@sacredword1: “Sometimes Sympathy Can Be Your Greatest Enemy in Life” — Pastor Mensa Otabil on the People You Need Around You Pastor Mensa Otabil says there are times when your steps may need to be ordered away from certain people—not because they are bad or evil, but because their influence may not be what you need for the next level of your life. He warned that while some people may genuinely sympathize with your struggles, what you sometimes need is someone who will push you forward rather than make you comfortable in your misery. “Sometimes all you need is somebody who doesn’t feel your pain and tells you, ‘Hey, get over it. Get up and move on.’ And you may feel it cruel, but that’s how champions are made.” #SacredWord
