Let me tell you something, for sure it might be too unimportant for you, but I believe it will be very beneficial for your life in the future. So, I hope you can take some lessons from this story, even though we know that we live in a different world, background, and surroundings. Still, I try to make this story relevant and could be accepted by every one of you.

We, as social beings, of course, need social needs, networking, making some friendships, and doing some fun things with others. We realized that we needed it. And we know it is essential to make our life balanced. Indeed, We can’t live alone, We need each other, and We help each other. Then, the question starts to ask ourselves, Is there any purpose for anyone we have met? Absolutely I’ll say yes. So what’s the purpose?

Sometimes, you meet them as a form of media to test you and make you learn new things about life and relationships. Maybe some of us have many friend circles in a different place and society. Obviously, they have diverse backgrounds, characters, and interests. So, that’s what makes us have to adjust in some situations depending on the people we talk to. Usually, one or two of our circle has a positive vibe. The rest is just for fun and sometimes even, unfortunately, has a toxic environment. Maybe The wrong one comes to test us for how patient we are, how calm we are when faced with people who don’t respect us, and how smart we are to treat everyone with various character types. Then occasionally, in the middle of our journey, we have to decide what circles we have to break off? I mean, because we definitely know that this relationship just makes us feel bad, negative, and worse. So why do we have to waste our time on people who don’t give respect to ourselves? Stop now, and eager to say no! Be bold, lads!

Also, there are some people who we meet that teach us the wisdom of life. Sometimes, we can learn and apply positive attitudes or good habits to our lives, even the bad ones. We live as a poser. We never make things pure and originally from our minds and soul. But, everything that we make is inspired by nature, event, person, or something that we felt, saw, and listened to. They all taught us and inspired us to make or do something, even from small things that sometimes we don’t care about. Behind everyone’s stories, we can bring so many lessons to make us become better humans every day and every second. Always grateful!

Then, whether we realize or don’t, people we have met shape you to become you today, and sometimes that’s what makes you be in a specific position right now. So I hope you can say thank you to everyone that surrounds you. And special thanks to them who make us be the best version in our life. Who encourage us to give our best and push our limits to achieve and pursue our big dream. And sometimes they can be someone very close to you, It could be your parents, It could be your ex, and It could be your closest friend.

Finally, in our journey to achieve something, we know how to be the best version of ourselves. One of its factors is the people who surround us. The people who we frequently meet every time. The people who often we are talking to. And someone who knows who we want to be very detailed is only us. So, let’s decide what do you want to be? And surround yourself with people who could support you to become your best version of yourself! Cheers!
