Environment Can Be A Difference Maker
“Make a conscious effort to surround yourself with Positive, Uplifting, and Nourishing People – people who believe in you, encourage you to go after your dreams, and applaud your victories.” - Jack Canfield
The people you are around and the environment you choose to place yourself in, can make all the difference in how you perform, how joyful and positive you are, and how successful you become.
People that are surrounded by positive people are usually more effective than people that are surrounded by negative people.
This is why high performers normally spend more time with positive people!
“They are more strategic and consistent in seeking to work with others, at or above their level of competence, experience, or overall success.“ – Brendan Burchard
So it is great to surround yourself with people, but being intentional and strategic with the type of people is important too.
It doesn’t mean everyone in your life is a Pollyanna, always positive and upbeat, because we all are human.
We all have our challenges and our hard days. That is ok because that is all part of being human.
But what are the people you surround yourself with like overall? At the core of who they are.
What do they truly believe?
Are they high achievers?
Remember what Jim Rohn said, “You're the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”
So think about that. Who are you spending the most time with?
It is important to choose wisely who gets your time.
Time is a precious commodity and you should spend it wisely.
Choose people with Energy and Purpose.
People who avoid drama.
“People on the path of Purpose don’t have a lot of time for drama.” -Brendon Buchard
Drama just eats up your time and energy.
And, you only have so much energy to use, so being intentional in this area is so important. You want to use your energy for good and purposeful activities.
This is why good habits help to propel you to high performance.
“You’ll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.” -John C. Maxwell
Good Habits are found in your daily routine.
Something you do on a consistent and daily basis.
Good habits make you more productive and successful.
“Successful people are simply those with successful habits.” -Brian Tracy
And that comes through intentional choices.
One tiny decision after another.
"The seed of every habit is a single, tiny decision." - James Clear
One of those decisions is who you choose to hang out with… and what environment you place yourself in.
So today, make good choices with where you go and who you’re with… and you will find it can make all the difference in how you feel and do today and for days to come.
You are Blessed by God with the ability to choose, so use it wisely.
Remember…
You get to Live the Life You Choose!
