It is said that one's future is decided by faith and everything happens as per its composition. Faith can be the basic guidelines of one's life which decides major incidents in a lifetime, e.g. birth, marriage, death, everything else is done, planned and decided by the person himself. Whatever happens to him or comes forth in his life is a result of deeds he has done earlier in his life.
Deeds can be good or bad and a major influential factor in ones deeds is the surroundings. Like the moon has its effects on the earth, the soil has its effects on the plants and animals, in the same way, if one is surrounded by people who live life the righteous way can influence him/her to do similar influenced deeds.
Great souls have always advised that to lead a righteous life, one should live or spend some time in influence of people who know what they are doing for the welfare of themselves and the society. A collections of positive deeds, positive energy and positive aura, gets one out of all troubles related to influence of negative people, place and energy. According to Indian culture, the place where to live, i.e our house and the place where we work also have a great effect on oneself and influence his deeds, life and activities.
Start early, go slow & do the right.
