Positive Friends positive energy

[csj0952]

I'm writing this to just refer to it from time to time in the future...call it a gameplan if you will. I've been listening to some self improvement audiobooks on mp3 and the one thing I gotta work harder on is surrounding myself with positive people. I feel like part of the reason I am so negative is that my friends bring me down to some extent

You should look at the journal of bjserven . He is also looking for the same type of friends in his life.

I've always heard that the quickest way to becoming successful is by hanging out with successful people. I think there is definately truth to that statement, and the same goes for having positive attitudes. I don't think friends can be entirely blamed for your negativity though. Most of the changes have to come from within (as lame as that sounds), but yea, I guess it does certainly help when there aren't other people dragging you down. Goodluck sticking with the positive, progressive changes. :-)
