You Will and Can Become Whoever You Surround Yourself With

Ask yourself who do you spend the most time with? These are people whose thoughts, actions, and words can begin to become  a part of you. Sometimes even couples begin to look like each other after being together for a long time. Sometimes we think we are immune to the negative influence of others. Don't be too proud about your standards because you might fall so learn to create balance by surrounding yourself with people who can complement your strengths and weaknesses. That way you can grow but keep hang around people who don't complement you and don't be surprised if you end up shrinking or shriveling away.

Overcoming Pity and Entitlement

Do you ever feel like the world owes you something? Are you always looking for pity when you are trying to succeed? The truth is that some people might feel sorry for you and empathize and help you out. The other huger majority may never understand you intentionally or unintentionally. So wash your eyes and refuse to view yourself through the eyes of self-pity and self-entitlement because I have not yet seen anyone who got somewhere meaningful by embracing the two.
