Profound advice

What’s the most profound piece of advice you’ve been given? Did you take it?

The most profound piece of advice that I’ve been given and took on board was to surround myself with good people.  This advice came from my brother David when I was first diagnosed with my mental illness back in the day.  I took that advice very seriously and now only let people with the very best intentions be a part of my life.  I lost some people from my life around that time, but it was no great loss, they weren’t true friends in the end, now I am surrounded by wonderful people and eternally grateful and gracious for what I have.
