Conscious Selection.

We tend to reflect the nature of those we spend the most time around.

Husbands take on some personalities of their wives. Wives take on some personalities of their husbands. Children of their parents. This is simply human nature.

It's important that we identify the traits and values that we find desirable in the world around us and consciously work towards adopting these while discipling ourselves to block out the ones we don't. This is something I call Conscious Selection.

Conscious Selection is a form of controlled human evolution that is created through gathering valuable experiences, generating learnings from these experiences and then adapting to them continuously. By doing this, we are able to reflect these learned, desirable traits  and values to the next generation and weed out the ones that will weigh them down.

Make it a point to surround yourself with people who hold the values you desire. Spend enough time around them and you will begin to reflect what you love.
