Be careful about the people you hang out with; whenever possible try to surround yourself with people who are positive in life.
It is easy to be focused on your own hopes and dreams but it takes just a few seconds to lose all that focus if you are surrounded with fake and unmotivated people who take great pleasure in bringing you down a peg or don’t really want you to succeed because of jealousy.
Connect with those who help you in all your good and bad times and who aim to inspire and encourage you. They can come in many guises and may be coaches, mentors, consultants etc. or just a great friend who sees the potential in you.
