And when I changed my friends, things began to change.
When you are young it is difficult to change your friends and most people feel lucky that they had been accepted and included in the group.
But as an adult you realize that if you want to change your life, sometimes you have to change your friends.
If you look at your friends today, it is likely that you are the exact average of them in terms of income, interests and ambition, because you attract and are attracted to people who are like you.
There is definitely a sense of freedom and reinvention to changing friends, but it can also be a very lonely path.
Start engaging in new activities and interests that will bring you into close proximity with the people you would like to keep up with.
No matter how you go about making new friends, it will take time, courage, and an openness to meeting new people. But it is worth it if you want to make your dreams a reality.
You just need to decide, do you want to continue to be average that follows others or an adult that walks tall to the beat of your own.
