“Seek the Company of Good Men”
Written by Dr Paul Haider - Spiritual Teacher
We have lots of people in the world and some want to create havoc and pain in our lives. Walk Away!
Even if a person has a job and he is being treated terribly it’s important to walk away and find the company of good people. To stay in the company with those who are only interested in their own needs and want to hurt others to achieve their goals will only lead to misfortune. Yet it’s not easy to walk away from a good job, a job a person has been working at for years. But in our heart of hearts, we know the truth of the matter. We know it’s best to walk away yet many times we persist and end up getting hurt in the long run.
The same goes for relationships, we can have people we love who are terrible to us yet we hang on. We can be verbally abused, neglected, and a myriad of other things which are not good. Yet we hold on thinking it’s OK and allow abuse to take place. Yet we know deep down in our heart we have to make a change. And those who find the willpower do so break free. It’s one of the hardest things anyone can do. Some people even end up living in shelters until they are able to make some headway to overcome challenges. But eventually everything works out— it just takes time.
Personally, I remember working for some people who were taking advantage of me. And after awhile I had to make a decision to get up and leave or to be trapped for the rest of my life. So with a heavy heart I walked away, but looking back now it was the best thing I ever did. But it was not easy to walk away from something that brought in money into the unknown. But for those who stand tall and say “Enough is Enough” they break free— and eventually find the company of good men.
A friend of mine decided to move back home after spending some time in the midwest. And during that time a great recession took place and he had a hard time finding a job. It got so bad that in order to make a living he took a job in a warehouse. But the people he worked with were terrible, swearing all the time, being nasty to each. He stuck it out for 2 weeks, and then he said to himself “I can’t be around these people anymore”. So he resigned and went on to bigger and better things and eventually everything worked out for the best.
It’s a personal choice, a choice to find something better and to be in the company of great people.
It’s a God thing— A way of looking at life from our heart where Great Spirit resides and following our heart.
Many Blessings to Everyone!
