Good Friends And Success

There are all types of people in the world, and in our lives. We need to be careful what people we allow in our inner circle, because these are the people who have the most amount of influence on our success. We need to choose friends based on where we want to go, and where they are going. Our circle of friends include family and a significant other.

One of the hardest things for many people to do is to let go of people in their lives that do not offer support and help when it comes to chasing dreams and goals. We have been taught that there should be a loyalty to people we are related to or to people we have been friends with for a long time. We need to understand what loyalty is, and we need to give our loyalty to people we bring into our circle, however, we also need to be able and willing to withdraw our loyalty from those who no longer are able to serve our direction in life. Everything changes, and those who hold us back because of their lack of ambition or goals, or because of the way they constantly shoot us down when we chase our goals and dreams should be cut lose.

Friends should be people who tell us we are wrong when we are wrong. Not people who tell us what they think we need to hear. Friends are people who lift us up when we fall and help us keep moving. They show us the light when only see darkness, and show us the path when we lose our way. They have goals and dreams of their own and the two of you are able to move closer to the life of your dreams together.

So be mindful of the friends you choose. The people we surround ourselves with are either the stimulus that help us get closer to the life of our dreams, or hold us back from where we want to go. More often than not, the people around us are the biggest reason we succeed or fail. Choose your friends carefully.
