Do you choose who you spend time with or do you find yourself allowing others to choose you?
Do your friends challenge you?
Do they inspire you?
Do they teach you things?
Are most of them above your station?
Do they support you when you’re winning and when your’e losing?
Do they call you out when you need calling out?
We are the culmination of the people we surround ourselves with.
Mom and dad were right.
Choose people who inspire you to be a better person, not those who try to pull you down to their level or worse.
I’ve seen in life friends who hurt those around them by hanging with others who think the world owes them, instead of those who work hard to get ahead, or volunteer their time to help the less fortunate.
A big one can be married persons who hang with single people. Then the singles try to make them feel like they are really missing out by being married.
Yet in fact, many of the single people long for the stability of a marriage & family.
The common theme of the over 600 successful persons interviewed on Cars Yeah is that they knew what they wanted and worked a plan to get it. They also surrounded themselves with mentors to help them. And if they slipped and failed, they took stock as to why and started back towards the goal again. Very few were Overnight Successes.
By making good choices you can tinker in the garage and build that dream car, or sit on a barstool and bench race or worse complain about how you will never own a classic car or work your dream job. The choice is yours.
