Choose Your Circle, Choose Your Future

You are the average of the people you spend the most time with. If your friends are always drinking, smoking, and avoiding responsibility, chances are you’re headed in the same direction.

When you start growing, some people will try to hold you in place with labels like “You’ve changed” or “You’re bougie.” Ignore that noise. Those words are just chains disguised as jokes — meant to keep you comfortable, not successful.
