Achieve Goals By Changing Friends

"The place where you made your stand never mattered. Only that you were there... and still on your feet."
-- Stephen King

"You've got a lot of choices. If getting out of bed in the morning is a chore and you're not smiling on a regular basis, try another choice."
-- Steven D. Woodhull

"In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock."
-- Thomas Jefferson 

People surrounding you can affect whether you will achieve your goals or not.  It is important that you should surround yourself with people who a positive mind or attitudes.  Many a times, you should have you heard this advice and yet how many times did you ever actually listen and digest it completely the meaning of it.

The average negative person is fully alive and well living in the midst of us. That person is someone who cannot see the vast possibilities that are lying beyond obstacles. The vast possibilities that are just around the corner. Most people including the negative minded, gives up before they succeed.

Because of these negative shortcomings or disappointment for their own failures, or for any other reason, these negative becomes bitter at life. They thinks that life does not offer any other possibilities than the ones they already have. Their own negative outlook prevents him from seeking to improve his current situation. Most of us have a negative people sitting within our circle of friends and families.

Unfortunately, not all of us are blessed with the attitude and temperament to withstand negative criticism. Some people will succeed in life even if they are surrounded by negative people and negative influences. However that is the exception rather than the rule.

You can be deadly sure that their successes are due to other things, or other attributes, and not because of the negative environment they found themselves in. Their successes are attributed more to those things rather than the negative influences they face everyday. They succeed in spite, not because of, the negative thinking people they surround themselves with.

How many times have you actually hear successful investors and business owners saying, stay away from those who puts up obstacles between you and your goals? Too many I would say. If you don't believe me - do your own research. The information is widely available on the internet.

If you are not yet convinced that this is the case, listen to your thoughts and self talk, the next time you come across your negative friends. After you have chatted to them, how do you feel afterward? Do you feel deflated or feel encouraged and empowered to start achieving your goals? I bet they would leave a sour taste in your mouth, making you lose focus in what you need to do to achieve your dreams.

It is not their fault that they are conditioned differently to you. They themselves probably have no idea how they are being perceived by those around them. They probably think that their way of thinking is normal. Don't hate them for being negative but rather accept what they are and do whatever you can to protect your mind from those negative influences.

So, why not begins today to do one of the simplest things you could possibly do to achieve your goals? Cut out all ties with those negative thinking people around you who do nothing to encourage and move you ahead towards your goals. Instead, surround yourself with people who are like minded and who have a more positive outlook about life.
