Show me your Friends and I'll Show You Your Future

Are you struggling to reach greater success in your life? Or do you feel like you lack the motivation or the encouragement to achieve your greatest goals? If so, then you should reevaluate your relationships. Are your relationships helping you and pushing you towards your goal or simply to be a better person? Or do you feel like some of your relationships are holding you back?

Well let me tell you this now, BEWARE OF DREAM STEALERS, LEECHES, ENERGY SUCKERS AND NEGATIVE PEOPLE!!!

Watch this video to learn why!

 

 

My mentor has always shared with me that you are a product of who you hang around with. If you hang out with 5 negative friends, then you will ultimately be the 6^th negative person. On the contrary, if you surround yourself with 5 positive friends or influences you will be the 6^th positive person. Same goes for success… if you long to be successful, you have to surround yourself around like-minded people; you need to spend a lot of time with people who are already successful. Why? Because what better and easier way to reach success than by learning from those who have already achieved it? Additionally it is important to be surrounded by like-minded people who will support you and push you towards your goals.

Your relationships will ultimately define your outcome in whatever you do. If you want to be a millionaire, you need to build million dollar relationships. If you want to simply be happy, then you need to spend time around happy people. It’s simple.  And yet so many of us constantly surround ourselves around people who downplay our successes and criticize our goals, dreams and aspirations.

I warn you, stay clear of these people!!

These people suck the life and energy out of you. If you are around people like this, you should limit your time with them and start finding ways to get around people who think like you and already have what you want.

Now I am not saying that you should cut all ties with these toxic people. Some of these people are those you really care about and who also care about you; like your parents or siblings for example, or even your best friend. These people are likely a big part of your life, so it is not necessarily imperative or healthy to cut off all ties. What I am saying, however, is to limit your time with these people. My mentor is always fond of saying, “I can spend a couple of hours with them, but not 24 hours; I can spend a day with them but not two days; I can spend a week with them, but not a month, etc.” It is important to be around your friends and your family, but if they are toxic for you, it is equally important to be around people who inspire you and motivate you.

More often than not we have to fight for what we want, and an essential way is to build and sustain relationships that are appropriate to our goals, ambitions and well-being, while also protecting ourselves from negative environments. So find ways to network. You can do so by attending various networking events and seminars that you can find online!! You can also watch motivational videos online and read motivational blogs like this one! This is time well spent with both people and tools that will inspire you towards achieving your goals!

Now remember, Napoleon Hill, author of Think and Grow Rich, said, “what the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve,” now you just have to find others who also believe in themselves and who believe in you!

You can do it!! Let's go!!!!

Using Newton's 3rd Law to Get the Results You Want

• Newton’s Law of Motion: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

• Karma: What goes around comes back around.

• Swami Vivekananda: “We reap what we sow. We are the makers of our own fate. The wind is blowing; those vessels whose sails are unfurled catch it, and go forward on their way, but those which have their sails furled do not catch the wind. Is that the fault of the wind?....... We make our own destiny.”

Here are three findings that, although said in different ways, have the same meaning. This is why we must spread love, generosity and life in what we think, say and do instead of spreading hate, greed and death. If you love others, you will be loved in return; if you hate others, you will be hated in return. If you give unsparingly to others, you will be rich; If you are selfish and take from others, you will be unfulfilled. If you speak life unto others, you will have lived a great life; if you influence death unto others, along with them you will die, too.

It all comes down to our thoughts, our feelings and our words. If you watched the video, there are specific representations of this subject: the boy represents us as humans, how we throw the ball to the ground represents our feelings, the actual action of the ball being thrown represents our actions, the response of the ground represents our world and how the ball comes back to us represents our results. For example, if you think about throwing the ball hard, you’ll get a pang of adrenaline and then you’ll throw the ball hard to the ground; when the ball hits the ground, the earth will respond by throwing the ball back to you just as hard.  

 

More specifically, having certain thoughts elicits certain feelings, and these feelings influence our actions, and our actions influence the results we have in our lives. A negative thought ultimately leads to negative results. If I spread negativity into the world, then I am going to experience the same negativity. Likewise, if I think, feel and act with negativity, I will also attract negativity. The same goes for positivity. So, if you have been unable to create the positive results or outcomes in your business, in your relationships or in your life, then check your feelings and then check your thoughts that provoke these feelings. If you are aware of how you think, you can change yourself and change your results for the better.

 

However, even when we are aware of how we think about things, sometimes it is difficult to change our thoughts. This is where the power of words comes into play. We have the ability to speak things into existence. Have you ever heard that life and death is in the tongue? Well this is true! Speak and generate positivity into the world and it will come back to you!  If you do this emphatically, and if you do this daily throughout your day, your thoughts will begin to change towards the positive, and so will your feelings, your actions and your results. 

If you are struggling to lead the life you love, it is still possible to turn your results around!
Your results are a direct reflection of your thoughts. Change your thoughts, and you can change your life. :-)

Gratitude --> Success

Being content and happy goes a long way. Many of us have big dreams, goals and aspirations to fulfill. We have many desires that we focus on and continually think about. That is just how we are as people and as entrepreneurs. However, you must take caution in what you think about and how you think about things. It has been said that you become and you get what you think about most… so if you always think about success, if you always think about your goals and aspirations, then in some way and some day through your efforts they will manifest. As an entrepreneur you must always hold onto your vision, which should fuel your actions. This is very, very true.

However, a lot of the times when we think about our goals and desires we get discouraged, we may feel anxiety or we may feel outright negative because we haven’t achieved them yet. This feeling of negativity will negate your success. Remember that what you think dictates how you feel and how you feel dictates your actions, which dictates your results. So if you have a negative feeling about what you want but don’t have, then you may never acquire these desires. It is great to take action, but if your thoughts and your feelings are not in a positive place about what you want, then you may never achieve what you want.

So, the question then is, how do we stay positive when focusing on our desires? The answer is, don’t always focus on your desires. Focus on what you do have that makes you happy. So many of us when we think about or write our goals and desires focus on what we don’t have, and we never focus on what we do have. This leads to dangerous territory because this leads you out of the state of gratitude. Gratitude is the most important state to be in, in life. Gratitude leads to happiness, and with gratitude, you will receive positive outcomes. So for everything that you desire, you should think of something that you desire that you already have. For example, in the future I want my own family, but I also am so thankful for the friends and family I have today; I desire a great and loving relationship with my friends and with my parents, and I have this!! With gratitude you operate on a higher and more positive frequency, and that is what you attract.

We attract who and what we are, which is determined by how we think. So in order to attract what we desire, we must acknowledge and be thankful for what we already have. We must operate in a state of gratitude and happiness. Because good only comes to those who are good, and people are only good if they foster positive thoughts, feelings and actions. Now when you add love and passion for what you do, you will be unstoppable, for to be in a state of love, passion and gratitude is the ultimate human experience that brightens our existence. Try it.

Instead of fretting about what you don’t have, appreciate what you do have. Operate in a state of happiness and gratitude and see how far you get in achieving your desires!
