People you choose to surround yourself with reflect your values. Be careful though because that can come back to bite you if you don’t choose wisely.
Take King Noah (124 B.C.). He almost turned around from his loser ways at a critical moment “for he feared the judgments of God would come upon him.”
When his priests saw this they applied to his vanity and said, “He [Abinadi] has reviled the king!” So the Noah was stirred up to anger, forgot his fear of God’s punishment, and had Abinadi killed.
The result? Noah was shortly after killed by fire at the hands of his disgusted people. If he had surrounded himself with better people the result would have been much different, and better.
