21 Habits of Happy People
2. Choose Friends Wisely - “Surround yourself with happy, positive people who share your values and goals. Friends that have the same ethics as you will encourage you to achieve your dreams. They help you to feel good about yourself. They are there to lend a helping hand when needed.”
When I had to give a speech in front of a group of business people about being an entrepreneur in music, one of the things I mentioned is that you don’t have to do everything, all the time, all by yourself. Any successful business person knows surrounding yourself with the right people is imperative. So why is it we hesitate to move on to more productive relationships in our personal lives?
My best friend is my sister. I can tell her anything. She won’t let me get away with anything and we call each other on our drama. It is a long term relationship based on love and respect. That required honesty too. Throughout my life friends have come and gone for all kinds of reasons. I think choosing to keep healthy people around you is important. I think the rule of birds of a feather comes first in terms of vision, spirituality, frame of mind. Then the opposites can attract in terms of personalities, culture and perspective on the world. When they don’t, it’s ok to move on and seek out a world that feeds you.
We are fortunate to have great friends around us. In the world, all around the world, we have people we love. A friend is someone that understands that lighting your candle does not stop their own from shining brightly. Three cheers for our friends. Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine!
Namaste!
