Which one is your favorite?

I think mine is “avoid negative people at all costs.”  That is often hard to do when our friends and family do not support or believe in you.

That’s why it’s so important to surround yourself with positive people.  People who truly believe in you and want you to succeed.

Here’s a picture of the group of people I choose to surround myself with.  They are not only my team but they are my extended family.
