'The greatest reveution of our generation is the discovery that human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives'. (William James)

Drop yourself out of the 'ain't it awful' club... and surround yourself with successful people!

'You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with' (Jim Rohn)

If you are a parent, you may recognise this even with your children who are very young. You perhaps know that you don't want your children to hang out with 'those kids' because you know how powerful association can be. Sometimes we forget this later on in our lives yet the same principle and potency still applies. You become like the people you spend the most time with.

Drop Out Of The 'Ain't It Awful' Club'

'Pay any price to stay in the presence of extraordinary people' (Mike Murdock)

'Confidence is contagious. So is a lack of confidence' (Vince Lombardi)

Be Selective

'There are two types of people - anchors and motors. You want to lose the anchors and get with the motors becasue the motors are going somewhere and they're having more fun. The anchors will just drag you down'. (Wyland)

'I just do not hang around anybody that I don't want to be with. Period. For me, that's been a blessing, and I can stay positive. I hang around people who are happy, who are growing, who want to learn, who don't mind saying sorrying or thank you... and are having fun' (John Assaraf)

'Surround yourself with only people who are going to lift you higher'. (Oprah Winfrey)

Really liked this post @luppers, particularly “Drop out of ain’t it awful club” as herds tend gather around negative energy but we don’t have to join the club. We have a choice and our choices have consequences - so need to choose wisely & carefully.

That sounds very wise. I like the quotation in the picture. It was a topic of conversation that I was having with some friends last night, the pressure in society to be in a relationship. However being in solitude and single can be a good an healthy pursuit. It also reinforces how much we need to work on ourselves before maybe having a partner, because the things that we need to work on will come up anyway. Great thoughts, thank you for sharing. Please share some more in future posts. 100% upvote!!!

wow @ Luppers great piece! i am also thinking the anchors could come in hand because as you move forward they will hold you firm to prevent you from drifting away

That is true, it is important to be centred and not fall off track sometime. Great thoughts, feel free to share more in the future!!! 45% upvote!!
