You are who you're rolling with

With my personal experience. I can say that your quality of thoughts depends on the quality of people you roll with. We are easily influenced by the people and the environment around us. No matter how stable you are, you are easily influenced by them. It's the law of nature. If you roll with the people who drink alcohol, no doubt of becoming an alcohol addict. You cannot stop that! it's an automatic process. Without knowing, you'll get influenced by others.

Are you spending the time with quality people? are you spending the time with the people who are living the life you dream of? do your friends really inspire you? do your friends helping in studying for exams of helping you for cheating in exams? everything matters. Either your friend may improve or degrade you. It really matters if your friends are lifting you up.Even without their consent, a lot of friends discourage you in many instances. 

In my life, I drifted through a lot of people who manipulated my thoughts and desires. It took few years for me to realize that I'm rolling with wrong people and I will get to nowhere if I continue with those people. I'm not saying they're bad but, they cannot help me to improve myself and moreover they're downgrading me day by day. I realized my path is different and unfortunately I got into the wrong bus. They have their own enjoyments and fun stuff. but, I cannot waste the time with that kinda stuff. After deciding to change myself, the first thing I did was burning the bridges. Yeah, I did it without any 2nd thought. but, still I got that one friend who always stays with me like the shadow. That's enough for me.

You don't need many friends to live happily. You just need few true people around you to live world-class life. Just cut off fake people from your life and try to figure out who's real and who's not. A good friend will help you in showing how to do things rather than doing things for you. The reason behind this is, one day he may not be with you. but, the method that he had shown you will help you out. if you wanna be a basketball player then roll with a basketball player or a coach. You cannot become a leader by rolling with a follower. Leaders have a separate lifestyle. They never follow,they never imitate, they never depend on others. but followers do.

Never neglect about the influences you're going to have from your associates and environment. If you surround yourself with positive people then, you will have the positive vibes around you! 

Be smart!!
