Our choice

Though we aren't always able to control the people that we meet, we do have a lot of
control over whom we choose to keep in our lives Though it is definitely difficult to choose
who to make your friend and who not to, making these decisions and picking the right
 friends could be as serious as life or death. In choosing friends, be sure to look for and
hang around people who are loyal, people who encourage, and people who are responsible.
 If a person is willing to talk about someone else to you, chances are they will speak
 negatively about you to others as well. Also, if a person is willing to discourage their
other friends from chasing their dreams, chances are they will attempt to discourage you
 from chasing your own as well, the time will surely come for everyone to show you who
 they really are, so make sure you believe them the first time.~♥ -
