It is advisable to distance yourself from those who do not support your goals, even if they are considered "friends." The people you associate with can subtly but significantly alter the course of your life. If you keep company with cynics, their negativity is likely to drag you down into despair. Conversely, connecting with individuals who genuinely wish for your happiness and success marks the most critical step toward achieving them. Passion for life is contagious; therefore, surrounding yourself with optimistic people allows you to see more hope and possibility in life.
