The concrete on which everything is based

The relationships which we maintain in our lives truly define us. Have u ever heard "you are who you hang around". It is important to be open minded enough to build new relationships with people who have what you want. It could be something physical, mental or spiritual. Energy is contagious. If we surround ourselves with positive people then we will feel nothing but support on our new ventures. If the people around you are telling you what you can't do all the time I would reconsider what you share with them for they may have good intentions but they buried behind years of negative programming. The bottom line is discover what your passion is and surround yourself with people that are walking the path you would to be on they will help walk in their footsteps.

I do agree that we are affected by those who are around us. Whether that is good or bad. It all depends. I thankfully have very good friends who are always encouraging to me. I try to do the same for them. I'm so happy that I have good friends and that we are able to have good friendship with one another.

Mental for my boyfriend and me. We are staying together because we always have something to talk about. He and I both believe in science and we believe in intelligent discussions. We get into arguments, but they are fun arguments. Sometimes we get mad at each other because we will strongly disagree with something, but then sooner or later, we will both just agree to disagree.

I agree with you it's bad for you, your energy level to stick around with negative people. But according to me it's not necessary to stick around with positive people who encourage you. Why needing others to do so if you have enough self esteem??? If you know what your passion is go for that, you don't need people to encourage you, just your own enthousiasme and courage.

Yes it's similar to "tell me who your friends are and I'll tell you who you are". The best people to hang out with are the people you have the same interests with, because you could learn more about your interests and could talk about your different views. and overall it would be fun :) Welcome to mylot and have a nice day
