Choosing companions wisely might make or break your future. It’s always a good thing to have people with whom you can trust and be open with, but using this alone as a determining factor as to who you should hang around can prove counterproductive.
Regardless of how you feel the real question you should be asking is “Are they the right people?”
Time spent with friends becomes the most enriching time. But have you ever thought that your life is worthless? Do you fear making the wrong moves and poor decisions? Is there a list of things you wish to achieve but can’t?
Well, the answers are all around you. One should look for friends who are realistic, practical, and disciplined in their lives. Who have broader perspectives on life and who influence you to become the person that you always wanted to be.
