Dumb and Dumber

Everyday of your life what you see, what you hear, what you taste, what you smell, and what you touch influences who you are. The top influence who you are is the people you interact with—you family, friends, acquaintances, significant other, co-workers, classmates, mentors, neighbors, and strangers. I ask the question: Is it possible some people you spend time with make you dumb?

My answer is yes. You're engaging with a friend or a group of friends in a conversation, a physical activity, a social event such as a party or gathering, anything involving interaction. If there is no communication, no engagement, no intellectual and/or physical interaction, then what're you supposed to do. Frustrated? Yes. Dumb? Yes, because you have to lower yourself to get along with the friend or group. Whether you continue to spend time with the friend or group is another discussion.

I'm improving myself. I'm innovating myself. I'm changing myself. I want to be a better conversationalist. I want to be more engaging. I want to be smarter. I want to stay in good physical shape. I want to expand my interests and hobbies to find better ones. These continue improvements, innovations, and changes I attract people like me. I want to project myself who I really am. I want a group of friends who mirror me and each other—we have the chemistry.

Furthermore, I feel it's important to have two or more groups of friends or at least two or more individual friends. I continue to say never stop meeting new people. The next person you meet may be a long term friend, an engaging friend who connects with you.

I Continue To Find Myself Finding Raymond Mar
