Surrounding Yourself with the Right Company
So I’ve been thinking heavily on how fortunate I am to have certain people in my space and corner. For a long time I’ve felt that certain people that I allowed in my space weren’t a good fit for my well being, I just didn’t have the sense enough to know it. But I’m learning that we eventually become a product of the people who we surround ourselves with; that’s something I’ve had to learn the hard way. Every one of us has a story and they all contain ups and downs; choices in which we take pride in and decisions we regret making. These can be difficult memories with which we have to live with, but ultimately, it’s about the lessons we can gather from them.
We are all reflections of the people we keep in our lives and interact with on a daily basis. Their actions and behaviors all resonate and subconsciously influence our everyday choices. This is why it’s so important to surround ourself with people who make us happy. People who make us laugh and who help us when we’re in need -- people who genuinely care. They are the ones who are worth keeping in our life; everyone else is just around for a season. And I’ve had to learn that it’s ok to grow about from certain people.
If you want to become wealthy, surround yourself with people who share your goals or who have already achieved them. Want to start your own company?Start networking with established entrepreneurs — people who share the same dreams, or people who have already done what you’re doing. Let life weed out people in your life who you don’t want around. Don’t surround yourself with the toxicity and negativity of the individuals who don't add value to your life; the individuals who have no prosperous impact on you and only want you to stay around to fulfill their needs. Surround yourself with the innovators, the thinkers and the listeners; the individuals who want to set a change and leave a footprint in their life and yours, the ones who are willing to help others before helping themselves. Sometimes we just have to sit and listen to their stories. There’s so much knowledge, truth, and passion behind them. We will definitely be able to learn something from them.
Our environment shapes who we are and who we will become. We’re in total control of our life and the choices we make, so why not place ourself in a positive and engaging environment, one that suits our needs?
