One of the most important decisions that you make in life is your choice of the people with whom you habitually associate.
Associate with the right people.Spend time around winners, and get away from negitive people. Get away from people who complain and condemn and critize all the time. These toxic people depress you and take all the joy out of living.
After you have spent time with them, you feel discouraged and demotivated. Instead, choose your friends and associates with care.
As Baron de Rothschild said,"Make no useless acquantances."Be perfectly selfish about the people with whom you choose to work and socialize.Your "Reference group" will have more of an impact on your success and happiness than any other choices you make in life.
Your reference group is made up of people with whom you identify and associate most of the time.If you fly with eagles, you will think and feel like an eagle.If you associate with turkeys, you will think, walk,talk, and act like a turkey.
The people around you have an inordinate influence on your personality, your opinions, your goals, and everything you accomplish.Successful people are often described as loners. This does not mean that they are a-loners.
They have lots of friends, but they do not go out to lunch with whoever is standing by the door at the time.They are selective in their relationships. They insist upon only spending time with people they enjoy and whose company they can benefit from.You must do the same.

LIVE IN TRUTH WITH YOUR SELF
The practice of Integrity means that you live in truth with everyone around you. You state your truth honestly. You do not stay in relationships that are wrong for you or do things that you do not agree with or believe in.
You do not say things to people that are not honest and sincere expressions of your true beliefs. You insist on living in truth in every area of your life. The roots of self- esteem and self- confidence lie deep within your own character.
The more you practice impeccable integrity in your relationships with yourself and others, the more you will like and respect yourself. The more you like and respect yourself, the more you will like and respect others, and the more they will like and respect you. Both the quantity and quality of your relationships will increase.
Integrity is the one value that guarantees all the others. You are honest to the degree to which you live consistently with every other principle that you know to be right and good and true.Consistency in behavior is the measure of your integrity.
