Life is complicated. Why must things be so difficult? Why do people complicate things so much? There is complication because people try to avoid it. If you try your hardest not to get involved in something, you will eventually get sucked in. It will eventually take a hold on you. You can do your best to avoid it, but it will eventually get to you. There’s an old French Proverb that goes like this: “People sometimes meet their fate on the road they took to avoid it.” That is an amazing quote isn’t it? Think about that a second. You meet your destiny on a road that you took that you thought would avoid something. Something that may have been crucial in your life. Change one thing, and all will change.

I watch the people that walk in and out of my life, and it really is amazing. Some of them come and go, and will never return. Others I will die knowing. Do these people play a part? Sure they do, they play a huge part. Each and every person you know alters our life. Each one will change it significantly, especially if they are very influential. They affect it in ways that are almost unthinkable. That comes back to the point of using the term “friend” to easily. You have to be careful who you choose to hang around with, and ask yourself, “Am I a better person when I’m with him or her?” This goes for relationships as well. You need someone that you know is going to lift you up, and make you feel good. If they don’t bring you up, what other way is there to go?
