The Multiplying Power of Association
People were designed for interdependence and multiplication. The human heart is a bed of rich, fertile soil, just waiting to receive the seeds of influence. Those seeds of influence are planted in our hearts by our relationships, and they will produce a crop that will manifest in our characters and in the outcome of our lives. It is a process that we can neither inhibit nor stop.
Influence:
The very nature of influence is to bring multiplication. Bad relationships will plant seeds of destructive influence, and the result will be a crop of bad outcomes and destruction in a person's life. By contrast, relationships with wise, honorable people will sow the seeds of wisdom and integrity into an individual's heart, producing a multiplication and harvest of wisdom, honor, favor, promotion, and increase in that individual's life.
A human heart will, without question or doubt, multiply and produce whatever seeds of influence it receives. It is impossible to prevent the seeds from producing. However, what we can and must do is choose, on purpose, which seeds of influence are planted within our hearts. The only way to accomplish this is to be extremely selective in choosing our relationships.
TAKE ACTION:
1. What relationships are moving you toward your future?
2. What role do you play in each of relationship you currently have?
3. Have you sifted out those who are hindering your progress? If not, why not?

• When You Are Looking For A Future You Will Never Find It In Your Past
