“Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works.” (Hebrews 10:24 NLT)
When driving long distances, it is helpful to have another person in the vehicle with you. Even if they can’t help you drive, they can help you stay alert, navigate, provide companionship, and get snacks from the back seat. The ideal companion knows not to distract you when you need to be focused, to keep you alert when you get drowsy, and to point out directions that you may miss on your own. Thus, choosing the right person to ride shotgun can vastly improve your trip.
Good companions can be helpful in all areas of life. A person who holds you accountable, points out when you are off track, reminds you of your goals, and motivates you to be the best is invaluable. All of us need mentors; we can be role models for others, as well. Sometimes we are the encourager; other times we need encouragement. Those who are close often shape each other’s thoughts and decisions. We can influence each other to pay attention or distract each other in a myriad of ways. Thus, the people we choose to accompany us on our journey can make a huge difference in the quality of our lives.
