Wisdom is contagious
Friends who aren’t careful with their lives won’t be careful with your life.
Friends who don’t take care of themselves won’t take care of yourself.
The point of a guardrail is to light up your consciences before we veer into the danger zone.
1.Relational Guardrails, When it dawns on you that your core group isn’t moving in the direction you want your life to be moving...
2. When you catch yourself pretending to be someone other than who you really are...
3. When you feel pressure to compromise...
4. When you catch yourself thinking, “I’ll go but I won’t participate...”
5.
When you hope the people you care about don’t know your whereabouts...
How did this happen?
Our friends still determine the direction and the quality of our lives.
