Who you hang around with defines who you are...
Why?
Your life will revolve around no more than 20 close friends.
Those 20 friends became your friends because of a commonality between you and him/her. For example, if you like smoking blunts and you meet a cool drug dealers, you will probably become friends over time.
Because of that, you will used all your time/resources with those 20 friends. Think about it, how many close friends/family do you really have? So if you have a friend with whom you smoke weed, you will waste a huge quantity of time with that person.
And that person's 20 friends will also become your friends because he will, over time, introduce you to his friends. And because he is a drug dealer, all his friends will also be related with Mary Jane. He will not know any business men or successful people.
If your goal in life is to be the boss of a drug cartel, or anything else that's bad, then having a friend who does that will help you tremendously. And vice versa. If you just smoke blunts for fun, you will most likely become involved in the drug trade without even wanting to be in it.
So, knowing what your goal in life is (whether be a rap star, lawyer, etc) you have to meet people who follow your same path. The more successful they are, or the more money/connections they have, the easier your goal will be achieve.
In that case, analyze your life. What is your goal? Are your current friends slowing you down? Do they have any kind of connections that will help you achieve your goals? You will be surprise of the useless things you do with some friends, such as just "walking around in the mall." Also, your friends "beliefs" will alter your beliefs...If you have a friend with whom you connect with by smoking blunts, and he likes rock music while you like rap (and your goal is to become a rap star) then he will slow you down by saying how stupid rap is, etc. All the conversation about how much he hates rap will only slow you down. Now let's say you dump this friend and meet someone who likes rap. This new friend will gladly talk about rap with you and will help you analyze rapping in a way that you never thought possible.
