You become who/what you surround yourself with

[marcusantonio]

We humans are social animals.
For this reason, our environment, as well as the people we surround ourselves with, influence our choices and our lives. While we may have tendencies and preferences for certain things, everything we "hang out with" and who "hangs out with us" will decide the fate of our lives.
The point is this: if you want to have a successful life, healthy relationships, become a man of value, and have peace of mind, what should you do?
Very simple, you should first identify the place, then the people who live there, and see if there are men of value you can take example from, if they have healthy relationships, if they have peace of mind, and then hang out with them, get to know them, and befriend them for the rest of your life.

It's also about "loosening" or spending very little time with all other types of bonds and environments that doesn't met your standards. If we can do this in life, then we are automatically reprogramming our brains, our actions, and our daily habits, to have a life exactly as we wanted it, just because spending your life time with those people will influence you to have their habits, behaviour.

I wrote this short text from my life experiences, because I found myself becoming a different person based on my environment and the people I hung out with, and I understood how programming habits and behaviors played a role.
Today, I focus on hanging out with people with whom I want to build an ideal social life, people always looking to grow, healthy, and not thieves/malicious people.
I gave up the idea of having to be a man of value to women, or having to learn behaviors that would make me attractive to them, because I understood that no woman will ever be satisfied with a man, for any reason, including modern society's fault, but some women will be satisfied with who you are, and therefore, your focus should be on other things in life. And these are: healthy relationships and environment, values, respect, habits, diligence, commitments. But above all, a lot of courage, a lot of extroversion and introversion as needed.
