It’s obvious that if you are surround by negative people all the time, chances are that you will become negative too after a while. We are influenced by our entourage, how they think, behave and dream. This topic was one of my motivational episode last month. And although it’s hard to face it, sometimes, we are stucked in place, because we refuse to move forward when moving forward also means changing « entourage. Whether is a big brother or mentor who’s made the big life moves we haven’t made yet pr just people who think like us, who dream like us who are willing to do what needs to be done . It’s all about evaluate who are the people you spend most time with and evaluate if those people will really be those that will help you get to the next level you want to get to. Do they push you forward when you come to them with new ideas, no matter what? Or do they tell you that what you have in mind won’t work?
« Surround yourself only with people who are going to take you higher. » Oprah Winfrey
The way I understand it not to reduce people to economic tradeoffs by weighing their personality traits, not at all, from my perspective, it’s not about choosing people who will make you successful, it’s just about being surround by people who give you positive energy and make you feel good.
What do you think ?
I want to be sure to understand it very good Grace, you can not choose every person you have in your life, I don’t have a lot of people who motivate me but my wife do it very good. Can you send me a translation of this quote please ?
Jérôme, it really all depends on how you want your life to be after all, I sent you the french version.
You are going to normally
Thanks for the « trick » feedback sweetie !
You know Grace I agree with this quote. My most recents problem last year made me think about the importance of having quality people in our life. Today, I’d rather have a tight-knit, small inner circle of people in my life that positively lift me way up in life, over a bunch of people that just surround me, that don’t positively contribute to my life.
Anton, thanks for sharing this story. I definitely like hearing all of you testimonies. Thanks for reading dear !
Merci pour la traduction I hope you will do a motivation episode with this subject Grace ?
You’re welcome Jérôme, I’ll probably do un update o
This is so very true Grace, you have choose a good quote for us today! I remember your episode of motivation about this thema. I too try to surround myself with positive people who will challenge me. You are one of them, you inspire, motivate, and move me. I hope I’m too.
Riccardo, glad I could help out with my mondays, very touched by your sweet words dear ! Thanks for reading…
My granpa use to say if you want to get on better business and life you need to surround yourself with smart people rather than negative or immature people. Hard to do Grace. I like very much O magazine and her classes.
Tiffany, that’s a great suggestion from your grand father. Thanks for reading I should check out her classes. See you !
