Hello steemians, Happy Saturday. 

It's yet another weekend and this week has been one of the busiest ones for  me. I had a lot of offline activities to handle. I also had issues I  couldn't handle alone as well, but all thanks to my worthy friends. 

When  people keep emphasizing on the need to keep good company, some of you  may not understand its importance. The benefits of having good people  around you are overwhelming. 

For a very long  time, I have known that forming an alliance with people who value you  and those who positively impact in your life is important, so I live by  that principle. 

I hear a lot of people say  "good friends are nowhere to be found" and I keep wondering why they  could not find good people to make their friends.

When  people meet me for the first time, they think I have not been through  any of life's troubles...... However that's far from the truth.....I've been through hard times, but I have been able to overcome because of people around me. 

Benefits of keeping good company 

   “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”….. Jim Rohn.  

When  I say good people, I don't mean Saints, so don't go out there looking  for people who have no flaws, cos I don't think you'll ever find such people on this planet. You ain't a saint either. What I mean here is having people who motivate you to be a better than you were yesterday, Inspire you to achieve your goals and help you when you are in need. 

• Keeping good company helps you achieve your goals faster and easier. 
• They tell you your mistakes and help you make amends where needed. 
• They inspire you to do more. 
• They help you feel less stressed.
• They make you feel better about yourself. 
  

Fact you should know 

It  is very important to acknowledge the fact that "like attracts like". You have to check if you are good to others before you start looking for people who will be nice to you. Learn to treat others how you will want  to be treated. 

My online friends are as worthy  as my offline friends. I have facebook friends who have done great  things in my life. Joining to steemit was like joining another blissful world. 

My steemit friends and helpers; lovely people like no other 

Steemit  is just like a different world inside this cruel world to me. My journey here has been one of bliss and favour. The first time I had an issue that I shared on my blog here, Hive account@demotruk and Hive account@infovore made sure everything was solved. Their selfless sacrifices is something that will remain in my heart forever. 

Hive account@gavvet and Hive account@infovore have remained one of my backbones here. My Nigerian bro and the brother from South Africa have done great to help me. Hive account@stellabelle has been very helpful too. Hive account@surpassinggoogle created the  landing space I'm still enjoying today. Hive account@trafalgar, Hive account@ausbitbank, Hive account@onequality and Hive account@teamsteem have occasionally dropped in to help. 

My today's post is dedicated to Hive account@ehiboss and Hive account@gbenga. Today, they surprised me with something I never thought I could get from them. I send special lights and love to both of you. Thanks so so much.

If  you want to lighten your burdens no matter how heavy they seem, start keeping good company. Good people don't necessarily solve all your problems, but they share it with you.

Choose your friends wisely. 

Happy Weekend!
