Look around…Why Not?

Who Are You Surrounded By? Remember, it is *your* Choice!

What kinds of people do you attract? What kinds of people do you currently have around you? Who is a part of your life? Who are your best friends?

I encourage you today to take a brief moment of reflection. Grab your DBI Notepad and write dow the following:

- Who are your closest friends?
- For each one of them answer the following questions:
1. What do I most appreciate in this person?
2. Spending time with this person lifts my spirit or drags me down?
3. Is it their desire that I become a better, happier, more successful person?
4. Will I be able to help this person achieve their goals while they help me achieve mine?
5. Do I feel that there is an harmony in the give/take in our relationship?
6. Is there respect & kindness in this relationship with this person?

If you answered NO to more than 2 questions then you should reconsider the place this person occupies in your life. If you spend a large amount of time with this person, re-think this and consider pulling away. From this moment forward, consider very carefully only getting closer and spend the bulk of your time with people who BELIEVE in you! Surround yourself with friends who support your dreams and life purpose in some way.

And while you are at it, make a commitment that NMW (No Matter What) you will now become the friend you are looking for in others: Be supportive! Be respectful! Be Kind! Support your friends goodness and dreams! Be of help to them in becoming the best individuals they can be NOW!

Now list five people who can help you achieve your dreams and aspirations.  Then go find them and become committed to support them in the achievement of their dreams and aspirations!!! Hold hands with them in accomplishing goals! :)

“One of my best moves is to surround myself with friends who, instead of asking “Why?”, are quick to say “Why Not” That attitude is contagious!”~Oprah Winfrey

Moving forward, regardless of who you have been surrounded by up until now, choose to just surround yourself with people who uplift you! In that journey make sure you uplift everyone you cross paths with! Why Not Do That? Why Not???
