People are important 1

I remember while I was younger how my mum told me not to associate with certain people because she felt they were not a good influence (from her intuition). In most cases, I listened and in some cases I didn't really take heed. Definitely consequences will come from the decision of not listening. I regretted not listening to her for some and was grateful to God I didn't listen in some cases.

I remember how all the "don't go close to" statements made me look people from afar and concluded what they were or were not.

I've always had the thought that people might not just be what they look like or act like at first cause it's either they might just be going through a bad/hard day that could make them send the wrong signal or something might have happened to you before then that impedes your judgement towards them at that particular time.

I realized I was right cause the best of friends I have came from people I usually would have had a wrong impression on and till I gave them the opportunity, I never would have known how beautiful they were inside.

Learn to have a free spirit with people. 

If you feel the person might not be good enough for you, have you thought of how that little time you share with or little talk you have with the person can bring a transformation to that individual?

Life is more than socializing to make connections or to gain something. It should be more about impacting on the next person you have an opportunity to impact on. If the person is not of good character, you can always give the person the striking thought of reasoning to be different for the better.

This doesn't mean you must talk to every and anybody, just think IMPACT more than JUDGING.

To be continued.

I rest my case.
