Choose the right fellow traveler on the road for happiness and leave all the rest behind!
Everyone of us can engage in any field and do an excellent job on a personal level, planning goals and using all the tools available in the best way possible.
However, if you’re surrounded by people who work against you or, unconsciously, distract you from your goals, it will be hard to achieve what you want.
Define your goals, decide your plans for happiness and, only afterwards, make a list of the people who affect you for any reason, in any possible way.
Focus on your mission, vision, identity and value, and wonder if these people have already made it, if they have already succeeded in your field, if this relation will help you reach your goals faster, if they can be an inspiration, if they can help you on your way and if they are “aligned” with you.
Sometimes, some acquaintances need a re-assessment based on the impulse they give you to constantly raise the bar of your goals.
When you choose a mentor in each field/area you want to improve in, you will always have a positive and pro-active attitude and you will feel motivated, encouraged, helped and monitored in your progresses.
Focus on what you want from life, because this is a fundamental attitude to reach your goals.
The Value of Relation is always the core concept, so ask yourself who you really care for and who really cares for you.
Keep away from “energy vampires”, who drain your energies in a one-way energy exchange, leaving you empty and distracted from your goals.
“Vampire” doesn’t necessarily mean malignancy or bad intentions: Often, these people have their own psychological rocks and tend to dump their difficulties on their next of kin. They’re never aware of it, but use your energy instead of acting to solve their own problems.
Choosing the people to be surrounded by is fundamental to reach your destination and share with them your future success!
You can tell yourself by the company you keep!
