Be a genuine person, and you will attract genuine people into your life.

Be a positive person, and you will attract positive people into your life.

Be an authentic person, and you will attract authentic people into your life.

Be an ambitious person, and you will attract ambitious people into your life.

Be an enthusiastic person, and you will attract enthusiastic people into your life.

Be a responsible person, and you will attract responsible people into your life.

Be a respectable person, and you will attract respectable people into your life.

Be an honorable person, and you will attract honorable people into your life.


“Be honorable yourself if you wish to associate with honorable people.”


~ Welsh Proverb


Strive to act your best, and you will bring out the best in others. Be as good a person and as good a friend to others as you can be, and you will attract good people and good friends more often than not. Try to be the right kind of person, and you will find that the right kind of people will gravitate toward you.

A Quote for Reflection

~ John Wooden
