Surround yourself with positive influences from "summary" of From Strength to Strength by Arthur C. Brooks
Surrounding yourself with positive influences is a crucial factor in determining your success and happiness in life. This concept is not just about who you spend your time with, but also about the ideas and values that you allow to shape your thinking. Positive influences can come from a variety of sources, such as friends, family, mentors, books, and even the media you consume.
When you surround yourself with positive influences, you are more likely to adopt their optimistic outlook on life. This can help you to maintain a positive attitude, even in the face of challenges and setbacks. Positive influences can also inspire you to set ambitious goals and work towards achieving them. They can push you to strive for excellence and to never settle for mediocrity.
On the other hand, surrounding yourself with negative influences can have the opposite effect. Negative influences can drain your energy and dampen your spirits. They can make you feel discouraged and pessimistic about your prospects. If you allow negative influences to dominate your life, you may find yourself stuck in a cycle of self-doubt and defeatism.
To cultivate positive influences in your life, it is important to be intentional about who you spend your time with and what ideas you allow to shape your thinking. Seek out friends and mentors who uplift and inspire you. Surround yourself with books and media that challenge you to grow and expand your horizons. Be mindful of the conversations you engage in and the messages you internalize.
By surrounding yourself with positive influences, you are creating an environment that nurtures your personal growth and development. You are setting yourself up for success and happiness in the long run. Remember, you have the power to choose the influences that shape your life. Choose wisely, and watch yourself thrive.
