Surround yourself with only people who are going to lift you higher. – Oprah Winfrey When I sat down to begin writing, my intent was to write about dealing with the disappointments that come with human entanglements. However as I began to tap out letters hoping that words would form, I quickly discovered that I needed inspiration; and inspiration I found, in the form of an Oprah Winfrey quote. Which then lead me to recall a Chinese Proverb, or something, that goes something similar to this….If you want to know a man’s character, look no further than his friends. Who are you surrounded by? Are they building you up? Do they tear you down? I discovered a blog post by Jason Seiden entitled ‘How to The rest of the story

My challenge to you this weekend is to notice the people around you; especially those closest to you, The rest of the story
