“If you want to know who you are, take a look at your friends.” Familiar with that saying? Or how about “you are the sum of the five people closest to you?”
Both are powerful sayings that are very true. If you take a look at who is closest to you in your life, you will come to find that you have very similar habits and lifestyle preferences as they do, if not immediately then you’re likely on your way to matching their energy and choices in the near future.
And, that’s why it’s ultimately important that you give serious thought to who you surround yourself with and exchange energy with.
If those that you currently fill your life and time with are not mirroring what you want to manifest in your own personal life then you are just making things harder for yourself. Sort of like trying to “swim up-stream” against the tide.
Successful entrepreneurs know this. They are positive people who surround themselves with people who are also positive by nature and positive about their lives and careers, those who bolster and boost that good feeling rather than destroy it.
Truth is, when focused on shifting your mindset from one focused on the negative to one focused on the positive the very first thing you need to address is your own environment and those you are sharing your time and energy with.
Are they taking regular consistent actions that improve their lives? Are they actively learning and do they maintain a high degree of positivity on a day to day basis? If the answer to these questions is no, you’ll be in for a much harder journey ahead.
Understand, this isn’t about ditching friends that are not 100 percent positive, it’s about searching out those that are extreme, that drag you down and doing something about it.
Always focus on the good that people bring into your life…focus on how you feel when you are with them. If the energy shifts to “negative” then you may want to consider how much future time you spend around them. You may want to start looking for new connections, those who’s positive attitude and energy help keep you lifted, confident and feeling good about yourself.
There are infinite amount of groups or classes available locally to most people where they can meet others who share interests, a similar frame of mind and are striving towards similar goals.
The reality is, anytime you are sharing “space” with someone else you are also exchanging energy. So, position yourself for better success by surrounding yourself with those who also desire that. At the same time, you’ll also be building a strong support team around you for when “harder times” hit and you need a bit of a lift.
These people can come from anywhere…they might be your personal trainer, someone you are sharing a class with, a family member or close friend or even an online forum, as long as they represent and possess precisely what it is that you are looking for in your own self they will nurture those qualities in you.
Remember, positive people feel good about themselves and this translates to self-confidence and strong self-esteem. That’s what you want to attract in your life.
