Every day we have a huge choice that most of us are so unaware of. The people we spend time around, you may not realize how much of an affect it can have on you. Especially if you are around those people constantly.
If you've never heard this quote, Basically it means that you are a mix of the people you spend the most time around.
You act like them, You think like them. You just overall do things like them. Are these people you are okay with? If you are constantly around negative people, you'll start to become negative.
Look at a lot of highly successful people. You'll often notice that they too, Often spend their time around other very successful people.
While you should take responsibility for your actions, Others can easily drag you down.
Even spending small amounts of time around toxic people can add up very quickly. They can pull you away, or distract you from your bigger goals.
Negative people suck. They drain energy. Haven't you noticed that you could be having the best day of your life, But that one person that is always complaining somehow makes you walk away feeling empty and crappy? You don't need that type of negativity in your life.
Sometimes we get in the awkward situation where even our family is like this. While we may not be able to cut off all ties. We can avoid the person the best we can so they no longer have that power over us.
