HOW TO HANDLE THE NEGATIVE INFLUENCES IN LIFE

There is some truth in judging someone by the company they keep. It can easily be seen that those around us do influence our attitudes and behavior, for better or worse. And it doesn't surprise many to learn that criminals often consort with criminals and that they promote anti-social activities and influence others to continue such unethical and illegal conduct.

This section of the Criminon Program deals with establishing the skill to chart one's own course in life, with honesty and integrity, and to spot and disassociate from those elements which would tend to lead one astray.

“I have been involved in many programs and courses during my incarceration on this subject, but none are as prolific as this course which allowed me to look within myself and at those around me.  What I’ve learned brought me to the realization that my criminal thinking… was contributed to and a result of suppressive person(s) in my vicinity and life 40 years ago, holding me back in life, stopping me from reaching my goals and potential.

Due to the information obtained from this course, I was able to trace the root cause of my criminal behavior through careful review and reflection of my past family, friends and community surroundings. Revealing several persons involved having antisocial personalities and their influence on many lives.  This course has given me insight and understanding to recognize people who wish me or others ill will or harm, and those who are or should be our friends.”
