Psalm 1:1

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of the sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

The people we keep company with will influence our lives, whether for good or bad.  A person who doesn’t know God or His ways is not where we should seek sound advice.  Whether we like it or not, we can be influenced by people and even the news.  Whatever we spend time listening to will affect our attitudes and slow us from reaching our dreams.
