actively seeking positive influences
3 years ago
Right now, I seem to have the habit of rejecting most people as influences or friends. Before this, I was much more open, inviting everyone I encountered to be my friend. I wasn’t that selective about who I would allow as an influence. Back then, I was more passive, not filtering out bad influences like alcohol, drugs, or time-wasters in general. There needs to be some alternative outside of either letting everyone in, or locking the doors and keeping everyone out. Now I will choose my influences, and seek them out actively. But what influences should I search for? Here are some qualifiers:
• Education
• An eye for the future
• Good attitude
• Open minded
• Frugal (is OK with saving money)
