🏛️ Stoic Quote

Keep company only with people who uplift you. - Epictetus

In modern life, it's essential to surround ourselves with those who inspire and support us. Just as negative energy can bring us down, positive influences can elevate us and help us grow. For example, choosing friends who encourage healthy habits like exercise can motivate us to stay active and improve our well-being.

A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
Proverbs 18:24 ESV

The Bible verse emphasizes the importance of having a loyal and supportive friend over numerous superficial companions. This aligns with the lesson that surrounding ourselves with uplifting people who genuinely care for us can lead to better outcomes and prevent us from potential harm.
