Ever hang around with people who do nothing but complain about everything and everyone around them?  If we do it often enough, we find ourselves beginning to do the same thing.

LIke it or not, we are shaped by where we are and who we hang around  with.  As a child it was our parents, our family and our home.  We had literally no choice and it shaped us, for good or for bad.

As adults, each of us can chose where we are and the people we associate with.  It can be done.  As we look around, we see many successful people who came from extremely adverse situations.  They did it by knowing what they wanted in life, being willing to and making the changes necessary.  They associated with like minded people, changed where they lived, how they lived and where spent the majority of their time.

It was uncomfortable and probably even scary.  After all, most change is.  Know what you really want out of life.  Know what it takes to achieve it and be willing to make changes and not excuses. 

Have a great week.
