress in life. Never allow yourself to be at a waiting station because your friends are still not sure what to do with their lives. Take charge of your life and of the friends you have. If you are not careful, your friends will be meaningless to you and your life will be worthless. Make sure you and your friends are aiming to the top, always! Never have a friend who contributes nothing of value to your course. This, it must be emphasised, extends to all those who are around you.
