Surround Yourself with Greatness!

In Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 it reads: Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken. Reading the Hero’s Journey this week in chapter 4 I learned-How can I build up myself and others? I need to ask these questions: Do I have companions who will help “keep me awake” on the journey? Where is my most dangerous blind spot? What has kept me from overcoming this weakness? How can I overcome it or compensate for it? How can I enlist the aid of someone who is strong in areas where I am weak? I need faithful companions who help me on my journey. Am I such a companion to others? How can I protect and nurture the relationships I already have? During hard times- who would continue to stand by me? Who will run?
