Surrounding yourself with like-minded people improves your way of living
When you surround yourself with negative people, you attract the same energy as what they are attracting because surrounding yourself with people that only talk negatively of themselves or on other people will only drain your energy, thus will have you be placed in a toxic environment in which you don’t want. When these people start to think negatively and talk badly on other people that they are surrounded with, chances are you would also adopt these traits that they have because the people you spend time with influence your thoughts, attitude, and success in life more than you think. In short, you become your environment, because most importantly, it is indeed our environment that shapes and influences us on both physically and mentally on how we live our life.
Your choice of friends determines who you are as a person and defines what you wanted to surround yourself with, for instance, if you become more drawn to people who had an optimistic attitude and creates a wonderful environment to live to, then you want your life to be constantly at peace and you put yourself in a situation where you don’t want anything to do with people that can only drain your energy and negatively impacts your life, whereas on the other hand, when you tend to hang out with pessimistic people then you are also being pessimists yourself.
