Hanging out

There are two ways to grow yourself and get great results.

1 Work on yourself.

Read great self growth material, watch videos that inspire you, go on workshops to experience new ways of doing and thinking. Meditate to find that inner peace. Take a class to add to your skill set. There are so many ways to work on yourself and you should do as many as you can.

2. Be aware of your environment

Most of us are the sum total, or the average of all those who we hang out with. Who we spend our time with dictates almost 90 % of what we think, our attitudes and often how we feel.

Mix with a crowd that has average ambitions and thats most likely what you will end up with average expectations.

My life long mentor said this to me many years ago.

If you meet a super successful person, go up, introduce yourself and shake their hand, success rubs off them and onto you.

What he meant, both literally and metaphorically is that the more you mix with highly successful people the more their way of thinking, being, acting becomes a part of who you are.

Its inevitable.

The power of negativity

People with a negative outlook are infectious. Take a look around you and see what happens when things don't go right. Some person will start moaning and complaining and before you know it others will join in. Negativity is twice as strong as positivity.

This means you have to take control and remove yourself from negative talk. Don't allow it into yourself, don't expose yourself to it. Don't let others use your ears as trashcans for their rubbish.

We know that success comes to those who first expect it so there is no place for negativity in a success mindset.

Live in a positive environment

Gravitate towards the people that you want to emulate. surround yourself with positivity. rub shoulders with successful people. Talk to them, ask them questions, seek out their advice, take on a mentor.

Successful people have already been there, they know what it takes, they know the pitfalls and the hacks. You can only learn from them by being closer to them, but most of all you pick up their mental process, their mentality, their attitudes.

Treat yourself like a seed.

A seed needs the right of soil to grow in, it needs sunlight and water to nourish it to allow it to grow tall and healthy.

What conditions are you currently planting your seed in?

Self mastery is not only mastering yourself but also your environment.
