My mother said the captioned all the time, granted it took me a little time to really understand the true meaning of this. When I did, I realized that it is so true. It’s always said “you are the sum of the five persons you hang around with the most.” There is no disputing this. If you doubt it, just step back and observe the people around and you will see the truth in the statement. Persons don’t seem to understand that if you hang out with bums, guess what, you are almost certain to be one. I think the reverse is also true. “Birds of a feather flock together”.
When I talk to persons who say to me “nothing happening for them.” And for the life of them they can’t understand why and will say it must be something with the economy as the same thing is happening to their friends. How is it that it’s not happening to anybody else outside of your circle? So for them everybody else “lucky”.
Sometimes we outgrow persons and sometimes you need to just move away from the “energy vampires.” They pull you down or just keep you down with them. There is no chance to grow unless you break those chains and run for the hills. I have been blessed to have friends that I grew up with and they are still a part of my life and probably will always be, but they share the same values and attitudes and that is what makes the difference. You attract what you are. So maybe you should change your outlook and attitude and see what happens.
I learnt very early in life that some people mean you no good although they claim to be friends. Always analyze the people around you as they will reflect what you appear to be to the world. Not saying you should only focus on what the world has to say, but sometimes they see what you are blind to.
Tell me what you think. Do you still have the same friends you had growing up? Do your friends share your values and attitudes? Maybe you have never thought about it and now you will.
See you next Wednesday, at 8:00 pm.

……And what does it say when your circle is now 2 young children, 2 dogs and a cat?…or no one in particular?
On a serious note, there is much to be thankful for when the friends who share your most important life moments are the same ones from childhood. And I count you one of them!!
🤗
It makes sense…Oprah Winfrey shares similar sentiment. I agree with article. Several factual negative indulgences will inevitably nail you to the ground in a stsgnabt state. Thumbs up! Great article
Thank you.
Certainly welcome.A great moral guide lady Andrea.
And when you are a loner.
🤔. Interesting. Will think about that one.
Birds of a feather do flock together… and that’s why I’ve been a part of the same flock for years as we help each other to soar. Although sometimes you experience up drafts and other times down drafts my flock a.k.a. FRIENDS will ALWAYS help each other to stay afloat. Flock/friends for life.
Friends for life.
My dad told me this way back then”show me your friends…..” life’s experience. Absolutely true.
You have to admit he was right. 👍🏽
