We are living in a world where everything comes under one form of influence or the other. It is said that “everything is at the state of rest until an external force is applied.” This talks about influence. The direction to which the life of anyone would go will largely depend on the kind of influence that is found in his life. Influence is very crucial in the life of a man, but then it depends on the kind of influence you allow into your life. It is either you allow a productive influence into your life or choose to partner with a destructive influence. You will have to make your choice. It is your circle of influence that will determine how far you will go in life. They will either place limitation on you or help you become great.
A poor man who relates with people of like minds will never relocate from poverty lane to Wealth Avenue, because his circle of friends do not have what it takes to move him there. Remember, he who walks with the wise shall be wise, but he who keeps company with fools shall be destroyed. That is the way the bible puts it. This is talking about the kind of influence you allow into your life. Right influence will propel you to the right direction. Wrong influence will push you into the wrong path.

So, who you choose to relate with holds the key to your productiveness or destructiveness. There are so many young men and women who are trying to come out of certain destructive vices today; drug addiction, stealing, gangsterism, prostitution and so many others, but regrettably they cannot. It all started when a friend initiated them into it. If the truth must be told, it is not everything that you initiate yourself into doing. People don’t just wake up and decide to start smoking. Somebody introduced them into it. It may be directly or indirectly. Relationship is a very powerful tool that will give your life worth. It can shape your world to taste. And it could make you useless and batter your destiny. Good relationship brings personal development. When you relate with one who makes the right input into your life your worth will ultimately multiply. Pursue such relationship that upgrades your self esteem. It is of great importance that you partner wisely to enhance your productivity in life. No one becomes great in the midst of mediocrity.
There is a popular view that “birds of the same feather flock together”, you can choose not to. You reserve the right to say ‘no’ to your league of friends that are running you underground. You can choose to follow the birds that are high flyers, learn their ways and be like them. When you get to relate with the right kind of people in life your will indeed have a productive relationship.
