People Can Make You or Break You

Your relationships can tell a lot about you.

 My mother would say to me be careful of a person that has no friends and when you meet their friends it tells a lot about the individual.

I did not get that until I reached adulthood of course.  I realized that the people who surround you can make a big difference in your life.  My mother was so dedicated to this idea when my sister and I were kids that she did not let us go outside and play with kids in my neighborhood because she thought they were a bad influence.  I hated it!!! I thought she was the worse mother in the world.

As I matured I found out that people can either help you get the best from life or they can cause you to become stuck in the same place.  If you are surrounded by people that are driven and want a life that they create with a purpose, you will do the same thing.  But if you are around a group of people that expect nothing from life or themselves, you will react the same way.

I am sure you have heard the saying, they act like crabs in a barrel.  This is a true statement because like crabs, people imitate the movement of those that surround them.

It is fact that we learn more about ourselves and become better people when we are in relation with each other.  But who we allow in our lives makes a big difference in the outcome of our lives.

Who are the people in your life?
