I was reading an article on addicted2success and it really opened my eyes. We have all been told the importance of hanging with the right people but do we actually act on this knowledge ? A great example is the doctor that eats the bulk of his meals at McDonalds. After taking a step back and really looking at my own life and who is in my circle I can see that 90% of the people I put myself around are not going down the path I am in life. They have very little ambition. Most have very bad work ethic. They have bad habits and worst of all they don't even want to be helped. It is like these people don't even care. ( And there is nothing wrong with that. Some people are happy living an average simplistic life. More power to them). But If you are anything like me, you aspire to live an extraordinary life and become the best person you can possibly become. I feel like "Fastlane self growth" Starts with surrounding yourself with extraordinary people. It gives you a higher standard to live up too and that forces you to grow as a person.
While I know it can be extremely difficult sometimes to find these people in real life ( Your hometown) I feel it is worth it the effort. Just this one simple step can open the doorway to many new opportunity's and expand your horizons exponentially. I know first hand. I met a real estate millionaire that opened my eyes to many new business ideas and concepts that I would have never known otherwise. And that was just a couple conversations with this man. This is powerful stuff !
My advice is not to break friendships. Try to help your long time friends if possible. My advice is to simply take a step back and make sure you put yourself around people that are going to push you forward not backwards.
I provided a link to the page that I am referring to below. I hope this helps someone else here as it has helped me take a step back and take a look.
