Who are The People Around You?

Remember that not everyone in your house is your true friend. Some are happy for you when you are doing really well in your life. Others are not happy for you when you are doing well in your life.

Whether people are for you or against you, do not let that stop you from living your true life. Do not let other people’s perceptions of you define your life. You have got your life to live, to enjoy. If you are not enjoying it with the people you love, you are not with the right people. You are with the wrong ones. You are with the wrong people.

“Do not spend your time with people who are not for you.”

Life is too short. Life is for you! Live it! But do not live your life with people who are not for you, who are not for your success, who are not for your progress, who are not for your promotion, who are not for your happiness, who are not for your life. Do not hang around people who never stop talking about other people. If you are around talkers, leave them alone. If you are around procrastinators, leave them alone. If you are around bystanders, leave them alone. If you are around confused people, leave them alone. Because if you hang around lazy people, you are going to be like them.

But if you have the courage to walk your talk, to take a leap of faith, to do the impossible, your life will never be the same again. Whether you are okay with it or not, if you want to grow in your life, if you want to achieve your dreams, you have got to move away from people who are not for you. If you do not move away from the wrong minds, you are not going to achieve your dreams. Yes, you need people to help you succeed. Yes, you cannot succeed alone. But you do not need the wrong people in your life to succeed. Do not bring everybody into your life. Because you are a special Being!

You Are Not Going To Be Successful If You Do Not Understand Your Soul

Plato once said, “Are you not ashamed that you give your attention to acquiring as much money as possible, and similarly with reputation and honor, and give no attention or thought to truth and understanding and the perfection of your soul.” We do not do that. We want other people to do it for us.

When we fail, we blame others. We do not take responsibility for our own lives. Look, whether you know it or not, whether you want to accept it or not, if you want things to get better for you, you have got to stop blaming other people for your own problem, for your own mistake, for your own failure. They are not responsible for your failure. You are responsible for where you are in your life.

“If you want to be successful in your life, you must take 100% responsibility for your life.”

So if you want things to change, you have got to change your mindset; you have got to start doing something new; you have got to start taking responsibility for your life. You are where you are because you never take responsibility for your life. You are where you are because you never work on yourself. You are where you are because you didn’t do what you were supposed to do to change your life. Instead, you were busy pleasing the people around you. You were busy living other people’s lives. You never take ownership of your own life.

“If your soul is not happy with you, you are not going to be happy with yourself.”

Look, if you cannot own your life, then why is it your life? Do not fear yourself. Do not fear your future. If you prepare for tomorrow, you will enjoy tomorrow. But if you ignore tomorrow, tomorrow will ignore you. You can change your life. You can change the direction of your life. To do that, you must understand your soul. It is important.

Remember, If your soul is not happy with you, you are not going to be happy with yourself. You are not going to be able to make peace with yourself if you are not willing to listen to your soul. When your soul is okay, you are okay. Just listen to your soul. Because you are not going to be successful if your soul is not happy with your goal. Focus on your soul. Understand it. And you will find success in your life.
