Loy Machedo's 21 Principles Of Success - Number 13

THE QUALITY OF YOUR   SUCCESS

EQUALS TO

THE QUALITY OF YOUR   FRIENDS WHO SURROUND YOU

Read that sentence again.

And again.

And again.

And again.

Keep reading it until it sinks into system.

The people you surround yourself with – finally determine what your life will become like.

Surround yourself with the following for 5 years and what do you think will happen?

• Bodybuilders

• Marathon Runners

• Exercise Fanatics

• Businessmen

• Professional Speakers

• Online Marketers

• Non-fiction Readers

• Alcoholic

• Sexual Maniacs

I have personally surrounded myself

with these kinds of people

at different phases of my life.

The funny thing is,

when I did surrounded myself with these kinds of people –

eventually parts of their personality started to rub on me.

And at some point, it encompassed my personality completely.

I started thinking like them,

behaving like them,

eating like them,

acting like them,

trying to model them,

reading & researching what they read and researched,

taking part in projects they took part in,

went for training programs they went to and

spend time interacting and

meeting them frequently – so much so –

I became exactly ‘like them’.

So now ask yourself this question

If you were to lock yourself in a room

With 10 of the greatest minds and the greatest leaders the world has ever seen

For one full year

Versus

You being locked in a room

With 10 of your best friends

For one full year

Which one do you think will have the most powerful impact on your life?

So in the same way –

whatever your   goals are –

ask yourself

The people you surround yourself with –

are they kinds whose influence

views, teachings, characteristics, personality traits, values and thoughts

eventually help you reach the top of what you are aiming for?

If the answer is a “no” – then you better get rid of them.

If the answer is an emphatic “yes” – then spend more time with them.
