If you’re surrounded by the right people, you can’t help but feel supported, inspired, and motivated to be your best self.
I was reminded of this again last night at dinner.
My coach said something to me that has really helped me focus on the right stuff, “Do you ever feel like your head is getting in the way?”
I know I do. Too often, I find myself focusing on the negative, really struggling to get back on track.
So, I started using this little trick to get my thoughts back to the “sunny side of the street.” Whatever negative thought pops up in your head, simply add to the end of the sentence, “until now.”
“Man, I am having such a difficult time with work… UNTIL NOW.”
“My wife and I are really not getting along… UNTIL NOW.”
“I’m not as successful as I should be… UNTIL NOW.”
Why do I share this with you? It all comes back to what I opened with:
If you’re surrounded by the right people, you can’t help but feel supported, inspired, and motivated to be your best self.
And anyone that does not fit that description eliminate (or limit) from your life, your time, or just from giving them access to your energy and emotion. Then, bring in those who do.
We all deserve to feel the best and have the best.
So, make sure you consciously attract those people in your life. And if you find yourself wanting for those positive relationships, remember…it’s only UNTIL NOW!
