I agree with this. I dislike the phrase too. It's normal, everybody does it, why won't you conform? Building a large circle around you doesn't mean it's the right path. Actually I think that genuine connection and friendship are scarce so the smaller the circle the better. I would rather have fewer quality friends than a bunch of people who would go back and forth depending on how it suits them. Let me tell you a quote I loved :A friend to all is a friend to none. I never trust people who smile and talk behind people's back and then come and smile at me.

We should take time to analyse daily what we have done, our choices and the way we look at things. It is actually necessary on order to clean up any bulk that might have infiltrated in our life.
