Your social life influences your future

That is every day irrevocable principle, someone can even call karma. How can someone befriend to fishes in the river and know how to fly or befriend with birds and know how to swim. The point is simple, being a friend of business magnates and you can't think business and be building one explains the level dummy that person is. The point is simple also, it is impossible to befriend armed robbers and  or any other malicious group of persons and won't understand such lifestyle and behavior to the point being like them in one thing or the other.

That is why it's said "show me your friends and I will show you who you are", the circle you hang around with are just like the mirror in your bathroom, it shows you who you are. It is not possible for childhood friends to remain together in adulthood and old age, at a certain level all of them will separate and like minds among them will be hanging out. That is why you will see some people holding grudges against their successful childhood friends that they refused to carry them along but maybe the successful friend had tried many times to elevate the friend who refused to step up. The best thing is to move on as an adult and associate with like minds that they will grow together.

It could be you today who is stuck in the economy because you hang out with weak, stupid, and failed people, who only talk about things that have no value.

Do we still have men that belong to this category? As far as I know, women are the one mostly found in this category of people that gossip, gist and have discourse that add nothing to their self development. Although, there are few men who still believes that government will come to rescue them one day by giving them employment probably because they have no responsibility and they find comfort mingling with myopic minds. The class you associate yourself with shape your future. If you don't build relationships with people of higher class, you're limiting your path to development. Your mindset process what is open to it, if your circle is of low class, your mindset will be limited to shallow ideas and likewise if your circle is the one of great minds.

Not that we should not live a social life, but we must be mindful of anything we are doing so as not to waste our time and money on unnecessary things, because some have been so carried away in doing other things that needed less attention from them, while the ones that should attract more of their attention have been neglected and left unattended to, which is how loss of priority starts, when people easily lose focus all because of social life.

In fact, I think we actually need an outside life like socializing. I believe socializing has positive impacts, not only because we can share things, whether about work or other things, but also because we experience a different sensation than just sitting at home. I don't have a problem with introverts, because it's probably their choice and they're comfortable that way, but socializing is better.

And I think the influence of socializing is quite strong. If we socialize incorrectly, we can run into problems, perhaps with other people, or, as you said, with a lot of time wasted on unimportant things. Therefore, socializing is important, but we also have to be smart about it so we don't go in the wrong direction.

If you hang out with people who have ambitions, talk about business potential or profit potential, talk about the future for the better, self improvement, talk about knowledge, talk about technology and investment, slowly your ambitions will be awakened, your knowledge will increase and you will realize that you have to organize your life to be better, because every time you will hear people talking about how to live more advanced.

It is very true that your environment can affect you and your future. Many persons today believe certain ways and do things in certain ways because if their environment. There is a saying here "Show me your friends and I will tell you who you are", I think that's the same message this your topic is passing.

Hanging out with the right people can change your life, let me give an example with a close friend of mine. He is very extroverted, he can walk into any room and immediately control the room now I'm someone who isn't very good with people in public generally, but lately I see myself speaking up especially when I'm with this my friend.

I thought about my own habit a few years ago of always spending time with friends who only spent time playing games, even my friends and I switched sleeping hours to daytime because the nights were used to play games, but a few months ago I have left that habit and I no longer play the games I used to play. Now the difference is visible where my friends are still like that and do not have an income but with myself I already have an income, but sometimes I also come to treat them.

Breaking out of bad habits is a good thing. What you're doing is a very good choice. Not everyone is willing or able to do it. Sometimes, people just want to stay in their comfort zone without wanting to get out and rise to become better.
Our environment does have a significant influence on us, but as we mature, we should be able to think and choose between good and bad paths. It all comes down to personal choice.

Environment greatly influence a person's way of thinking and even their actions. This is undeniable which is why it's often said that your environment reflects your personality. Breaking free from bad habits isn't easy it requires self awareness and deep regret, which will motivate you to break free from them.

Essentially if you want to break free from bad habits, you must move from a bad environment to a good one. A good environment will inevitably produce good results, and a bad environment will also produce bad results. If you surround yourself with people who are diligent, disciplined, punctual, and hardworking, you will subconsciously follow suit.

That's why every parent must protect their child's environment so they can imitate those around them. Especially since young children are still developing they will always imitate the words and actions of those around them, shaping them into better individuals in the future.

It's often said that show me your friends and I will tell you who you are, as simple as that statement is it's a very powerful statement. The kind of people you associates with will go a long way in defining who you are as a person.Your circle has a great influence on you because the quality of people you allow to be around you determine how far you can go in life. If you allow people who challenge you, you become inspired to work and improve yourself the more you have to stay around people who are goal oriented and future minded such people will propel you to improving yourself, skills and even knowledge base.

Surrounding yourself with successful people is not all of it, surround yourself with successful people who for you. You can surround yourself with the right people but they don’t have anything better to give you, the hide opportunities, connections and knowledge from you.
In a circle there can be rich friends and poor friends who have been together.
Be in the right room, spend on your self, groom yourself, opportunities can for you even if it’s not from your circle.

you are right, surrounding yourself with people that are successful doesn't automatically mean that they are the right people for you. like.yoi said, they might have certainty opportunities and ideas that they wouldn't want to share because they are scared that you might become better than them some people have this myopic mindset of holding back informations so people would always be beneath them

There are so many unnecessary principles people had attached to their life which doesn't make a flower grow better.
You don't have to add plenty of these principles thinking that would guide you throughout your stays in this planet but those that are flexible are better and will become a better person than those people that thoughts principles controls the universe. All you need is a single opportunity that will connect you to those people that will change your life. You don't have to be the most brilliant or the smartest, all you need is just one opportunity and your entire life could change for better.

Reality is, you can befriend with anyone else if you let yourself adopt theirs too, if you let yourself allow to do the same thing with them. Otherwise, if you do nothing, they will not let you in, they will not let you part of their group or association.

In the end, you are what your friends are, who your friends are. And the things they do are most likely what you learn to love doing.

Everything requires a process, and relationships can determine one's path to success, but one must also have the intention and strive to achieve it individually. Knowledge and expertise should be shared with everyone because that's how we can help others achieve success. Most people fear competition, so they're reluctant to share their experiences, especially when building a business or other endeavors. In reality, sharing business knowledge with others can actually provide opportunities for us to achieve greater success, and vice versa, allowing them to develop their business even better after we share our ideas.

Well, that's what I think. It seems like they're stuck in their comfort zone, even though it doesn't produce anything positive, like income. I know that this method can also generate profits, but so far they haven't made any profit from what they usually do. What I wonder is, once I break out of that habit, will they continue like that, or will there be a change? I believe there will be a change, but I don't know when.
As an adult, I can certainly distinguish between good and bad for myself, and I think everyone will change for the better with awareness, but time will tell.

There are things that can be discussed with others and things that cannot. The same applies to business strategies; some are confidential, while others are common knowledge and can be shared with others. However, sharing business insights can sometimes open up new perspectives and bring new inspiration. This can only be achieved if we talk to the right people who are supportive of our business.

Actually, perhaps we are all becoming more cautious because it is quite difficult to find people who are truly trustworthy these days. So it's not just that we are afraid of competition, but we are also becoming more vigilant and have to be more careful in everything we do. This is especially true when it comes to business and finance, which are very sensitive areas. Because there are people who like us and there are also those who don't.

[Dick Long]

I agree with you we are influence by the people we walk with, that determine who are and going to be in the nearest future.
It's good to carefully select the friends we mingle with, because there way of life, mindset, attitude can dominate our individual personal decisions and reflect in daily life influencing our future

[Youngrebel]

Let's say you're an ordinary person, just like everyone else.

If you hang out with people who only talk about other people, talk about gossip, talk about grievances and talk about things that are not important for your personal development, you will stay in that position, don't expect life to get better.

If you hang out with people who have ambitions, talk about business potential or profit potential, talk about the future for the better, self improvement, talk about knowledge, talk about technology and investment, slowly your ambitions will be awakened, your knowledge will increase and you will realize that you have to organize your life to be better, because every time you will hear people talking about how to live more advanced.

It could be you today who is stuck in the economy because you hang out with weak, stupid, and failed people, who only talk about things that have no value.

Very funny how life can be as well as how people would be. Amidst those folks who gathers to discuss unnecessary and unseriouse  matters whiling away time inthe table of discussion there are people amongst them who have serious things doing.  They only come out in their spare times to discuss.  Or even have hires who do their jobs for them while they relax. But its so unfortunate that others are fooled and carried away. They spend the whole day with the friends and end up asking for urgent 2k and become a borden to their spouses at the end.
On this note while it is good to have friends and hang out it is also more important to have something doing and be resourceful to your self while you catch up with your social life.

[allthebitandbobs]

A person wit a lot of money but bad attitude, still he won't gain a lot of friends. But if you are friendly and approachable person, although you are tight in budget, there'll be good persons also that want to be friend with you.

The kind of friends you have will definitely leave a huge impact in your life. The reason why as much as possible, find those people who will influence you in a positive way, not leading you to a life where opportunities will only be wasted because your friends do not care them at all.

I would say it is true that being a good person does allow you to have some good friends, but the reality is that if you want to have a richer and more influential people around you while being poor that will be tough, because getting in that group and networking would be hard. Not saying it's impossible, of course it happens in the world we live in, specially if one of the people in the group grows richer while working.

I have a very close friend group, and one of our friends became a lawyer, I have known him since 10 and he was not raised in a rich household, but he became so rich that he is buying up houses as investment every year, of course I can still be his friend because I am old friends with him, but imagine trying to be friends now? Would be very tough.

Not to knock on anything you say, but who's to say the people that have ambitions would want to hang around with a "weak, stupid and failed you" if you're not already ambitious
Most of the times when I hear this rhetoric about leaving people behind, that this is the only way for life to get better, I roll my eyes.
It's all about balance, you burn out faster if all you're swayed by is "personal development" from the hustle culture of this generation. I put personal development in quotes because while it is of the utmost importance to better oneself, it is equally important to foster relationships. Even if you find yourself as "the smartest one at the table" rather than replacing the people, what's stopping you from bringing people along to your level and improving each other?
That said, definitely do not sit around people who don't do anything other than waste away time gossiping, that's just pointless in any scenario.

In fact, I think we actually need an outside life like socializing. I believe socializing has positive impacts, not only because we can share things, whether about work or other things, but also because we experience a different sensation than just sitting at home. I don't have a problem with introverts, because it's probably their choice and they're comfortable that way, but socializing is better.

And I think the influence of socializing is quite strong. If we socialize incorrectly, we can run into problems, perhaps with other people, or, as you said, with a lot of time wasted on unimportant things. Therefore, socializing is important, but we also have to be smart about it so we don't go in the wrong direction.

I am not a psychologist or I did not do any scientific studies, and I am sure someone else already did. But to me, I feel like if you were only at home and didn't go out at all, it would still not matter too much to your mind if you have a lot of online friends that you talk to everyday.

I do see my friends time to time, and I have a roommate so I have human contact everyday and 2 dogs, and once or twice a month I get to see my friends, but if that was the only way I see them, it would be very tough. Hence, we talk online all day most of the time, almost everyday and I am never alone, if not one group of friends, another. I have just online friend group that has people from all around the world, and I think that's good enough.

[Dickiy]

This is the reason why the environment is really influential in life, when you are in an environment that is A then surely you also have habits that tend to be the same as them.
I once heard a story from one of the successful people who before he managed to achieve this success he often went to places where rich people gathered, he was willing to buy coffee at a price 5x more expensive than usual just because he wanted to see how rich people walk, what clothes they wear and what they talk about when gathering with other rich people and he said that all of these things really opened his mind wider, built enthusiasm to continue to look for opportunities and finally now he is successful, so it is a fact that the environment really has a big influence on us.

[silpersurfer]

A healthy environment will keep you healthy, but conversely, even if you're healthy but in an unhealthy environment, you'll also fall ill. On the other hand, friends can be mentors in building your career or future. This is something we must be mindful of, because if you hang out with friends who, let's say, are bad, they will spread to you and you will carry their bad habits with you.

Your environment greatly influences not only your future but also your daily life. Therefore, it's important to be wise in choosing your friends, and you should also be wise in choosing where to live. It's better to live in a place with a slightly higher cost of living but a good environment, rather than living in a place with a lower cost of living but a poor and run-down environment.
