You cannot hang out with negative people and expect to have a positive life.
According to personal development enthusiast Jim Rohn (https://www.jimrohn.com/) you are, or will become, the average of the five people you spend the most time with so choose wisely. Choose to spend time with those people that motivate you; that provide inspiration; that do what they say they will because surrounding yourself with greatness promotes greatness in you.
There is plenty of evidence to support this claim (http://theincrementallife.com/you-become-who-you-hang-around/, http://lifehacker.com/5926309/how-the-people-around-you-affect-personal-success, http://freedomfastlane.com/you-become-who-you-hang-out-with/, http://www.secretentourage.com/motivation/surround-yourself-with-success-you-are-who-you-hang-out-with/).
