Every time i read or remember the relationship between David and Jonathan, I learn. I learn that for people to step into another level of their lives, they need the right people around them. In life, there are different types of people, with different personalities, different experiences, different backgrounds, and these circumstances whether negative or positive form the person or adults that we eventually become.
Starting a business can be quite scary, full of its own risks. The thought of employing the wrong person,entering into a partnership in business, taking a new job with new people, entering into a new relationship after numerous or even one emotional breakup, or even making a choice as regards marriage.
Everything in life is scary at first — that is why it is said that “Life is a Risk”.
In all the examples above, there is an involvement of people putting their strength and capital (which is not necessarily finances), for its fulfillment. It is important that we go with the right people. Commitment, character, and passion being the most important qualities, these are more important than charisma. The value and content of people can be tested to know what they are made of. Test the quality of people with time.
Many businesses, marriages and even friendships have ended abruptly because one party had expectations the other couldn’t meet, mainly because they were chosen based on the external, but it has been proved over and over by experiences that physical, external and even first impressions are not always right.
Now take out sometime to review the people who make up your “squad”. Are they empowering you to be better or draining you? Can you say you have become a better man, woman, employee, wife or whatever, what kind of advice are they dishing out?
Think about this.
