Do You Really know Who Your Friends Are?

Friends are important. The question is, ‘Do you really know who your friends are?’ Do you know what they are doing? Do you know how they treat other people? Do you know how they talk about things they do not understand? Do you know what they do when they are alone? Do you know what they are going after in life? Do you know what they like? Do you know what they do not like?

What about you? How do they talk about you? How do they treat you? Do they celebrate you when you win something? What about when you lose? Do they get angry when you tell them something great about yourself? Are they willing to work with you? Are they mean to you? Are they jealous of you?

Look, friends are important to you, to me, to others. But no one wants to be around people who are going to make you unhappy. No one wants to be with a bad friend, a jealous sucker. No one wants to be with a terrible person.

If you are not comfortable with your friends, you have a choice: move away from them.

If you do not, you are fooling yourself.

Is Success Possible Without Integrity?

Can you make it in life without integrity?

Can you succeed in your life without integrity?

Can you move forward in your life without telling yourself the truth?

Can you change your life without being honest with yourself?

I do not think so. It is not possible to make it in life without other people. If you do not have integrity, if people do not trust you, if they do not believe in what you are saying,

if they cannot see a path forward, they are not going to do anything with you.

If you want to make it in life, do not lie to yourself.

Do not lie to other people. When you say something, do it. If you cannot do it, tell them why you cannot do it.

Remember, if you do not have integrity, your success is not going to make you happy. Why is that? Because you were not honest with yourself.
