Joel does make sense

our environment can corrupt us, our environment can confuse us.
if u chill in the wrong environment u will eat pig food.
our environment can restrict us.
don't hang around with lazy people, you'll end up lazy.
on a regular basis we need to evaluate our relationships.
people who have no dreams will cause you to have likewise.

"life is too short to be dragged down by other people"

be careful who you eat lunch with.
do they cause u to compromise?

YOU CAN NOT HELP A PERSON THAT WON'T SEPERATE THEMSELVES FROM A BAD ENVIRONMENT
-a small step in the right direction

"i would rather go through a season of loneliness in my life than spend time with people who inhibit my ability to grow"

instead of talking about them, why not hope for the best in them?
we're being influenced whether we realize it or not

bad company infects you with bad character
distance yourself from bad influences.
good people don't have that luxury...

eliminate the people who drag you down

you may have to ruffle a few feathers and spend a few months lonely, but isn't that better than a lifetime of mediocrity?
