God , Good books and Good friends....The ideal life
Hello and welcome to a topic I have tilted "God, good books and Good friends", the ideal life. Several people with wisdom have come to terms with the fact that the combination of the three;
- God
- Good friends
- Good books , are the best combination for you to have the best life you can ask for. A lot of people get it wrong when they don't this combination complete. Some people do have the last two and forget about the first one while others have the 1st and 3rd and mix it with bad friends and make them living their lives in cycles. But believe me that when you get this right, life becomes very easy for you and you grow in every aspect of life. Let's see them separately
God
Hardly can you see anyone who puts God on all that he/she does and suffers or live in regrets. It is usually a life of peace,joy and abundance. The Bible said we should learn to commit our ways unto God and He will direct our paths. This means that we got nothing to be afraid of when we have God with us. This is because nobody can ever be against us so long as God is backing us up. We are Gods children and His only desire is to see us come closer to Him and have a cordial relationship with Him. He never wants to be far from us and we should also consider to be closer to Him because He loves us and it is for our benefit he does whatever He does or makes whatever decision makes . Why don't we give Him the opportunity to take complete charge of our lives??. If you ask me, that's just about the best option we have. So let's take advantage of it because this is why He craves for.

An old adage says "Show me who you mingle with and I will tell you who you are". This goes a long way to show that the kind of people that you spend your time with determines the way you act and think most times. Trust me , no matter how you argue it, it just turns out that way. If you want to get something out of life, it is a nice step in the right direction to select your circle properly. You have to choose the people you mingle/associate with. How should you do this???. You simply choose people that have the same mindset as you. People who will push you to and pass your limit to be successful. You got to learn discard friends who are unreasonable and negative. You cannot afford to put a dent to your progress in life by associating with the wrong set of individuals. Good friends guide each other, advice each other, give each other good information that can change their lives and so on. Yea these are the kind of people you should spend time with. Now after you have chosen your friends carefully, then you've got to finally work on the last part titled "Good books".

Black men have often been made jest of. There is a saying that says if you want to hide anything from black man, probably hide it in a book. Well as funny as this may seem, it is quite true 80% of the time. Black men don't have time to read or should I say not give time to studying or reading. One good thing to note is that you don't need to be in the four walls of a school before you can read. It is one very big mistake humans make. However not to be mistaken, good books are prerequisite for a well balanced and successful life. A lot of knowledge is hidden in books that we need to find out about. It only requires of us to sit our ass down and consume those books in the shelf. A lot of people have passed through the road we are currently passing through and they have documented them. You won't find them if you don't study the books. Search for books, build a library in your home and make it an habit to study books using the word of God as your starting point and you will find out that life is going as planned.
That's the much I can take on the topic "God, good friends and good books...the ideal life". The combination of these three is what we need to get out there and succeed.
I wish you good luck in your endeavours.
