‘The ideal community is supportive, believes in you, and makes you feel good when you’re with them.’- Claudia Chan

Life is not about us. It is more than us. Life is about other people in our lives. We need others. And they need us. If those around you are not making you better, they are the wrong people in your life.

If you feel empty when you are with them, you are around the wrong people. If they are not for your dreams, then you have got look for people who will there for you.

Remember, your dreams start with you, but you can’t make them happen alone. Because we are better when we work with other people. We do more when we are around the right people. We are happier when we are with the right people. There is nothing wrong with hanging out with people who are different from us.

The question is, ‘Are they supporting you? If they are not supporting you, they are not supposed to be in your life.

But if you are serious about attracting the best into your life, you must first decide what you want to achieve in your life.

If you want the best around you, be the best to others. Remember that the people in your life can make or break you.

Positive people are people makers. They are builders. They are supporters. On the other hand, negative people are naysayers. They are destroyers. They are breakers. If you are serious about your life, you must surround yourself with people who are doing things, who are changing the world.

The best people are everywhere. If you want them to come to you, you must go to them. Get out of your comfort zone.

When you are out there, you never know what you are going to get. It is better to be out there than to get stuck in your comfort zone.

Great people want to hang around other great people. If you want them in your life, focus on what you can do for other people. When you meet people, do not focus on what is wrong, but on what is right.

When you look for more right, you will get more right. When you focus on what is wrong, you will get more wrong.

When you meet people, especially people who are different from you, just focus on asking as many questions as possible.

Ask great questions to get great answers, to know more about them. The more questions, the better.

Finally, when you are with people, be there. Don’t judge them. Just listen to what they have to say. Guess what, they have a lot to say. To hear them, you must listen.

Don’t Focus Too Closely On A Problem

‘If you only look at that one event, then it appears bigger and bigger.

If you focus too closely, too intensely, on a problem when it occurs,

it appears uncontrollable.

But if you compare that event with some other greater event,

look at the same problem from a distance,

then it appears smaller and less overwhelming.’

– Dalai Lama and Howard C. Cutter, MD., A Handbook for Living The Art of Happiness
