✨ Hanging with the Wrong Crowd 🚫

Sometimes it takes losing yourself to realize who you really are. Hanging with the wrong crowd can feel exciting at first—new friends, constant action, and a sense of belonging. But slowly, without even noticing, you start changing. Your values slip, your dreams fade, and you find yourself doing things you once said you’d never do.

The truth is, the people you surround yourself with have the power to influence your mindset, your choices, and your future. If they aren’t encouraging you to grow, they’re keeping you stuck. If they aren’t protecting your peace, they’re disturbing it. And if they aren’t helping you build, they’re tearing you down.

There comes a point where you have to ask yourself: Who am I becoming around them? If the answer doesn’t line up with the person you’re trying to be, then it’s time to step back. It’s not about thinking you’re better—it’s about protecting your purpose.

Growth requires hard choices. Sometimes that means walking away from people you care about because the path they’re on isn’t the one God designed for you. And that’s okay. Protect your energy. Protect your future. Surround yourself with people who want to see you win, who remind you of your worth, and who push you toward the best version of yourself.

At the end of the day, the wrong crowd can cost you everything. But the right circle? They’ll help you see just how far you can go.
