Your environment, the people you have around you, is one of the most important factors in achieving your goals and eventually living your dream life. Before I started taking myself and who I wanted to be seriously, I used to surround myself with negative people. People chose me, and whoever wanted to be with me, I'd let them do so. Even at school, I used to be around guys I genuinely didn't like as much, and their values and approach to life were completely different from mine. And either I wanted it or not, I started being like them. I would be lazier, I would gossip, and I would talk about girls disrespectfully. And it all changed when I took my life seriously. I genuinely remember going on my Instagram following list and unfollowing every friend or person I actually didn't like. I started being like the friends I would want to have. And eventually I met them. I now have a great circle of friends. Some of them I work with, some of them I plan with, and some of them are my mentors. The magic? I started becoming like them, more hardworking, more faithful, more positive. And when I was around people who had already grown their business and had made tons of money, it made me feel like I was already rich. I experienced this shift firsthand, and I can tell you guys, fix your circle, and everything else follows. If you try to fix everything else but not your circle, you'll eventually fall back to the standards of your guys.

Financial freedom, a nice body, an aligned partner, travel, everything you ever really wanted. Everyone likes the idea, everyone dreams of having those things, and everyone imagines themselves being in that position. The problem? To get there, you will have to pay a price and make tradeoffs. And once people see what it really costs (embarrassment, failure, loneliness, stress, discomfort, etc.) They simply are not willing to pay. They remain in the idea. They remain in the blunt visualization of having these things, knowing they never will, because it was never more important than the price. My question is: Are you willing to pay the price of living the life, and being the person God intended you to be (the person you always dreamt of being)? Or do you just like the idea of it, because you know you'll never be willing enough to pay for it? Cause if you are... Yes, it's going to be costly, for some time you'll be paying the price as I mentioned above, but If you are willing to push through, on the other side of it is what you really paid for. And even better, it's never-ending. Once you get there, there will be more things you can work on, new purposes, new goals, new standards. And don't let this scare you, this is the first and only reason it's worth it in the first place ❤️🦾

Play the game from the highest version of yourself, their eyes!
