The principle is, when you are connected to people who are favored, people who are further along, and people who are more successful that favor is going to flow down to you. You will see increase and promotion because of that association. There should be people you are in relationship with who inspire you, who challenge you, who make you strive to do better.
When you are connected to someone who is blessed, you honor them, you learn from them, you sow into them and the more blessed they are, the more blessed you are going to be. Eventually, you are going to become like who you are connected to. Are you connected to anyone who has what you want or are you connected to people who are negative, critical, cannot get ahead, cause your to comprise and drain your energy? It is fine to be good influence. It is fine to encourage them. But if you are spending all your time with them, the problem is that you are going to become just like them. They are rubbing off on you.
You need to disconnect from people who are hindering your growth, limiting your potential and causing you to compromise. Find some favor connection, people who are going places, people who are at a higher level, people who have what you are dreaming about. You need some eagles in your life. You cannot hang around with chickens and reach your destiny. You cannot spend all your free time with crows, people who complain, people who have accepted mediocrity. You need people who are soaring, people who are taking new ground, people who are out of debt, people who think bigger than you, people who are exposing you to levels that you have never seen.
