Inspiration of the Day - 3/3/11

By associating with wise people you will become wise yourself.
Menander

Success breeds success.  I know you have heard that saying before.  And if you want to be successful, hang around successful people.  It's a proven method, not just a saying.  The people we choose to surround ourselves with have a direct affect on how we act and how we are looked upon.  Nobody really cares what anyone else thinks about them...we are not insecure...but when it comes to how someone important is viewing you, who you are surrounded by at the time they are paying attention to you has all the weight in the world.  You never know who is watching you and what opportunities are just a step away just from a person of influence being impressed by the way you conduct yourself.

Not only that, but the people you choose to surround yourself with will have an impact on the way you think and view life.  Their attitudes and habits WILL rub on you sooner or later.  There is fighting it.  We are social creatures that adapt to our surroundings.  That's why we've survived as a human race for thousands of years...we adapt well.  Hang around negative attitudes too much and pretty soon you will have one.  Stay around positive people and you'll find yourself at ease, drama free.  Try it and see what happens.  You'll feel the difference.  Moving from a negative to positive environment is like lifting a 1000 lb. weight off of your shoulders. 

Have a good day!
