Choosing Companions

This week I learned a lot about how important it is to choose people to accompany you along life’s journey who are reliable, honest, full of integrity, kind, hard-working and positive. However, I also realized even more how important it is to be that person so that you can attract those kinds of people. Anything you wish to see in the people around you, you must first be willing to emulate and develop within yourself. The people you surround yourself with tend to become a part of who you are so it is important that you are influencing others for the best. We must first be willing to be the companion we need and then look for the companion we need.

That is one of the reasons it’s so important to stay close to the spirit because we need The Lord in our life and we need the spirit. We need them as our companions. They must guide us in every way and help us become more like our Savior Jesus Christ. When picking companions, the Lord should always be our first choice. And if anyone along the way, distances us from them, we should reevaluate who we are letting accompany us in life’s journey.
