What Friends do you Want

This may be blatantly obvious but even if you have lots of friends right now, think about the person that you want to become and envision the type of people that they would surround themselves with. It is very important to surround yourself with people that have similar aspirations and achievements that you wish to have. If you are surrounding yourself with groups of people that only complain about life and make excuses for themselves then you should probably change that friend group. Negativity is unbelievably contagious and you want to be around people that are positive about life and are achieving their goals like you wish to do. Also it is important that you are hanging around people that have integrity and practice the simple rule of doing unto others. You may be someone that admires the Jordan Belfort types that you see in the movies but I promise you do not want to be that guy and therefore you do not want to surround yourself with those types of people. If someone does another person wrong, then they are likely to do you wrong as well when given the opportunity. Try to keep your ears more open than your mouth. Sometimes people will slip up and tell you who they really are without even knowing it. Avoid those who always gossip and hate on other people. These are the types to tell you that you can’t achieve something or try to keep you on their level. Friends should be happy for your success and provide encouragement. At the end of the day it is very important who you choose as your friends and spend most of your time with. You will almost certainly be just like and achieve similar things as these people.
