Think About Who You Call Your Friend

Some people may define a friend to be a person they have known and grown attached to in some way. It may have been by their looks,similar ideas and hobbies,or just having"A LOT" of things in common. Well,while that may sound fun,exciting,and great. There is a little secret behind these very people we call our friends. I'm not saying everybody who you call your friend are backstabbing, lying, manipulating people but sometimes you have to pay attention to details such as: character,body language,how they act in public/around others,and things that come out their mouth. Some people who you have known for a very long time will turn against,betray,steal,and use you to their advantage without you knowing. One thing you fail to realize and check involves their environment. Who do they choose to hang around with? Are they the kin of people in the streets and hang out in the club? How do they dress? Same or different when they're around other people? How do they talk? Bad to just impress others or proper and normal. Some people lifestyle and choices aren't the same compared to you. These very same people you call your friend will influences you do the wrong thing,peer pressure you, and cause you to end up on the wrong path. They can prohibit you from moving forward and being successful. You might end up in activities such as: smoking, drinking, being involved in criminal activities, and many more. It will allow you to loose focus on what's really important such as: getting an education, school, sports, scholarships,grants and so forth. Take a moment to stop and realize the people you hang around and communicate with. Ask yourself,"Is this the kind of person I want in my life?" Do this person want to be successful in life or make something of themselves? Does this person set goals to do good in school? Do they hang around people that smoke or people that read books,stay on task,and do their work? Are they disrespectful,mean, and nasty to others or treat others as they would do to themselves? One of the most important questions that combines the rest of them together is: "What's the status of my friend's priorities ?" What really caused this person to want to hang out with me.? Did you have to change your appearance, fashion, or style to catch this person attention. Did you have to do a lot of things you normally would do to impress this person?These types of friend will laugh,giggle,and smile in your face one moment.The next moment, their talking about you behind you back to someone else telling all your business and spreading lies"he say/she say drama". Some will only hang with you if you do what they think is cool or would attract attention from others to be known or popular. These say type of people will set your life up for the wrong things instead of pushing and motivate to do great things. At the end of the day a friend would do anything to hurt you or put you in harms way. They would always keep you up lifted to go out and do greater things in life. They'll help you up when your down. They'll make you happy when you are sad and when you need them,they'll pick up the phone,talk to you about anything that's on their mind, and be there for you through think and thin.That's the kind of friend I want, a person to motivate,push,and tell me to keep going no mater how hard or tough it get because they'll always be their for me. Even if forever isn't forever and always isn't always. Let it be good will it last,but if you do find a good friend,keep them close while keeping your eyes and ears open.
Note:

1. If you every have to second guess yourself about doing anything, don't  do it. Always go with your first thought.

2. "Don't every allow a person to push you to do anything you don't or you'll regret later."

3. Find someone who share the same goal in life as you no matter how big or small it may be. A goal is a goal;a task that your trying to reach,complete,and set bigger ones on top of them.
