in Motivation and Support
If the behavior of the people around you is interfering with your goals, you can either:

1. Change the behavior of the people around you.
2. Change your own behavior in order to achieve your goals, regardless of what's going on around you.

(HINT: Trying #1 will not likely achieve anything, other than distracting you from the challenges of the second option.)

    Choice 3: Stand proud and dont change who you are and take yourself away from those who bring you down. i would rather be alone than surround myself with people I cant stand

    Sometimes you can get rid of people who aren't supportive and sometimes saying, "Sorry kids, Daddy has to move out now. He thinks Mommy is too thin and needs a sandwich," seems a bit extreme.

    I jest to make a point: Everyone in life comes with positives and negatives about them and we have to decide to keep or lose them based on how the balance tips.
