Question of the day…

I’m reading proverbs today and this statement slaps me in the face…

“Honor is no more associated with fools than snow with summer or rain with harvest.” – Proverbs 26:1

So here’s the question:  What are you associated with? When people think of you what is it they think?

Yesterday I got one of the greatest compliments I’ve ever received. My pastor thanked me for having Integrity. Though I try extremely hard to have integrity  I know that I fall short from time to time.  But the incredible compliment to be associated with Integrity was huge for me.

Your actions ultimately control what people think about you. I would say that more often than not if people in general think your mean… then your mean. Or if they think your nice… your nice. If they think your a fool… you guessed it, your a fool. I know there are exceptions to this but i think in general this is true. So the question must be answered, What are you associated with? Go ask some people to be honest with you and find out what they think about you. You might be surprised. But it will be good feedback you can use to improve your self and your relationships with others.

Love ya,
