Your Friends Control Who You Are - so choose them WiselyThey say you can judge a person by the friends they keep, and I think this is true on several levels. That saying means that you can tell a lot about someone by knowing who they keep as friends. But many life coaches know that the friends you have also shape who you are. You spend a lot of time with your friends, and you look to them for approval and support. So their influence can be large. That all sounds great, but this is a cycle of influence which can act to keep people in small unhappy lives. Here's how. You choose your friends based on who you are comfortable with. They support your self-image and your values. Which is another way of saying they can prevent you from growing. Other factors can come into play; do you have friends who send you chocolate when you're on a diet? Or friends who tell you to back away from a scary challenge - or who keep you tied into destructive habits? We can see friends in a new light - as people who can help us to grow as human beings. Such friends may not be as unswervingly supportive or predictable, but they will be one of the most pleasant and interesting ways there is for you to become a better, happier person. Here are my top tips for maximizing the benefits of your friendships:
Of course, you may find huge comfort in long-familiar, predictable and unconditionally supportive friends, and if so, you should keep at least one on your list! But it might be worth considering how adding some new and different blood into your social set might help you towards your new, happier life.
