surround yourself with greatness

Surround yourself with those who want to become more, those who are striving to achieve something great, those who empower you and push you to be better, those people who make you raise your standards to a higher level, and those who make you believe in yourself that you can achieve greatness. Surround yourself with those who want more from life, those who are working towards making the world a better place, those individuals who you can learn from, and those who are driven to succeed.

Take a look at the people whom you associate with would you like to trade places with them, are they adding value to your life, are they good people, are they people who make you better or worse, are these peoples values aligned to yours, do they aspire to reach greater heights in life, are they doing more or are they just sitting around.

Taking an example from one of my favorite series 2 broke girls, Max and Caroline’s friendship is a proof that if you invest in the right relationships, it is a win-win! It’s high time you took a step back and evaluate those relationships and friendships before it becomes too late. Their friendship was not perfect but they were able to settle their differences and push forward. Friends play a major influence on your life, there is nothing wrong in spending time with friends once in a while but if you spend a majority of your time with your friends and they have bad habits, no ambition, no goals, no plans, no dreams, and no drive to get up and make more of their life, then you have to reduce the amount of time you spend with them. It is not about abandoning your friends, it is about focusing on success, and once you reach a stage that you are satisfied with you can help them raise their standards and their lives, but in the beginning you have to stop wasting major time engaging in minor activities with average people.

Surround yourself with those who are pushing the limits and living life on their terms, greatness is contagious, your life can only improve if you surround yourself with winners.
