I've realized this very lately that the most influential factor in our life is our surrounding. If we are surrounded by ambitious, empathetic and focused people, we are more likely to imitate them. If the people around us are good, we would absorb their light and feel enshrined in their angelic aura. 

Same goes with lost, abusive and shitty people; if we are surrounded by narcissists, abusers and bullies, we are more likely to devalue and doubt ourselves. Every now and then, we would be confused, depressed and hurt. 

Hence, whenever we  find ourselves at our worst - broken, down-hearted or low-key -  we must look around and make sure we are surrounded by friends that are helpful, caring, and empathetic. The very first thing we have to do in order to get better and progress is to get rid of all the filthy creatures we have been stuck with.

Change your surrounding to change yourself.
