The friends you have say a lot about you, the kind of food you like, your behavior, your hobbies, and the kind of work you do. I used to argue about this before but recently I realized that I met most of my friends in the gym and that is because I am always at the gym and most of the people I frequently talk with are those who are into fitness one way or another and I did not even know when all my contacts just change because I have built my life around fitness this allows me to meet people of the same vision which is to have a great body and good health. All this happened without me knowing which is huge.
These people have influenced me to take the gym more seriously and have helped me to change all the bad behavior I have towards the gym. That is how powerful friends are in influencing us because it is easy for us to change any behavior when we people around us who are fighting for common goals. Most of the things we learn from our friends are the things we don’t even put our minds to, we talk like them, go out like them, etc. This is the main reason why it is always difficult to change comes life without changing your friends because they are the perfect reflection of your previous life.
Show me your friends and I will you who you are
All your closest friends are most likely won’t tell you the truth and this is not because they don’t want to tell you but because they don’t also know the truth and they are also suffering exactly what you are suffering from. Most times you probably have the same mentality, you have the same bad behavior that is holding you back, and they don’t see anything bad in what is wrong with you because they probably have the same problem. This is why it is easy for people to drown when they are surrounded by those who have drowned in life because when you are drowning it looks normal.
When you are surrounded by people who are negative it will be difficult for you to be positive and most times this is something we don’t know until we take a closer look by asking ourselves how our friends are influencing us be it good or bad. Sometimes we can go as far as jotting down their names and running from those who have a bad influence on our lives because these might be the best sacrifices we can make to reach the next level in our lives, the thing we must understand is that we must never be sentimental when making such decisions.
Just flee
our friends have a big influence on us, our close friends are most likely to have the same behavior as us because we learn from them and they also learn from us. if we are ready to change our lives we must be willing to let go of friends that are having a bad influence without sentiment because the kind of friends we harbor will determine the kind of choice we make.
Thanks for your time.
