Toxic People

Perhaps you’ve noticed that negative people tend to associate only with other negative people. People that fail are constantly running with other people that are constantly failing. My mother used to tell me, “Birds of like feather flock together.”

Your relationships are vital to your personal success in life. The Apostle Paul wrote, “Evil associations corrupt good manners.” You become like the people you associate with on a constant basis.
