This world of the internet and social influence places a lot of emphasis on the number of followers you have. Over recent days I am realizing that the return on actual relationships is far greater than the number of people following you. In the midst of all of the starting and finishing remember people matter more than your success. It’s easy to chase accolades and forget that the people with you are more valuable than any success you can or will achieve. Even in the midst of a crowd of strangers know that they matter. They matter to God so they should matter to you.
We need other people.
We need friends.
We need advocates.- Jon Acuff
