? do you Reset your list of friends and associates for the New Year

I was looking at my cell phone and saying to myself, 'who in the hell is this?'.. numbers i got so randomly from here and there throughout the year clutter my phone, and i don't even like being on the phone. i usually tell myself 'you'll never know when your going to need that number'. but fuck that. not anymore.. there is no need to hold on to certain people going into next year and i think that you should evaluate who needs to be given a pink slip out of your life. now i'm not referring to business connections. business is always business.. Don't be foolish either. don't read this and take the words out of context. we as humans when thinking over situations in our lives have the tendency to receive affirmation about a particular thought, and then automatically pull the trigger. and a lot of the time it's not the correct decision. it just takes too much out of us to rationalize our thoughts and come up with the best alternative.. less work, why not.. You should analyze a couple of things.. one being. what purpose does this person serve in my life?. another being. is this person progressing in life? and progress has nothing to do with money or status. it has to do with simply put, 'are you better today than you were yesterday'. if you reply no, i don't want any parts of you.. There are so many more question that you can come up with those were just a few examples.. it's kind of like stages if you will.. strangers turn into associates. associates turn into friends. and friends turn into great friends. just take those 4 levels and ask yourself if that person is moving up or down on your list. if you find that your list is getting smaller then your probably getting older, and your on the right track.. friendship is not something you just give away, it's something that is earned... what do you think?
