Who’s Company You are Always With?
There is an old Hindi phrase in India — Sang Ka Rang, which means, one gets colored by the company one keeps. The company we are around predominantly has a tremendous impact on the quality of our life. You can reflect this in your own life — How did you feel when you were around someone who is very negative in his or her outlook towards life, whereas, how do you feel when you are in the company of someone who is very inspired to pursue their dreams or someone who is highly positive. Recollect how did you feel in either case.
I personally like to hang around with avid learners who are passionate about what they do and work very hard to excel in that. I feel blessed that I have quite a few such people in my life and whenever I talk to them, I come out of the conversation learning something; perhaps an idea, or an inspiration to do something that I had been postponing for a long time. It is truly a blessing to have such people in our lives. Their energy brushes up against ours, leaving us more inspired to do what we ought to do.
As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another
The Bible
When we talk about “company”, it is not just friends and family. There is a subtle aspect of this too. Before you read ahead take a pause and think of this — In whose company am I always with?
